Dustin Poirier's lightweight run started after his famous loss loss against a bitter rival.
In September 2014, Conor McGregor bounced the head of Poirier off the floor to prove that he was the real deal during a 106 -second victory at UFC 178.
The victory laid 'notorious' on the path that saw him become one of the largest UFC hunters ever.
In the meantime, Dustin Poirier decided to stop featherweight and to go to the 155LB division where he continues to compete a decade later.

Dustin Poirier was matched against Diego Ferreira, who started his career with 11 straight victories.
The Brazilian wanted to bounce back from his first loss when he was against 'The Diamond'.
Beneuil Dariush defeated Ferreira with a unanimous decision six months before he was chosen brutally by Poirier.
The resident of Louisiana dropped Ferreira several times before the show was closed with land and pound.
In the end, Poirier insisted his unconscious opponent through the UFC Octagon floor when the referee did not intervene immediately after Ferreira's lights went out.
What is the next step for Dustin Poirier?
Dustin Poirier will bring his legendary MMA career to an end after a final dance.
Last week Poirier confirmed his UFC pension fight opponent after missing the first choice.
He is opposed to the former UFC -Fedweight Champion Max Holloway on Lightweight for the BMF -Riem on UFC 318 on July 19.
Poirier already has two victories in Holloway, so that is why he preferred Justin Gaethje, whom he eliminated and eliminated by their two-Fight series, which apparently will never be arranged with a trilogy.
