Dustin Poirier reveals the one golden rule that he did want to miss

In a hilarious new photoshoot that ESPN MMA shared, Dustin discussed the conversation he had with his cornerman after round 3. Apparently, while his cornerman was pumping him up as he was beginning to gain momentum, Poirier had something else going on in his mind.

Interrupting the pep-talk that his cornerman was giving, Poirier asked:

“How’s my hair?”

Well, quite evidently, maintaining a good hairstyle is an important part of the fight for Poirier!

The fighter also added, “It’s funny. If you ask my daughter, ‘Parker, what are the rules?’. She’ll say, ‘No touching the hair!'”

Nevertheless, he managed to win the complete slug-fest against ‘The Hangman’. Even though his hair did not seem on-point, his skills certainly did. Poirier made it clear that he is far from retiring. Moreover, the exceptional win also puts him in line for title contention, whether it be his next fight or after a stint in between.
