“Adversity teaches a man a lot about himself.” — Dustin Poirier Quote

Adversity teaches a man a lot about himself.

I was a born fighter before I got technical, and that's still in me.

That grit of fighting is addictive, I'm scared of it. It's a very weird thing.

Now I'm with the American Top Team, I'm a better fighter, I'm a more patient fighter, I've improved in every aspect.

People I grew up with, my family, work in the oil fields. Everyone works a labor job - construction, concrete. All we know is work. It's a physical culture.

Yes, I did shatter my leg, and it really changed my life, in a way. It wasn't much fun, but it did open me up, and as we all know intuitively, adversity can develop resources.

Adversities such as being homeless and going to prison has made many people stronger.

The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

There's a lot of growing you can have when you're in adversity, when you're in a losing situation.

I've faced adversity throughout my whole life.
