‘Your Leg Is Broken’- Josh Thomson Ridicules Conor McGregor for Trash Talking Dustin Poirier’s Wife Jolie Poirier

Conor McGregor faced Dustin Poirier at one of the biggest MMA events of the year. ‘Notorious’ and ‘The Diamond’ faced each other for the third time at the UFC 264 main event. Poirier won that fight after McGregor was not able to continue after injuring his leg towards the end of the first round.

Leading up to the fight, both fighters took various shots at each other. With McGregor especially taking it one step further as he took shots at Poirier’s wife as well. Even after the fight had ended, McGregor continuously took shots at Poirier during the post-fight interview.

Many people found this behavior of ‘Notorious’ a bit too much and felt that he went a bit overboard. One person who believes the same was former MMA fighter Josh ‘The Punk’ Thomson. During his latest podcast, Thomson talked about the same.

“I thought he even at the very end, he just went overboard with your wife was in my DM’s comments. And I’m like you sound bitter, and I understand you lost. I understand something happened that you had no control over, the leg kick whatever. If he checked, I don’t even know. But regardless, your leg is broken, your ankle is broken and both bones are broken by the way, not 1.”
