It is (the girl is his current wife even). He used to talk a lot about how he used to be overweight and shit and made a decision to lead a healthier life.
There was also a documentary I saw like 10 years ago at a film festival that featured him and one other dude coming up in the smaller shows. He talked a lot about it there too. Can't remember the name of the doc at the moment

edit:
This one here. You don't get to see Chonk Dustin, but he talks about it

Holy shit! wow.

Its so insane how TERRIBLE some people look when they gain weight. Im the same way, when I gain weight it shows in my face and I look so much worse. When I lose weight and am in decent shape I look WAY different. This Dustin Poirier pic might be the best example of this I ever seen.

Some people put on weight well, and look healthy, or they settle into their weight well (tall, lanky, ectomorph, etc). Or they are fortunate and dont really show the weight on their face and jowls, but their belly and ass instead or something.

But lol holy shit, ol' Dustin has come a LONG WAY. His entrance music now makes SO much more sense to me. He did in fact, pay the cost to be the boss. His demeanor during his ringwalk along with that trumpet or cornet? playing that tune in the background just radiates alpha BDE.

Wasn't that a compound spiral fracture? So like ten million billion times worse than what happened to McGregor? And even he managed to play again.

McGregor: UFC knew of fractures entering fight

Conor McGregor said he had "multiple stress fractures" in his left leg before his fight against Dustin Poirier on Saturday. "Ask Dana White. Ask the UFC," McGregor said. "... They knew I had stress fractures in my leg going into that cage."

Is he fucking dumb? He sure as fuck must be. There is no way UFC knew, and if they did, he shouldn't be yapping about it. I'm sure the athletic commission is going to have a field day with this.

While I cant stand the guy, he is one hell of a fighter. That was shocking to me too to see hes not even a ranked contender. I dont know how thats even possible with his resume.

Money+ego= a hell of a drug.

i was really surprised O'Malley didn't get ranked this week. does anyone know if you can still see how each person voted? thought it was on ufc's official site but don't see it.
O'Malley does thinks he should be fighting top5 and wants Rob Font #3 BW on 4 fight win streak

MAIN CARD (ESPN/ESPN+, 10 p.m. ET)
Islam Makhachev (155.5) vs. Thiago Moises (156)
Marion Reneau (136) vs. Miesha Tate (135)
Mateusz Gamrot (155.5) vs. Jeremy Stephens (156)
Dustin Stoltzfus (185.5) vs. Rodolfo Vieira (185)
Gabriel Benitez (146) vs. Billy Quarantillo (145.5)

PRELIMINARY CARD (ESPN/ESPN+, 7 p.m. ET)
Preston Parsons (169.5) vs. Daniel Rodriguez (171)
Amanda Lemos (115.5) vs. Montserrat Conejo (113.5)
Sergey Morozov (135) vs. Khalid Taha (135.5)
Anderson dos Santos (135.5) vs. Miles Johns (135.5)
Francisco Figueiredo (125.5) vs. Malcolm Gordon (125.5)
Alan Baudot (246) vs. Rodrigo Nascimento (259)

Rooting for my girl Miesha to do well. But shes been away a long time. Hopefully she at least can be competitive.

How is Tate looking rn? hasn't it been 6-7 years retirement?

Surprised to see her back in the game. That's a hell of a layoff. GSP at 40 years old would have been a much bigger hoax though-- glad that fell through.
