Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier are all set to compete at the UFC 264 event. This fight is going to be the third between the two fighters and is a highly anticipated affair. Leading up to the fight, both individuals have been taking constant shots at each other.

Recently, the UFC 264 pre-fight press conference took place at the T-Mobile Arena. And from the start, we could see that this time around McGregor was fully fired up and wasn’t backing down from anything. As soon as ‘Notorious’ came onto the stage, he grabbed the bottles of Dustin Poirier’s Louisiana Style hot sauce and threw them off the stage.

During the build-up for their UFC 257 clash, both fighters were very respectful towards each other. ‘The Notorious’ had even accepted a bottle of Poirier’s hot sauce. However, this time around, McGregor, who threw it away, explained his actions. ‘The Notorious’ said, “It’s garbage, don’t have the garbage up on my stage. Where’s the Proper 12? the real sauce, The real Irish hot sauce.”
