The Underdog Story of Dustin Poirier

This episode we discuss the underdog story of Dustin
Poirier.

Born and raised In Lafayette, Louisiana, Poirier was never
expected to do much, considering his inappropriate behavior all
throughout his childhood.  His parents even sent him to
military style bootcamps and eventually, juvenile prison, to
correct his behavior. He dropped out of high school in 9th grade,
after years of expressing his hatred towards school.

Nothing changed him until he picked up the gloves when he was 18.
It continued with him fighting In bull rings that were catered by
Inmates. Fast forward a decade and a half and he's standing atop
the best In the fight world. 

To show his appreciation for where he came from,  he's
donated a lot of money, one, he covered his middle school
teacher's classroom supplies for the year. He has also started a
foundation of his own, the Good Fight Foundation. He currently
resides in his hometown, Lafayette, and is married to his former
high school girlfriend.
