- Three months after his UFC 318 farewell loss to Max Holloway in Louisiana, Poirier says he misses competition and that "a part of me has died."
- He admits frustration at walking away on a defeat, saying he won't get the chance to "right the ship" or raise his hand again.
- He reiterates "never say never" on fighting again, but says it would take perfect circumstances and that his wife and family want him to stay retired.
- A potential boxing match with Nate Diaz remains only speculative, with Poirier noting there has been no traction on talks.
- He is staying active as an ESPN desk analyst and through a new Bud Light commercial with Bruce Buffer that features a 1-800-BUD-LIGHT fan contest for UFC 322 tickets at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 15.
