Lafayette, Louisana’s own Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier is a determined warrior both inside and outside the octagon. Although Dustin is widely considered an all-time great and one of the UFC’s most recognizable fighters, he is a humble champion who fights his philanthropic battles just as hard as he does any in the cage. Bearing big wins in the UFC over the likes of Max Holloway, Eddie Alvarez, Anthony Pettis, Justin Gaethje and Conor Mcgregor, Dustin has always been able to roll the momentum from his MMA success into “Good Fights” for the community. He and his wife, Jolie, founded The Good Fight Foundation, with a mission dedicated to giving back to underserved communities.
“Grit, determination, the right amount of crazy, self-belief: everything it takes to be a champion. I have that.”
