Retired UFC fighter Dustin Poirier speaks publicly after an arrest in Atlanta over alleged public drunkenness. Multiple reports say Poirier acknowledges he is struggling and says he is “at the point where I need some help.” The accounts describe how his time after retirement has been difficult and how he has been dealing with alcohol-related issues. NDTV reports that Poirier links his struggles to the transition away from fighting, and says he is seeking support while focusing on his family and future. BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports similarly focus on his statement that he needs help. Additional reporting from The Independent adds context from a filmed incident around an airport situation, including that Poirier appears to threaten an officer after apparently being removed from a flight, though the overall reporting centers on the arrest for alleged drunkenness. Times of India also notes public reaction from fellow UFC figure Jon Jones, who comments on Poirier moving forward. Overall, the sources agree that Poirier is addressing alcohol concerns and asking for assistance following the arrest.
