Check out Dustin Poirier’s hilarious dig at Conor McGregor below:
During the UFC 178 pre-fight press conference, Conor McGregor was asked to give his thoughts on Dustin Poirier. ‘The Notorious’ mocked Poirier’s country background, calling the Louisiana native a “hillbilly.” McGregor further went on to say that Dustin grew up in a circus and probably had a cousin named Cletus.
Watch the entire pre-fight press conference below:
The Irishman’s brash promotional tactics evidently worked wonders. He was able to TKO Poirier in the first frame of their bout. Even ‘The Diamond’ admitted to getting enraged by McGregor’s loud-mouthed persona in the lead-up to their first encounter. In an interview with ESPN in January, Poirier said:
Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier could lock horns for a fourth time
Conor McGregor snapped his left leg in the first round of the UFC 264 main event. The injury resulted in Poirier winning the trilogy bout by way of a doctor’s stoppage.
The inconclusive end to the third fight certainly warrants a fourth bout in order to bring a decisive end to their epic rivalry. During the UFC 264 press conference, UFC president Dana White said that the two gladiators will trade shots down the line again after McGregor makes his recovery.
