Dustin Poirier recently appreciated Jim Miller for earning a victory with his favorite submission maneuver

Dustin Poirier earned a lot of attention from the UFC community for trying to submit Benoit Saint Denis with guillotine chokes at UFC 299. Poirier's cornermen advised him to refrain from using the move anymore during the break between the first and second rounds. But, he ignored their instructions to jump guillotines a couple of times more before knocking his rival out in the second round.

But Poirier's former rival, Jim Miller, earned a superb submission victory over Damon Jackson with a guillotine choke at UFC 309. The former interim lightweight champ expressed his delight for the same and said:

"You miss all the ones you don't jump! Congratulations @JimMiller_155"
