Dustin Poirier looks fragmented for UFC 318
Dustin Poirier was one of the first hunters of the scale when the two -hour scale opened.
The 36-year-old looked in fantastic form when he posed for photos after taking the 156 pounds of lightweight limit.
UFC commentator Paul Felder was particularly impressed by what Poirier looked like for his last fight.
“He now looks out of his head,” said the retired lightweight in the UFC 318-way show. “That is by far the best he has ever looked at the scale.”
Shortly thereafter, Poirier joined the conversation to talk about the 'easiest' weight saving of his 40-bolt career.
“This has been one of the smoothest fight weeks of my life,” he noticed.
“This was the easiest weight movement. I could easily have been 152 pounds here. I could have kept cutting the weight.
“I felt good. I came in Vechtweek the lightest I have ever come. It made a lot smoother all week, a lot easier.
'I could probably have had [made featherweight]. “
