Dustin Poirier appeared to be giving the man a high five in a TikTok video before drawing him in and slapping him across the face. Although it wasn’t on the level of Dana White’s Power Slap League, the message was nevertheless received: don’t act disrespectfully with Poirier’s wife.
Dustin Poirier slams Conor McGregor fan
The phrase “Your wife is in my DMs” gained notoriety after Conor McGregor yelled it at Poirier following his third defeat against the native of Louisiana. McGregor had consistently hinted that Poirier’s wife had feelings for him and was contacting him in the days leading up to their trilogy battle.
Conor was on the canvas with a shattered leg then, so the DM line didn’t mean anything. Poirier would come out on top, winning the game and the series 2-1. But he still has to cope with irrational McGregor fans intruding on matters involving his family. And ‘The Diamond’ clearly doesn’t like it.
Poirier and McGregor’s history in UFC
For better or worse, all three of Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor’s fights against each other during their UFC careers have been very exciting. Two of their three matches have been won by “The Diamond,” with the Irishman taking the victory in their first encounter in 2014.
Poirier defeated the two-division champion at UFC 257 in just the second round. McGregor was successfully imprisoned by “The Diamond,” which made it simpler for him to win via knockout. However, the SBG Ireland product utterly failed to counteract the star’s leg kicks, which was an uncharacteristically poor performance from the champ-champ.
At UFC 281, “The Diamond” faced Michael Chandler in his most recent Octagon appearance in a highly anticipated contest. After a challenging and competitive fight that went into the third round, Poirier defeated his opponent by submission at the two-minute mark of the third round.
