Dustin Poirier is undeniably one of the most lethal fighters in the UFC. The 34-year-old Louisiana native has defeated some of the most dangerous fighters in the promotion, further bolstering his reputation as a top-tier fighter. Currently ranked 2 in the division, Poirier is coming off of a sensational submission victory against the ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler at UFC 281 in November 2021.

Since then, ‘Diamond’ hasn’t stepped inside the octagon, but that hasn’t stopped his fans from keeping a watchful eye on his previous fights. Recently, one of Poirier’s eagle-eyed fans pointed out a move that the fighter does in most of his fights, ironically in the fights that he won. This particular antic of Dustin Poirier has become quite popular on Twitter and has even become a meme template for the fight fans.
