Dustin Poirier reacts to ‘dirtbag’ Conor McGregor suffering injury at UFC 329
UFC fighter Dustin Poirier commented on rival Conor McGregor's recent leg injury during a fight, labeling him a 'dirtbag' while referencing past animosity. The injury occurred early in the match, leading to a swift end to the bout.
Why it matters
The rivalry between these two high-profile athletes remains a major point of interest in the sports entertainment industry, drawing significant fan attention.
Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor have shared the octagon three times and while there’s plenty of mutual respect, that doesn’t mean Poirier is above taking shots at his longtime rival.
McGregor headlined UFC 329 this past Saturday against Max Holloway, but his first fight in five years ended in massive disappointment as he suffered a leg injury that forced the bout to be stopped 69 seconds into Round 1. Fans hoping to see a glimpse of McGregor’s past greatness could only watch in shock as the former two-division champion went down barely having a chance to fight.
Poirier was asked for his thoughts on the contest on the Deep Waters podcast and he didn’t hold back.
