The American MMA fighter responded by taking a jibe on McGregor allegedly using PEDs and his upcoming Hollywood debut Road House. Responding to this, McGregor said Poirier’s ‘missus‘ would like his upcoming movie. Thus, both fighters have started their back-and-forth once again.

Dustin Poirier not responding to antibiotics

Dustin Poirier is not responding to antibiotics after he contracted the bacterial infection. He is under constant medical observation. The bacterial infection Poirier is suffering from is called Staph Infection or staphylococcus infection; it results from bacteria found on the skin and nose.

The infection is common but had created a life-threatening situation for former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker in 2018. The infection spread to the Australian’s stomach. Fortunately, the fighter recovered completely. Fans hope Dustin Poirier recovers too.
