Dustin Poirier's wife Jolie Poirier: 5 fast facts you need to know

When Dustin Poirier prepares to put his gloves in the octagon and drive into the metaphorical sunset, the former preliminary lightweight champion said that his wife Jolie is ready to come home.

Before the diamond 318 headliner this evening you will find five quick facts about Dustin Poirier's wife.

#1: She wrote him letters to him while he was in youth prison

While many fans know that Dustin Poirier's wife was with him throughout his UFC career, the two go back to middle school.

In an interview with UFC.com, Poirier explained how he had to go to court when he was 10 years old after he had knocked out a 15-year-old's teeth during a fight. Years later, partly because of his previous legal problems, he ended up in adolescence.

When he explained to the former NFL QB Robert Griffin III in an episode of his Outta Pocket Podcast, Jolie was next to his mother, who wrote letters to him:

“When I was in adolescence and I and I was not even together at the time, she wrote me every week. One of the only ones – next to my mother – was the only letters I would get. And when I got out of young people, she was the whole way to watch all the way to watch me, and as it was, and as it was.

#2: She drove Dustin to his first fight

Dustin Poirier's wife was not only his biggest supporter during his entire UFC career, but has also been the largest supporter since the first day.

During a appearance at the Danza project at the beginning of the week, Poirier reduced his wife's support over the years and said:

“She was with me- I had no car, she drove me to my first fight when I was 18 years old. I've been with my wife for a long time. She saw both sides [of the fight game] And she is only ready for me to come home. “

When he further explained, his wife was also the first to be informed about his plans to retire.

#3: She is a C0 owner in a wine shop

As early as 2023, Jolie and Dustin Poirier bought the Wine Mart from Marcello, a company with several other Lafayette locals, a company that has been around for more than 30 years.

According to Developinglafayette.com, the group teamed up to buy the wine shop after the owner retired. The outlet quoted one of the other co -owners with the words:

“We are very pleased to continue the inheritance that Gene and Carlos Todaro created in the community. Our plans for the acquisition are to make small, incremental upgrades for the company and at the same time maintain its presence and integrity in the community.”

The company often makes giveaways when Poirier fights, as to see below.

#4: She once gave Conor McGregor the middle finger

After Conor McGregor had respectfully held things for her UFC 257 -Clash in 2021, he pulled out all stops in his UFC 264 fight with Dustin Poirier, especially in the diamond's wife.

After McGregor had broken his leg at the end of the first round, the former Champ Champ doubled while he spoke to Joe Rogan for his Octagon interview after the fight and claimed that Dustin Poirier's wife was in his DMS.

In response, Jolie gave him the middle finger on his way out of the octagon while firing a series of words in Irish star.

At that time she shared a picture of the moment that was recorded by a fan in her Instagram story.

#5: She is the director of the Good Fight Foundation

As early as 2018, Dustin Poirier and his wife decided to use memorabilia from previous fights to collect money to give backpacks with school material to students and computers to teachers at ACADIAN MIDDLE School.

The decision led to the creation of the Good Fight Foundation, which thousands of dollars collected for various charity organizations, contributed to bringing water to an African village, and much more in the couple's hometown.

In view of the fact that Dustin's focus was on the fight, Jolie acts as VP and director of the Good Fight Foundation.
