Dustin Poirier won his UFC 264 showdown with Conor McGregor via doctor stoppage, and despite the injury to his opponent, he has no sympathy for the Irishman.
After being declared the winner, Poirier didn't hold back in his comments about McGregor. He also called him out for his dirty strategy during the fight, especially when doing his up-kicks. The Diamond also made sure to remind The Notorious of his antics before their UFC 264 fight, with Conor saying he'd “murder” him and even using Poirier's wife in his trash talk:
"He fractured it on one of the checks. I felt it."
"This guy is a dirtbag, man."@DustinPoirier believes McGregor's injury was due to a checked kick.

Of course, McGregor didn't like the message at all and was enraged after hearing Poirier's remarks. In response, the Dublin native issued a challenge to fight the American Mixed Martial Artist again — even outside the Octagon. Continuing his disrespectful antics, though, Conor brought up Poirier's wife once again:
“I was boxing the bleeding head off him, kicking the bleeding leg off him. This is not over. If I have to take him outside…,” McGregor exclaimed as Poirier exits the arena following his UFC 264 win. “Your wife is in my DMs.”

At the end of the day, though, Dustin Poirier took the win in UFC 264 and Conor McGregor cannot do anything about it. After all, he wasn't able to walk the talk and ended up on the floor.
It is still unknown if there will be a Part 4 to extend the trilogy, but Poirier has all the bragging rights now after winning their two fights this 2021.
