Interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier blogs for MMA Junkie each week on the road to his UFC 242 title-unification bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov, which takes place Saturday at The Arena at Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. In the fifth and final edition of “Dustin’s Diaries,” Poirier (25-5 MMA, 17-4 UFC) makes the long journey overseas for the fight with Nurmagomedov (27-0 MMA, 11-0 UFC) and gets a surprising reception; celebrates his 10-year wedding anniversary; prepares for fight night; and announces a new partnership for his charity. * * * * The reception in Abu Dhabi I’ve never had a reception like what I had in Abu Dhabi. I didn’t even have to go through customs. The Abu Dhabi Board of Entertainment grabbed me off the plane and walked me through the back and into VIP arrival.
