Dustin Poirier explains how Jolie Poirier became a Fight Fan
As mentioned above Jolie Poirier has stood like a pillar and supported Dustin Poirier throughout his career. The Diamond described how Jolie Poirier became a fight fan ahead of his rematch against Conor McGregor at UFC 257.
Poirier had mentioned in a video that “I know a lot of people don’t like to bring their wives around them during fight week and stuff but that’s not the case here. It was just me and her 14 years ago driving to fights in her car and staying in the same hotel room. It’s our livelihood, so she’s so much intertwined with it all now that’s why she is a fan of the sport.
As a result, it was no surprise that she was present to watch her husband fight against Conor McGregor. After Dustin Poirier knocked out McGregor in the second round to win the fight, she was ecstatic and claimed “I told you that’s the last time you’re gonna doubt my husband. I swear to God.”
