Dustin Poirier talks Eddie Alvarez rematch, great UFC run and amazing acts of charity

UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier has won Fight of the Night in the last three fights he has finished, and the only reason it's not four in a row is that two illegal knees by Eddie Alvarez ended their bout in the second round and resulted in it being a no contest.

Poirier and Alvarez will meet on July 30 in Calgary with a potential lightweight title shot against Khabib Nurmagomedov at stake. Nurmagomedov has said if he doesn't fight either Conor McGregor or Georges St-Pierre next, he wants the Alvarez-Poirier winner as his first defense.

Poirier is 23-5 overall and 15-4 with that one no-contest in the UFC. He's also got a win over the highly regarded featherweight champion, Max Holloway, though it came before Holloway won the title.

Poirier is not only a great fighter, but he is involved in dozens of charities and gives his time freely to help others. He discusses his efforts toward the end of our interview.

I really like this mans fighting style, the strange thing is that the big UFC masses are somewhat only in it for the big names and sleeping on a lot of good fighters...like this man..
