Not exactly the finish we were hoping for, but an eventful night at UFC 264 nonetheless.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier faced off for the third time last night, but not before a TON of shit talking.
It’s pretty par for the course when you’re trying to hype a fight, but McGregor took it to another level, bringing Poirier’s wife Jolie into the conversation.

Your wife wants to see the hair around my dick and balls bro. See what that’s like. It’s real the message request mate, no trash talk. Man to man, it’s fucked up! I seen your interview with Mike you think it was fake. It’s not.
Have a think on it in the sauna anyway.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) July 9, 2021
So when McGregor snapped his leg at the end of the first round, Jolie Poirier was the LAST person to feel sorry for him.
You gotta love it.

And even after the fight, McGregor was laying on the mat with his leg in two pieces, and he was STILL going on about Poirier’s wife in his DMs.
"This is not over!"
