At UFC 302, might the “The Diamond” be coated in flowers?
X account Championship Rounds has us questioning after sharing a photograph Tuesday purporting to be of particular floral designed Dustin Poirier shorts posted on the Venum U.Okay. web site forward of Saturday evening’s pay-per-view occasion (ESPN+) headlined by Poirier’s light-weight title battle towards Islam Makhachev.

The UFC historically has strayed away from permitting fighters to put on something aside from basic-colored shorts made by Venum, though an exception was made not too long ago. At UFC 300 in April, bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley wore specifically made sizzling pink shorts, whereas Max Holloway was allowed to put on Hawaiian-themed floral shorts of his personal.
Maybe the UFC is making one other exception for one of many really good guys on its roster in Poirier.
Given what Holloway did to Justin Gaethje as an underdog at UFC 300, let’s simply say that if Poirier pulls off the upset of Makhachev to lastly win an undisputed title carrying these shorts, there’s positively some floral magic happening.
