Dustin Poirier is a future UFC Hall of Famer and the former interim lightweight champ. Poirier (UFC record 20-6-1, MMA record 28-7-1) lost to Charles Oliveira at the UFC 269 main event.

In a statement on 9th November, UFC announced their multi-year partnership with the company. Although the statement did not disclose how much the deal was worth, it does seem like a lucrative deal for the Louisiana native. UFC is a major brand with millions and millions of followers worldwide. Hence, the deal will give fans around the world the opportunity to discover the product.
The 33-year-old is extremely excited to get the deal done and spoke about the significance of this opportunity. He explained the reasoning behind the name and revealed the origin of this particular product. It is a historic occasion as it becomes the only hot sauce brand to have a partnership with the UFC.
“It means a lot to have Poirier’s Louisiana Style named the first-ever Official Hot Sauce of UFC, putting in the work – whether it’s training for the next fight, creating a hot sauce company, or helping through our Good Fight Foundation – it’s all about building a legacy for my family and my community. 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.” (h/t via UFC)
