INSANE! Dustin Poirier Gives an Inside Look into Samsung’s Hi-Tech Combat Ring

UFC lightweight star Dustin Poirier took to social media and touted his latest brand deal partnership with Samsung in a short clip. ‘The Diamond’ has become one of the biggest stars in the sport ever since he picked up back-to-back wins over Conor McGregor. Now a star in his own right, Poirier has secured tie-ups with some mega brands and it doesn’t get bigger than Samsung.

The video grab sees Poirier unveil the new Samsung GalaxyZ Fold 3 and the unboxing process is unique, to say the least. The Louisiana native can be seen literally punching a boxing pad in a futuristic gym and eventually acquiring the Samsung device. Labeled as a kind of ‘Boxing Unboxing’, the advertisement/clip is a unique integration of a fighter and a brand.

However, to Dustin Poirier’s credit, not only did he manage to win two straight fights against the Irishman, but he also carried himself like a star. With increased interview appearances, the launch of a hotsauce brand, and his continued charity work, Poirier became a marquee name. It’s no surprise that a brand like Samsung has reached out to Poirier for a collaboration.

Furthermore, Dustin Poirier has the opportunity to capture the acclaimed lightweight title in December. He is scheduled to face Charles Oliveira and could further bolster his place in the ranks with a win. Having a belt over his shoulder will go a long way in attracting even more endorsement deals going forward.
