Dustin Poirier Takes a Dig at Conor McGregor for Disrespectful Comments About His Wife
UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier slams former UFC champion Conor McGregor for talking trash about him and his family.
The rivalry between Conor McGregor, the former two divisional champions, and Dustin Poirier, the former UFC lightweight interim champion, is one of the most entertaining rivalries in the UFC’s lightweight division.
Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier fought thrice in their UFC career, where Mystic Mac won the first bout and Diamond won the other two. The last fight Conor McGregor fought in UFC was against Diamond at UFC 264 pay-per-view.
Dustin Poirier stuck to his game plan from the previous Conor McGregor fight at UFC 264 and targeted McGregor's legs. By the end of round one, Conor McGregor snapped his leg, and the referee had to stop the fight, and Poirier had to stop the fight.
Dustin Poirier issues warning
Even after locking horns thrice, the animosity between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier is the same. A couple of days back, Notorious once again took shots at Dustin Poirier and made some X-rated comments.
Recently, Dustin Poirier made an appearance at MMA Hour Show, where he responded to Conor McGregor talking trash about him and his wife and issued a warning.
Dustin Poirier said, “Dude, he crossed lines you can’t come back from. I want to whip his ass when I see his tweets. He’s trying to bring that out of me. He wants me to fire back.”
