Dustin Poirier enjoys pension life.
The former UFC -Interim -light weight champion laid the gloves in the main event of UFC 318 last month and retired after a grim decision loss for BMF champion Max Holloway in New Orleans.
Poirier returned to the UFC a few weeks later, not as a hunter but as an analyst on the desk at UFC 319.

Dustin Poirier opens 'Silly Goose Fitness Club', wife responds
Poirier has put the work in the gym – his home gymnastics, that is.
Poirier added his own personal touch by painting 'Silly Goose Fitness Club' on the wall, a nod to 'Gilly Goose Gang', an expression that he has devised for trying Guillotine entries in his UFC career. Poirier said famous “don't be stupid, jump the Gilly.”
Poirier also placed stickers of geese with red bandanas.
“If I hit the lottery, I will not say anything, but there will be signs,” wrote Poirier on X.
“We don't make any requests,” Poirier responded to a fan who asked for a membership.
His wife, Jolie Poirier, responded hilariously to the paint.
“No seriously @UFC takes him back,” Jolie wrote about her Instagram story.
“Dustin cannot stay without supervision,” Poirier's wife added.
Dustin Poirier never lost two in a row until retirement is fighting
Before his trilogy with Max Holloway, Poirier had never lost back-to-back fights.
That is the achievement to have more than a 40-fighter career, but unfortunately it came to an end in Poirier's 32nd UFC appearance.
Poirier lost Van Holloway on the score cards and almost got against the then pound-for-pound King Islam Makhachev on UFC 302, but 'The Diamond' was eventually submitted by Makhachev in the final round.
The 36-year-old Poirier withdrew from the UFC with a winning record of 22-9 (1 AD).
