Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor have fought each other 3 times.
Conor McGregor and Jolie Poirier
Conor McGregor is not holding back in the lead-up to his fight at UFC 264. The Irishman has dragged Dustin Poirier’s wife Jolie Poirier into the beef.
Conor McGregor is back to being the personality UFC fans have known him for. Ahead of his clash against Dustin Poirier in the trilogy fight, McGregor involves his rival’s wife, Jolie Poirier in the drama. The Irishman and Dustin have been trading jabs throughout the entire lead-up to the fight. It all started when Poirier accused Conor of not keeping his promise of donating to his charity. Dustin and his wife run a non-profit organization, Good Fight Foundation.
The Notorious One on Tuesday posted a screenshot of a DM request from Poirier’s wife. The message was hidden and McGregor posted the screenshot directed towards Dustin. McGregor posted the screenshot with no context. The fans went wild in the comments of that tweet.
Did Conor McGregor cross the line?
This is not the first time Conor McGregor used trash-talking as a mind game in a rivalry. Some would suggest the trash-talk at UFC 264 might be soft compared to Conor’s previous outings. Poirier met a very humble, respectful McGregor at UFC 257.
Fans and other neutrals believe that it was wrong for McGregor to get his rival’s wife involved in the drama leading up to the fight. Jolie Poirier and McGregor previously shared a wholesome moment after the previous fight. Jolie went backstage to thank Conor for promising to contribute to their Foundation. This action from the former two-division champ comes off as a surprise to many of the viewers.
During their first meeting, Dustin Poirier fell victim to the Irish superstar’s insults. There is no doubt that the face-offs for UFC 264 will be heated. The two rivals are now tied in their rivalry. The trilogy will decide who comes on top in this legendary battle.
