“The Diamond” will be petty if want be.
Dustin Poirier is coming off a fifth-round submission loss to Islam Makhachev at UFC 302 earlier this month (June 1, 2024). Whereas the pay-per-view numbers for UFC 302 haven’t been launched, Poirier’s arch-nemesis Conor McGregor let everybody know (in a now-deleted tweet) that it did a whopping 500,000 buys.
“500k PPV buys carried out. A nothing burger,” McGregor wrote.
MMAMania.com can affirm that UFC 303 was properly on its well past 500k in pre-orders.
Nevertheless, UFC 303 took an enormous hit yesterday as McGregor pulled out of his struggle with Michael Chandler.
Poirier had a tweet locked and loaded when the information broke and exacted revenge on McGregor but once more by merely tweeting “#nothingburger.”
It was an ideal response and doubtless deflated McGregor much more than he already is.
The stress between “The Diamond” and “Infamous” is all the time current as they’ve a storied historical past. McGregor knocked Poirier out at UFC 178 in his first struggle in Las Vegas, after which Poirier knocked McGregor out in 2021 at UFC 257. Of their extremely anticipated trilogy at UFC 264, McGregor broke his leg, which has left him out of motion since July 2021.
