UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier recently shared an Instagram story reminiscing about his childhood days, when he supposedly used to drink water out of a hose. He also tagged comedian Theo Von, who has shared similar stories on his podcast.

The 45-year-old stand-up comedian is a massive UFC fan and is often seen sitting cageside. Von is also known to share peculiar stories about his childhood on his podcast, This Past Weekend. Also hailing from Louisiana, Poirier has made several appearances on his podcast, and the duo are friends.

The comedian has previously shared an anecdote about his childhood, in which he used to feel refreshed after drinking water straight from the hose-pipe.

Dustin Poirier recaps Michael Chandler's performance at UFC 314

Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimblett locked horns at UFC 314 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, earlier this month. 'The Baddy' made light work of Chandler, finishing the American in the third round via TKO. Poirier, who had previously picked 'Iron' to beat Pimblett, served as a desk analyst for the pay-per-view.

Reviewing the fight and Chandler's performance, Poirier said:

"I think we saw him lose again tonight. Not just lose, but get rolled by a young guy. That was a beating. This didn't look like himself. He didn't look sturdy on his feet. Looked like he was slowing down, which we don't see him ever slow down. These years, catch up to you."

Sunil was drawn to MMA by Conor McGregor, especially the Irishman’s crossover boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017. His favorite fighter is Jorge Masvidal for his wild and unorthodox approach.

Surprisingly, ‘The Notorious’ and ‘Gamebred’ do not find a place in his Mt. Rushmore, which includes Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva, Alex Pereira, Daniel Cormier, and Khabib Nurmagomedov. He feels ONE Championship’s Rodtang Jitmuangnon has the ability to succeed in the UFC due to his power.

Sunil is of the opinion that the UFC is not doing enough to prevent eye pokes and does not mind soccer kicks in MMA.

In his free time, he likes to watch anime and films in general. He’s also a boxing historian, having gotten into the sport watching videos of fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran.
