Dustin Poirier on what it takes for fourth Conor McGregor fight: 'If the stars align'

Though it is exciting news for all MMA fans, Poirier and McGregor are currently busy with other things. Poirier is fighting for what could be his final title total shot at UFC 302. His opponent is the lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, trained and mentored by Khabib Nurmagomedov who defeated Poirier back at UFC 242. Meanwhile, McGregor is making his long-anticipated UFC comeback at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler.

Is Dustin Poirier getting custom shorts for UFC 302?

The idea of custom gear is very exclusive for a UFC fighter. Even some of the top contenders on the UFC roster have not been able to get their hands on some custom gear for their fights. However, looks like Poirier is on the UFC’s good side and he might be finally getting his own custom shorts for his upcoming fight.

Poirier’s fans are reportedly called the “gilly goose gang”, a term Poirier recently coined after his UFC 299 win. One fan recently sent out a question for ‘The Diamond’ on X. He asked Poirier if he could tell the ‘gilly goose gang’ what colored shorts he would be wearing when he gets the title at UFC 302. Poirier promptly replied to the tweet typing “Floral”.

As of now, Max Holloway was the only fighter to get his own pair of ‘floral shorts’ for UFC 300. Poirier is often seen adorning floral shorts while training. Could he be telling the truth and walking into the octagon with his own pair of floral shorts to face Islam Makhachev at UFC 302? Only time will tell. They will fight this June at the Prudential Centre in Newark, New Jersey.
