Poirier was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, and is of Cajun heritage. He attended Northside High School for a short time, but he dropped out in the ninth grade because of repeatedly getting into trouble and street fights.
Poirier turned professional in 2009, quickly compiled a record of 7–0, competing mostly in regional promotions across his native Louisiana and the Southern United States. Glimpses of Poirier's early MMA career in Louisiana are depicted in the documentary Fightville.
