Many MMA athletes spend their entire career in the sport with nothing to show for it in the end except for slurred speech and a long list of ailments. For Dustin Poirier this won’t be the case. Poirier had caught a lucky break when McGregor targeted him for his long awaited return back in 2021.

“These hot sauces come from the cuisine I grew up with in Lafayette, Louisiana. These are my roots, and I’m excited for UFC fans to share the Cajun flavors I love.”
