Dustin Poirier fought Conor McGregor in a trilogy bout when he had the option to go for the lightweight championship. Financially, his decision made all the sense in the world. His fights, against the current biggest draw in combat sports, were some of the highest selling PPV in UFC history. Yet the fans frequently troll him for taking the fight.

‘El Diamanté‘ had an interaction with a fan who tried to mock him for championship losses. Besides, they mentioned McGregor’s bouts as the main source of Poirier’s finances.

Poirier wasn’t in a mood to go off on the fan. Thus, he embraced his comments and gave a sincere answer on what he got from the McGregor bouts.

“Won my family financial freedom,” wrote Poirier.

Poirier frequently interacts with his fans chiefly with the haters more than the ones who support him. In an interview with MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani, the top MMA journalist brought this to Poirier’s attention.

“If I’m a hardcore Poirier fan… I’d be like retweet me instead,” Helwani suggested how his fans perhaps feel about Poirier retweeting and replying to the trolls.

“And I do sometimes… or I’ll directly reply to those guys when I see it. It’s just so easy because my timeline is full of hate,” said Poirier before submitting that now for his training camps he’s using a social media team.

“If on it a few days in a row a lot reading it then I’m really like [retweeting and replying] but a couple of days I’m good,” said Poirier.

Thus, Poirier and his wife are working on minimizing Poirier’s interaction with the trolls. But looking at these tweets from Poirier, it appears they are still in the process of achieving it.

Is Dustin Poirier fighting Colby Covington or Nate Diaz?

The former UFC interim belt winner at 155 lbs has teased a fight with ex 170 lbs interim champion winner. Further, it came after he initially suggested he would never fight ‘Chaos‘. Thus, it appeared the UFC would be jumping on the idea to book this grudge matchup between former ATT teammates. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Then again, Poirier has also expressed locking horns with Nate Diaz. And the Stockton native is eagerly waiting for his final contractual bout with UFC. Even the UFC President, Dana White, showed interest in booking the bout between these two Conor McGregor foes. Yet, there’s no lead on what’s the holdup to this bout.

Some UFC analysts and media members believe the UFC wouldn’t blink an eye to book this matchup only if Diaz re-signs with the promotion. But giving him a favorable matchup on his exit would give him more leverage when it comes to the negotiations.
