Dustin Poirier wished with a song by his daughter on his birthday
UFC lightweight fighter Dustin Poirier celebrated his 32nd birthday on Tuesday, and he got the perfect birthday wish as his daughter sang a birthday song for him.
Poirier shared the video of his daughter wishing him. He would probably not be able to celebrate with his family as he is training for the weekend.
The Diamond is married to his wife, with whom he has a kid. Their daughter, Parker Noelle Poirier, was born on August 20th, 2016. She is currently 4 years old.
Poirier, who was born on 19th January in 1989, is scheduled to fight in the main event of UFC 257 this weekend. He will take on Conor McGregor in a rematch of their bout at UFC 178 in 2014.
The Notorious One won the bout more than 6 years ago against Poirier. However, times are different now. The American has lost just once in his last 8 UFC fights, which was to the lightweight legend Khabib Nurmagomedov.
He is on the back of an impressive victory against Dan Hooker and would be hoping to trump the Irishman in a bid to win the belt again.
The fight at UFC 257 has added value to it as Dana White recently revealed that Nurmagomedov may make a return to UFC depending on how the contenders for the lightweight belt perform at this week’s PPV.
Earlier this week, Carlos Condit picked Poirier as his winner in the bout due to the American’s evolution in recent years. A few priors to that, Amanda Ribas made a similar prediction.
Poirier would be hoping their predictions come true and he can lead the line of the contenders for the lightweight belt.
