About to step into the octagon for the last time, Dustin poirier will close one of the most successful careers of the history of sport when measuring forces with Max Holloway for the third time at UFC 318. However, Diamante's 'last dance' could be the beginning of a new practice in the fighter's life. According to the former interim lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg), as soon as he stops being an athlete, he will start using anabolic steroids.

The statement was given in an exclusive interview with UFC, in conversation with reporter Megan Olivi, as part of the promotional material for the company's next pay-per-view.
“This is going to be the last time I weigh 70,3 pounds in my life, I promise you that. Listen, I’m going to take steroids. As soon as USADA stops knocking on my door and I take the gloves off, I’m going to get strong and tan.”
"Listen, I'm getting on steroids. Once USADA stops knocking on my door and I lay the gloves down, I'm getting JACKED."

Present in the Ultimate for over a decade, Diamante was part of the top 5 in the featherweight division (up to 65,7 kg) until he was knocked out by Conor McGregor in September 2014. He later transitioned to lightweight (up to 70,3 kg) and had the opportunity to fight for the belt of the most populous category in MMA on three occasions, being surpassed by Khabib Nurmagomedov, Charles of the Bronx e Islam makhachev.
