Dustin Poirier admits he helped teammate cheat scale to make weight
Poirier will do whatever it takes to help his teammates.
Poirier recently recalled an incident in which he helped a teammate
make weight illegally. Poirier's friend was over the weight limit
for a fight in Mississippi, and the former
Ultimate Fighting Championship interim titleholder resorted to
manipulating the scale to help him.
Dustin Poirier details how he lifted an overweight teammate
during a Mississippi weigh-in
Fighters shed every bit of clothing and stand behind a towel when
they're close to the weight limit. Poirier stood behind the towel
with his teammate while everyone else was on the other side. “The
Diamond†claims he slightly lifted his friend so that he made
weight.
“One time one of my buddies was fighting in Mississippi,†Poirier
said on the “Deep Waters†podcast. “And they had the towel out, he
was naked, he was over [the weight limit]. I was behind the towel
with him. Everybody was in front. I grabbed a handful of hairy man
*ss cheeks and I lifted him up a little bit, got him on
weight.â€
Poirier (30-10) hung up his gloves after losing to Max
Holloway last year. He has since admitted that he misses
fighting and hasn't entirely ruled out a return.
Don’t say that @DustinPoirier doesn’t help
out his teammates 🤣 [ Deep Waters | LIVE NOW

Zabit Magomedsharipov is heading to the wrestling mats.
Promotional officials confirmed to MMA Fighting that Magomedsharipov is set to face fellow UFC featherweight veteran Giga Chikadze at RAF Abu Dhabi. The event takes place Nov. 14 at Etihad Arena.
Magomedsharipov had his final MMA fight nearly seven years ago, defeating Calvin Kattar in the main event of UFC Moscow in November 2019. The 35-year-old went 6-0 during his UFC run, including a victory over Jeremy Stephens, along with a trio of stoppage wins.
Chikadze is a 13-fight UFC veteran who began his promotional run with seven straight wins before running into Kattar in the main event of UFC Vegas 46 in January 2022, losing a lopsided unanimous decision in his first UFC main event. Since then, “Ninja†picked up a win against Alex Caceres, but has since dropped his past four octagon appearances.
Additionally, Jordan Burroughs opponent for the event is set as he'll face Azamat Nurykau from their classic matchup during the 2019 world championships — which Burroughs won in dramatic fashion.
RAF Abu Dhabi is headlined by a cruiserweight crossover championship match between Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev.
Ultimate Fighting Championship employee Salhahuddin
Everett will look to become a UFC fighter Tuesday.
Everett (4-0) currently works as a runner for the UFC. He is set to
fight Ozzy Martin
(4-0) for a UFC contract on
Week 9 of
Dana White's Contender Series on Oct. 6. Everett recently
revealed that his dream of becoming a UFC fighter nearly cost him
his job with the company.
UFC runner Salhahuddin Everett puts his 4-0 record on the line
against Ozzy Martin
Everett originally applied for a job with the UFC in 2019. When the
director of security asked Everett about his five-year plan,
“Bundy†said he wanted to be a UFC fighter. Everett did not get the
job on his first attempt. He eventually joined the company through
a third-party security agency before transitioning to a full-time
runner role.
“I actually applied for the UFC in 2019 and didn't get the job,â€
Everett told Spinnin' Backfist. “I remember telling the director of
security – he asked me where I would see myself in five years – and
I told him, ‘Fighting for the UFC.' And he actually didn't give me
the job for whatever reason. A year and a half later, or two years
later, I wound up working for them.â€
Everett has finished all four of his professional fights in the
first round and also compiled a perfect 4-0 amateur record.
Sal Everett is looking to become the first
UFC employee to earn a fighter contract from the company. He almost
was never hired by the security team after revealing his dream of
being a UFC fighter when asked about his five-year plan. Dana’s
personal runner fights tomorrow night on DWCS.— Spinnin Backfist (@SpinninBackfist)
