Conor McGregor has explained the reasoning for his expletive-filled rant aimed at arch-rival, Dustin Poirier following their UFC 264 trilogy rubber match back in July 2021, claiming he believe his career was over off the back of his fibia and tibula fracture.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC banner, most recently headlined UFC 264 back in July 2021 against Lafayette native, Poirier, suffering a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to the latter, having fractured his left tibia and fibula in the opening round.
In the immediate aftermath of the stoppage defeat, McGregor launched an x-rated and expletive-filled rant in the direction of both Poirier and his wife, Jolie Poirier – even going as far as to gesture gun signs to the pair and insinuating death threats in their direction.
