In fact, Poirier is still going pretty hard on the mats at American Top Team (ATT) in Florida. Earlier this week, \u201cDiamond\u201d returned to the gym to train alongside UFC lightweight contender Mateusz Gamrot. The two have been training partners for quite some time, but they haven\u2019t share the mat too much since Poirier stepped away from the sport after UFC 318 back in July 2025.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Poirier took to social media to reveal that he ended up breaking his toe while training at ATT. \u201cDiamond\u201d posted the below video to X<\/a> showing off his broken toe to his gym partners and fight fans everywhere. Poirier\u2019s pinky toe was definitely messed up and he was clearly in some pain.<\/p>\n \u201cIt hurt, but I\u2019ll do it again,\u201d said Poirier as he began to bend his toe to the side. \u201cIt hurt but I\u2019m going to do it for the camera.\u201d<\/p>\n Poirier, who turned 37 this past January, has been busy trying to enjoy life after UFC, which includes some performance-enhancing decisions<\/a>. However, \u201cDiamond\u201d has vocalized his love for the sport and that he still misses it dearly<\/a>. If Poirier ever had the thought of returning to action in 2026 he now has to deal with a broken toe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In fact, Poirier is still going pretty hard on the mats at American Top Team (ATT) in Florida.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":480418,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,40762,785,85,1396],"class_list":["post-480417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=480417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/480417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/480418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=480417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=480417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=480417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
