Former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier was recently spotted in his former rival Conor McGregor‘s hometown, Dublin. Fans were wondering as to what could be the reason for him coming to Ireland. Meanwhile, his subsequent social media posts have sparked new speculations. It seems like ‘The Diamond may take up a crucial role in one of his teammate’s upcoming fights.

Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier had engaged in a heated rivalry in the past. Hence, it is safe to assume that the latter did not go to Dublin to pay a visit to his former rival. Instead, he was recently spotted with his American Top Team teammates. Let us take a look at that front.

Dustin Poirier may corner one of his teammates

Bellator 299 is on the horizon, as the event is scheduled to take place at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. The event is set for September 23. Incidentally, two of Dustin Poirier’s Sabah Homasi and Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Eblen will be fighting on the main card. Moreover, Eblen will defend his title in the main event against Fabian Edwards.

This has given rise to speculation that ‘The Diamond’ is there to help them out ahead of their fights. Given that he’s been actively training with them, there is a possibility that Poirier might be in the Eblens’s corner for his fight. ‘The Human Cheat Code’ boasts an undefeated record of 13 wins with no losses and will fight in his second title defense at Bellator 299. Apart from the event this weekend, he even brought gifts to Dublin.

Dustin Poirier has had a lot of success in MMA while fighting under the UFC banner. He is one of the top draws and has a record that most fighters can only dream of. Like his former rival Conor McGregor, he also has a business of his own. The 34-year-old started his new hot sauce brand, ‘Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co.’ a few years ago. As such, he did not forget to get some of the folks in Dublin some bottles of that hot sauce.

In a story on Instagram, Dustin Poirier was seen with three guys in the gym, whom he gave his hot sauce as a gift. He captioned the post: “Got the lads some sauce.” It seems like his brand is growing by the day and people are taking notice of his own hot sauce.
