From “You can’t see me,” John Cena’s iconic line, to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s legendary “Send me location,” catchphrases define figures in and out of the UFC. Similarly, Dustin Poirier’s signature phrase, “Jump the gilly,” has become a fan favorite. However, after Poirier repeated it once again, Dillon Danis, a longtime friend of Conor McGregor, took a shot at him and his advice, adding more fuel to their rivalry in a sport where words hit just as hard as punches.

Dillon Danis, known for his unfiltered nature, has often clashed with Conor McGregor’s past opponents. Given the rivalry between Dustin Poirier and McGregor, it was no surprise that Danis took a shot at Poirier. In a recent X post, Poirier humorously emphasized the importance of guillotine submissions, which prompted a response from Danis.

Wasting no time, he mocked Poirier by pointing out that he has never secured a career finish via guillotine, making light of the situation. He said, “You literally have zero career finishes by guillotine.”

This line has become so popular that it is even used for merchandise. However, Poirier has never won a fight via guillotine. At UFC 299, he attempted multiple guillotine chokes against Benoit Saint-Denis but ultimately secured victory by knocking him out in the second round.
