UFC star Dustin Poirier was "tapped out" while grappling World's Strongest Man

UFC star Dustin Poirier was "tapped out" during a grappling match with former World's Strongest Man winner Brian Shaw.

'The Diamond' has yet to compete in the UFC in 2022, and has not fought in the octagon since losing in his title challenge against Charles Oliveira last December. Poirier is eyeing redemption at 155lb and is set to rekindle his title hopes in an upcoming clash with fellow contender Michael Chandler on the undercard of UFC 281 at Madison Square Garden next Saturday night.

Poirier has been preparing in training camp for the clash and has even spent time with former World's Strongest Man championship winner Shaw, who has won the competition on four occasions. Despite having no prior grappling experience, Shaw came up against his native counterpart on the mat during their gym meeting.
