Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier was recently announced as an analyst for the upcoming pay-per-view event, UFC 319. The former interim light weight champion is a favorite with fans, both inside and outside the cage. He has won the hearts of many by his Good Fight Foundation” Those essential groceries for families helps with school supplies and helps to build playgrounds for children with disabilities.
The analyst mission of Poirier comes less than a month after his bittersweet pension fight against Max “blessed” Holloway on UFC 318. Although the result was a loss in his hometown, it was still considered one of the most sincere and honorable retirement that the UFC ever gave a Fighter.
Dustin Poirier is the embodiment of MMA for many fans, so his rapid return behind the desk on August 16 is a welcome appearance. This will not be his first Rodeo as an analyst – he made his debut in 2023 at UFC 287. Even before they retire, fans embraced how of course he stepped into the role. The articulated communication style of Dustin Poirier, combined with a deep understanding of the sport, makes it perfect for the role.
Dustin Poirier is in good company
In the past decade it has become common for the UFC to hire its own hunters to serve as analysts during events. This approach was successful, For the most part.
The first remarkable hunter to make the transition to Analyst was in my opinion Kenny Florian. A former title -challenger in three weight distributions, “Kenflo” has a natural talent for breaking down matchups.
The UFC also brought former champions such as Daniel Cormier, Dominick Cruz, Michael Bisping and Tyron Woodley to do analysts-of whom some have become full-time commentators at the Cageside.
Dustin Poirier is in good company and I believe that his star will shine just as clearly behind the desk as in the cage.
