Fans Love Dustin Poirier’s Savage Reply to Conor McGregor’s Midas Touch Claim

Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier

Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier have fought thrice inside the Octagon, two at lightweight and one at featherweight. Despite having fought multiple times, the former two-division champion and the former interim lightweight champion seemed not to have lost animosity. The Irishman’s recent tweet received a savage response from his American counterpart.

“EVERYTHING I TOUCH TURNS TO GOLD!” McGregor tweeted, to which Poirier responded, “Touch that pinky toe,” referencing the toe injury of ‘The Notorious’ that forced him out of his scheduled welterweight bout against Michael Chandler at UFC 303.

The 35-year-old Irishman has a love-hate relationship with fight fans. Hence, most of them have rallied behind the Louisiana native. Despite not having a huge fan base like McGregor, Poirier has garnered respect for his character inside and outside the Octagon.

Fight Fans React to Poireir’s Savage Response to McGregor

McGregor’s tweet and Poirier’s response have already received multi-million views. Most of the fight fans appeared to side with the American, trolling the Irishman. Some of them sided the other way around. Let’s look at some of the responses below.

Most fight fans savagely trolled McGregor, bringing up his losses to Poirier and Khabib Nurmagomedov. Moreover, some even accused the American fighter of stealing the McGregor fight from Michael Chandler. On the other hand, some fans criticized ‘The Diamond’ for not winning the undisputed titles, which McGregor has won in two divisions.

Will Poirier and McGregor fight for a fourth time? The Diamond has already revealed he only has one or two big fights left in him. McGregor, who will turn 36 in a couple of days, also won’t have much longer in the fight game, particularly at lightweight.
