Dustin Poirier is known for his relentless attack on the feet in the UFC octagon, but he recently had the chance to show off his underrated ground game as well against one of the world’s biggest giants.
Poirier recently had the chance to get some grappling rounds in with World’s Strongest Man competitor Brian Shaw and did more than just hold his own.
In a video circulating on social media, Poirier appeared to get the upper hand against the 6’8”, 400-pound Shaw, even forcing him to tap to a rear-naked choke.
