UFC legend Dustin Poirier reveals why he can't bring himself to watch the arrest video, the paid deals he's already lost, his vow to never drink again, and why the hardest fight of his life is happening off the mat.

He founded The Good Fight Foundation with his wife, Jolie, in 2018 and now appears periodically as a desk analyst on UFC broadcasts. In June 2026, he was arrested for public intoxication at an Atlanta airport, after which he shared that he’s struggling with alcohol.  He explains: ◼ What losing your career identity feels like, and how to rebuild when the fight is over ◼ How a childhood of poverty, detention and no father figure shaped the man he became ◼ Why elite athletes often fall apart when they retire, and what to do about it ◼ What going to therapy taught him about the pain he didn't know he was carrying ◼ The mental shift that turned losing to Conor McGregor into beating him  Follow Dustin: Instagram - https://link.thediaryofaceo.com/E2OdPNk X - https://link.thediaryofaceo.com/3XxRxB YouTube - https://link.thediaryofaceo.com/3DQVB2W  The Good Fight Foundation - https://link.thediaryofaceo.com/AbsZdY5 The Diary Of A CEO: ◼ Join DOAC circle here - https://doaccircle.com/  ◼ Buy The Diary Of A CEO book here - https://smarturl.it/DOACbook  ◼ The 1% Diary is back - limited time only: https://bit.ly/3YFbJbt  ◼ The Diary Of A CEO Conversation Cards: https://linkly.link/2hm7r  ◼ Get email updates - https://bit.ly/diary-of-a-ceo-yt  ◼ Follow Steven - https://g2ul0.app.link/gnGqL4IsKKb  Sponsors: Wispr - Get 14 days of Wispr Flow for free at https://wisprflow.ai/steven  Function Health - https://Functionhealth.com/DOAC to sign up for $365 a year.
