Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor is a never-ending rivalry in the UFC. Both the lightweight combatants never miss a chance to plant a shot at each other, be it an interview or social media. Although Dustin Poirier is hours away from a title fight, he took a jibe at ‘The Notorious’ who has completely transformed his physique.

In an interview with Michael Bisping, ‘The Diamond said, “I did see a picture. He does look a little puffy man, might want to slow down on the Black Forge, whatever he’s got going on.”

‘The Diamond’ is all set to challenge Charles Oliveira for the lightweight gold this Saturday. This is Poirier’s second undisputed title shot in his UFC career. In his first title shot, ‘The Diamond’ was submitted against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242. With that experience under his belt, he will look to use it against ‘Do Bronx’.
