Alright, let’s gab about this fella, Dustin Poirier. Folks keep askin’ about how tall he is, so I figured I’d spill the beans, you know? Just plain talk, nothin’ fancy.
So, this Dustin Poirier, they call him “The Diamond,” sounds like somethin’ you’d find at the jewelry store, ain’t it? He’s one of them UFC fellas, fightin’ in what they call the “lightweight division.” Sounds kinda skinny to me, lightweights and all, but these boys are tough as nails, don’t you worry none. They say he was born way back in 1989, January 19th to be exact, in a place called Carencro, Louisiana. That’s way down south, where them gators roam, or so I hear.
Now, about his height. People make such a fuss, like it’s the most important thing. Well, I heard he’s 5 foot 9 inches. That ain’t too tall, but it ain’t too short neither. Just a regular kinda fella, height-wise. Some folks use them “metric” thingamajigs, say he’s 175 centimeters. Sounds like a whole lot of somethin’ for just bein’ 5 foot 9, if you ask me. But them city folk like their fancy numbers, so there you have it.
- Born: January 19, 1989
- Place: Carencro, Louisiana, USA
- Height: 5 foot 9 inches (175 cm)
- Fighting Division: UFC Lightweight
He’s American, this fella. Fights in somethin’ called “mixed martial arts.” Sounds like a whole lotta scrappin’ and kickin’ to me. I reckon it’s tough work, all that punchin’ and wrestlin’. They say he’s got a black belt in somethin’ called “Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.” Now, that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? Sounds like some kinda fancy dancin’, but I bet it’s got somethin’ to do with whippin’ your opponent good, real good.
This Dustin, he’s been fightin’ for a long time, seems like. At least since he was a young fella. They say he’s about 31 years old now, or maybe a bit older, dependin’ on when you’re readin’ this. That’s a lot of years spent punchin’ and kickin’. Must be tough on the body, all that roughhousin’. But I guess he’s used to it by now.
And they got this other thing they talk about, his “weight.” Says he weighs somethin’ like 155 pounds. That ain’t much, considering how much those fellas eat. But I guess they gotta stay light on their feet, dancin’ around the ring like they do. It’s all part of the job, I suppose. They also got this “net worth” thing they talk about, how much money he’s got. But that ain’t none of my business, so I ain’t gonna go gossipin’ about that.
So, there you have it. Dustin Poirier, 5 foot 9, fights in the UFC, and is tougher than a boiled owl. That’s about all there is to it, nothin’ more, nothin’ less. He’s just a fella, doin’ his job, just like the rest of us. Just his job happens to be beatin’ the tar out of other fellas. Well, to each their own, I always say.
Now, if you ask me, all that fightin’ ain’t for the faint of heart. Takes a special kinda person to get in that ring and go at it like that. But hey, that’s how they make their livin’, and more power to ’em, I say. As long as they ain’t hurtin’ nobody innocent, I ain’t got no complaints. It’s just the way of the world, some folks scrap, some folks bake pies, and some folks just sit around and gossip, like me.
Anyways, I hope that answers your questions about how tall Dustin Poirier is. He’s 5 foot 9, remember that. And he’s a fighter, a real tough one. Now, I gotta go, got my own chores to do. Can’t be sittin’ here all day talkin’ about fightin’ fellas, even if he is a famous one.
