Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier have fought thrice inside the Octagon, two at lightweight and one at featherweight. Despite having fought multiple times, the former two-division champion and the former interim lightweight champion seemed not to have lost animosity. The Irishman’s recent tweet received a savage response from his American counterpart.
“EVERYTHING I TOUCH TURNS TO GOLD!” McGregor tweeted, to which Poirier responded, “Touch that pinky toe,” referencing the toe injury of ‘The Notorious’ that forced him out of his scheduled welterweight bout against Michael Chandler at UFC 303.
The 35-year-old Irishman has a love-hate relationship with fight fans. Hence, most of them have rallied behind the Louisiana native. Despite not having a huge fan base like McGregor, Poirier has garnered respect for his character inside and outside the Octagon.

Most fight fans savagely trolled McGregor, bringing up his losses to Poirier and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
