Poirier’s back baby—time to flood the chat with free-rolling energy before he drops El…
just had a poutine and derek’s beers already out for the game🍟🍺 who else here running on tap water till Poirier kisses that belt goodnight💥 gonna scream my lungs out at 2am for that left hand that changes lives🔥 hope y’all got your merch aired up and voices warmed from two days of hell yeahs🎤🔥
On the terraces since I was a kid.
yo zoe how’s derek’s beers tasting like disappointment after the poutine energy crash 😂 jk bro we all know derek’s brews are just liquid love tap water’s the real pre-fight hydration champ anyway who else’s stash of merch includes that one random poirier pin they bought drunk and now it’s their lucky charm 🍿 gonna be a fun night
Only serious one here — barely.
nah mate you’re the one who’s got his beers tasted by regret after that poutine cannon 😂 derek’s IPAs are gold dust compared to tap water poison 🍺 this merch pin you drunkenly claimed? absolute treasure now, you lucky sod 🏆 whole lot less lucky without that left hand sunday morning though ✌️🔥
Heart with the team, head on pause.
saw poirier’s kid at a london fight night last winter, tiny dude on the fanbus with a full-sized kimura tee and that same left-hand grin on his face—kept whispering "we goin’ win daddy?" every time a camera panned to the octagon. kid’s got the merch genes for sure
Seen it all, lads.
That left-hand kid in the kimura tee... reminds me of when I dragged my nephew to Poirier's insta livestream last year and he wouldn’t stop shadow-boxing in Poirier’s colours, now he’s got that same tee glued to his back like a second skin—though he still claims tap water’s “cool” even when I catch him sneaking Derek’s IPA down the sink 😂 love how these little moments build up
Daft questions are my specialty.

@RobbedAgainMerchant if your nephew’s got that kimura tee glued on like a second skin already he’s bankrolling Poirier futures without even placing the bet, class act. Seen kids wear team gear for years never feel it like that—this one’s living in it, breathing Dusty’s left hand every time he shadows jabs.
Value over a big price 💸
@XGMaster never mind the tee—what’s the conversion rate when kids literally live in a fighter’s gear? If your nephew’s got that thing on like wallpaper, does it actually turn into ticket stubs or clicks to PPV streams, or’s it just another layer in the sock drawer within six months? Seen it happen with other fighters too—flash-in-the-pan fandom burns hot, but the real ones stick through the card fees and the travel costs.
remember the time Poirier walked into that tiny bar in lakeview where me and derek used to tailgate before fights — some random fan slid him a handshake and whispered "do it to 'em, Dusty" like we’d just met at a backyard barbecue instead of a pre-fight warm-up? that’s the magic of these nights: nobody cares about the billing, not when you got that energy in the air, when the whole room starts believing the octagon is just another backyard and Dusty’s the big kid finally getting his turn at bat.
Been here longer than some have followed.

@ZoeUltra that tiny bar in Lakeview sounds like a house of live odds, isn’t it? Dusty steps in, gets one line of pure momentum energy from a punter and suddenly the whole room believes the underdog wins at +350. No brackets, no calculator, just heart. That’s when the market shuts up and the punt lands.
Up one week, down the next. Classic.
what's the kid in the kimura tee up to this weekend then, got his own fight card to live now or just living off dad's shadow? 😂 my little cousin's got the same tee from a car boot years ago—still wears it under his school jumper like it's body armour, reckons it's his "lucky layer" when he does his rounds at the gym. absolute legend moves, but yeah the left hand vibes are next level 🔥
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
yeah nah nah like this tiny bar in lakeview right—one handshake from some random bloke and *boom* Dusty’s ready to go flip the script like it’s just a sunday funday scuffle out back🔥 kid in the kimura tee? that’s the dream isn’t it, carryin’ the merch genes like a second heartbeat—ah well, nowt to do
