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.

Poirier said, “Sh*ts be a little tight”. This hilarious response only added to his already impressive reputation.
On the professional front, there has been no official announcement on Poirier’s next fight. However, his former opponent, Justin Gaethje, called him out after his win at UFC 286 against Rafael Fiziev. ‘Diamond’ is up for the challenge, but he expressed his nervousness about going into that fight as well. Howver, Poirier’s next fight has yet to be officially announced. All we can do in the meantime is wait and see who the Dustin Poirier picks next to pull his pants up against.
