UFC 264: Conor McGregor criticized Dustin Poriye for his “lucky win”: “He is Buster Douglas”

Conor McGregor hunted down Dustin Boyle before their pre-match press conference even started on Thursday.

When McGregor and Poirier took to the stage of the Las Vegas event, the 32-year-old Irishman picked up a bottle of Poirier Louisiana chili sauce that was on display. He began to pour the contents of the bottle on the stage, and then rushed to Povaril’s face.

UFC Chairman Dana White and the event staff had to separate the two players.

This is just the beginning of McGregor’s series of insults. Before their second game, he basically avoided trash talking, but at the press conference on Thursday, he did not back down.
