I've said it before, I'm not a matchmaker, I don't call the shots. I just prepare and fight the guys after I sign the contract.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
I'm not a matchmaker, I don't know the logic behind the decisions they make.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
When I'm in south Florida I'm training, resting, training. I'm working on my craft out here, very tediously. That's what I come out here for.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
I'm the kind of guy that grows, and that's what I do everyday in the gym. Work on new stuff and stay relevant.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
I've just been in a lot of big fights, and I've been in some good spots and some bad spots.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
If you're training for a fight, you're going to be pretty much, there's going to be days where you're hurting.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
Of course every fighter, whether they admit it or not, they have aches and pains and they go into fights hurt.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
I'm a complete fighter and I'm not scared, I'm very willing to use every part of the game to get the win by any means necessary.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
The cut made me hate the process of getting ready for a fight. I was focused on how to make weight instead of how to beat my opponent.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
If a champ has to take a long layoff then I think that's the only time interim titles should be introduced to the division.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
Now I'm with the American Top Team, I'm a better fighter, I'm a more patient fighter, I've improved in every aspect.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
I feel like everybody's who fighting, young fighters and still learning and growing, that should be their goal - to be the UFC world champion.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
My goal and path is always to get to the mountaintop and be a world champion, and leave a fighting legacy.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
Grit, determination, the right amount of crazy, self belief - everything it takes to be a champion. I have that.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
I knew I had the ability to become a world champion, I knew I did. I knew I just needed the opportunity.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
People I grew up with, my family, work in the oil fields. Everyone works a labor job - construction, concrete. All we know is work. It's a physical culture.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
Every fight is like a different landscape of what you go through. But sometimes it's small injuries. Sometimes it's lessons you walk away with. Every fight is different but they all hurt, for sure.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
Yeah I do think featherweight is done for me. It sucks because I worked hard and fought a lot of hard fights and did a lot of things right to move up the rankings and I have to abandon all that moving to 155 starting fresh.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
Cutting to featherweight took months of intense weight cutting and training. Going to lightweight, I can fight more often.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
I probably should have been fighting at 155 for a long time, but I was so close to the top at 145.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
Fighting comes down to who you are as a person. With B.J. Penn, he has no problems, not a hard upbringing and came up with money or whatever and he's just a fighter, he enjoys the fight and he refined his skills so I don't think it necessarily has to be a rough upbringing for guys to be great fighters.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
You can't just be only going to the gym when you sign a fight contract or you'll just be the same fighter every time, just more experienced.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
I'm chasing gold. And whatever fight can get me closer to being a world champion, those are the fights that I want.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
I feel like I've always been a great fighter but I'm learning the patience part of it and not getting overwhelmed with emotion and adrenaline and going out there and brawling like a maniac.
Quote by -Dustin Poirier
There's always the pressure to win. That never goes away, but being a main event, I want to go out there and put on a great show for the fans and live up to being a main event. That doesn't really stress me out or pressure me anymore. The fight is enough.
