This is what happened, when you change your team, leave the sparring partners who made you a champion and sparring with little kids, far away from reality.

Congrats @DustinPoirier on a great performance. Lightweight division it’s deeper than ever been. Hope the Champ decides what he’s going to do so the division keep moving forward #UFC257 #ufc

Poirier reminding the world who he is!! Very impressive performance from Dustin, especially utilizing those calf kicks. I don’t think Conor realized what those felt like. #UFC257
