Media Dustin Poirier apologized to Islam after the press conference

[Corrado Soprano]

Dustin just showed a whole lot of weakness by apologizing to Islam after his “motherf*cker” comment. This is a bad sign and the main event is now ruined for me.

Shit post. Dustin's a man and showing confidence and respect. Islam doesn't get American use of pervasive language and thinks mother fucker is a literal term. Not giving a fuck =/= showing strength.

Let's hope his next apology is for putting Mak's lights out & taking his belt.

Yeah, I saw that earlier on Instagram too.
That mofo goes and apologizes for no reason at all.
I have lost faith in him winning by guillotine.

Nope.

Dustin spoke english in an english speaking country. It’s not his responsibility to placate and explain the language to a foreign non-english speaker. Islam is the one who should educate himself. Dustin showed zero confidence back tracking on his words during a faceoff. It was weaker than Joe Rogan & J Cole’s apologies combined.

Whole story is bullshit.

Bath Tub Crew been to America often enough to know MF is one of the most versatile phrases, especially coming from gyms and jock bro culture, not to mention the US cultural entertainment space projected around the world.

If sensitive Islam pretends to not get it -- Fk with him even more when he's fighting the guillotine.

It's pointless to argue with you--your mind is made. And you may not realize how weak and insecure you seem to be coming off right now.

Dustin and Islam are both men of honor. He probably also wants to set an example for his gym and his daughter--I'm assuming you don't have kids?

Zero confidence is Kalib Starnes fighting Nate Quarry. It's Anderson fighting Nunes. Poirier is not built like that

I hope his apology is "Sorry I called you a MF. What I really meant was calling you a POS"

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Stupidest take I keep hearing online. Islam was nothing but respectful and complementary towards Dustin this whole lead up. The only real diss was laughing at Dustin’s guillotine which is literally a meme at this point.

Dustin just doesn’t want to be a hypocrite because he knew the motherfucker means talking about his mom to Islam. Last time someone talked shit to Dustin and his family his leg got broken in half. He don’t want that karma.

Respect to both parties for keeping it civil. If you do something wrong before the fight you can apologize and still have confidence to whoop someone’s ass later.

Islam is huge though so I expect a dub for him tonight. If it goes into the later rounds I like Dustin’s chances

 

[Last Falconry]

dumb thing to apologize for, but whatever. "curse words make me so mad" is one of the lamest things an adult can do. grow up

Weird how the UFC heavily promotes BMF belt, but the MF part alone gets lost in translation

 

[AngryWeasel]

He is just setting him up. When they'll touch gloves he will clarify everything with a good old "son of a bitch".

 

[Joinho10]

You have to be a grade-A loser to think less of Poirier for doing this.

 

[Pharenheit]

Meh save it for after the fight. Screw this passive agressive BS

They bash their skulls in for a living, destroy braincells, shorten their lifespans… But just don’t call them certain words.

I guess in Dagestan a motherfucker is a type of person?

Some people genuinely think this

This was Dustin’s “It’s only business” moment.
