What is Conor McGregor's take on Dustin Poirier's hot sauce?

The weigh-ins for UFC 257 saw a jovial Conor McGregor as he received his bottle of 'Poirier's Louisiana Style' hot sauce. The Notorious One appreciated Diamond's consideration at the weigh-ins and asserted that fans can expect a great show on January 23.

"It's great to be back here. I am delighted that I got the Louisiana hot sauce. I look forward to bringing the hot sauce and the fire tomorrow... I'm so excited to be back. You're in for a treat tomorrow night", said Conor McGregor at the UFC 257 ceremonial weigh-ins.

Earlier this week the Irishman had expressed his desire to taste Poirier's hot sauce at the press conference for UFC 257.

"You’ve got the hot sauce Dustin. I’d love to taste the hot sauce... I’d appreciate that. I’ve got a bottle of Proper (Twelve) for you. I’d love to share that," said Conor McGregor.

This courteous promotion ahead of UFC 257 is quite the opposite of the buildup for UFC 178 in 2014. Conor McGregor finished Dustin Poirier via knockout in the first round. It was said that the Notorious One was able to get into the head of Poirier by his antics and verbal jibes.

The rematch will be held in the lightweight division, unlike the first meeting which was in the featherweight division. The Irishman seems to be chivalrous around this time. It will be interesting to see how a straight headed Poirier fares against Conor McGregor in the rematch on January 23.
