The UFC is home to many multi-talented individuals. And they haven’t limited themselves to just Mixed Martial Arts disciplines. Some are talented beyond the octagon as well. Conor McGregor is an Origami craftsman. Michael Bisping is a DJ. Whereas Georges St-Pierre is an expert in paleontology. Meanwhile, it seems like Dustin Poirier is the supreme sorcerer of the UFC universe.

In a recent outing, Dustin Poirier shared a video of him pulling off an insane magic trick in front of his family. In the video, a woman close to ‘The Diamond’ can be heard saying, “We got a regular Chris Angel on our hands.” As the UFC version of David Blaine, Dustin Poirier pulls off a classic salt-in-hand magic trick.

The recent year has been nothing short of a wild ride for Dustin Poirier. The Louisiana native managed to defeat ‘The Notorious’ not once but twice in the same calendar year. Subsequently, the ‘Diamond’ went close to achieving his dream of a champion belt. However, he was sent packing by the Brazilian submission artist Charles Oliveira at UFC 269.

Since then, the ‘Diamond’ has been pondering over a division change as he doesn’t want to commit himself to the lightweight division anymore.
