Dustin Poirier's hot sauce: What is it and how much does it cost?
Dustin Poirier teamed up with Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. to create his hot sauce brand known as 'Poirier's Louisiana Style'. The 35-year-old UFC star's brand represents his home state of Louisiana where he grew up in.
Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co. is a Canadian company that specializes in producing various hot sauces. In December 2020, Poirier took to X to announce that the first batch of his brand was now available for anyone to purchase online. Poirier's Louisiana Style could be bought for $12.
The price has not changed after three years of its launch and foodies can still buy a bottle of hot sauce at $12 in 2024. The brand also offers different variants like 'Poirier's Louisiana Style - Creole Maple', and 'Poirier's Louisiana Style - K.O. Edition', the latter being the hottest.
According to Heartbeat Hot Sauce Co., Poirier's hot sauce brand is vegan and gluten-free. Some of its ingredients include vinegar, aged cayenne peppers, sea salt, red habanero, celery, garlic, and canola oil.
When Dustin Poirier offered a bottle of his hot sauce brand to Conor McGregor
At the UFC 257 press conference, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier shared a light-hearted moment when the Irishman heaped praise on his UFC 257 opponent, and said that he would love to taste Poirier's hot sauce brand:
"You’ve got the hot sauce Dustin. I’d love to taste the hot sauce."
Poirier responded by saying that he has a bottle for McGregor, to which, 'The Notorious' replied:
"I’d appreciate that. I’ve got a bottle of Proper (McGregor's whiskey brand) for you. I’d love to share that."
With an exchange of hot sauce and whiskey bottles, it was only cordiality between the two UFC stars, unlike the time when they first shared the octagon in 2014.
Heading into the fight, McGregor repeatedly stated that he admired Poirier for his philanthropic work and how he bounced back from his loss to become the interim UFC lightweight champion.
The Poirier vs. McGregor rematch resulted in a second-round knockout win for Poirier. The duo met in the trilogy fight at UFC 264 but unlike the second meeting, McGregor approached the fight with his trademark trash-talk and pre-fight antics.
However, the end to the fight was anti-climactic as Poirier was declared the winner by TKO after McGregor suffered a brutal leg break towards the end of round 1.
