Conor McGregor continues to be taking any alternative to poke and prod at his previous rival, Dustin Poirier.
UFC 303 battle week is right here and McGregor and his would-be opponent, Michael Chandler, have stopped speaking about one another. Whereas Chandler not too long ago appeared to show his consideration to the Baddest Motherf*cker (BMF) champion, Max Holloway, McGregor went on the assault towards “The Diamond” immediately (Tues., June 25, 2024).
McGregor, 35, responded to a clip from an episode of Theo Von’s podcast that featured Poirier speaking a couple of battle he had on Bourbon Road in New Orleans, Louisiana throughout Mardi Gras. This prompted “The Infamous” to get private and embrace Poirier’s spouse, Jolie Poirier, in his now-deleted tweets with an image from the pair’s first battle at UFC 178 in September 2014.
“So me and my spouse Jolie have been at Mardi Gra this one time and a man came to visit and bent her over a fence like this and was whispering in her ear and I simply noticed crimson [crying laughing emoji],” McGregor tweeted.
“Bent her over and ear f*cked her,” he added. “He was seein crimson bro. Horny crimson hahahaja”
McGregor received that first encounter 10 years in the past, defeating Poirier by way of a primary spherical knockout in below two minutes at Featherweight. Nonetheless, their two fights since then performed out dramatically in another way, as Poirier scored redemption with back-to-back technical knockout wins in 2021. The latter noticed McGregor gruesomely break his leg to halt the motion on the finish of the opening spherical (watch highlights).
Sadly for McGregor, the ship has possible sailed on any hopes of getting redemption as Poirier’s profession may be a wrap. Even when he does stick round, he’s let or not it’s identified he isn’t curious about combating the previous UFC Featherweight and Light-weight champion a fourth time.
