Poirier Doesn't Believe Conor's Excuses.

[Substance Abuse]

After going up 2-1 on Conor McGregor in their trilogy, Poirier appeared on Teddy Atlas' THE FIGHT podcast and states that he is a tired of Conor's excuses as everyone else.



On Conor's excuses:

“Right off the bat, mentally, I just feel like it’s weak,” Poirier said. “It’s weak. It’s excuses, but I’m trying not to read too far into it or go down these days of reading what videos are out and what people are saying because I’m back home with my family. It’s a win on my record. I know I did what I needed to do in my fight, pre-fight, my training camp. I crossed and checked all the boxes I needed to check, gave it my all, and went out there. Like you’re saying, it’s noise.

“Whatever people are gonna say or he’s gonna say, it just it is what it is. I’m healthy, I’m safe, I’m back home, I have another win on my record, and I’m still the No. 1 contender, so those are facts.”

On who McGregor really is:

Asked if he felt that McGregor’s bluster has become essential to his brand, Poirier agreed that much of McGregor’s public persona could be an act, though he wondered what the authentic version of McGregor even looks like at this point.

“I think most of it,” Poirier said. “Ninety percent of it, ninety-five percent of it is. He’s an incredible entertainer that gets people interested in pay-per-views, that gets people interested in whatever product he’s coming out with next. And one of the best promoters that’s ever done it. I’ve never seen a promoter promoting something, lining up the next fight, sitting there holding a broken leg. It’s crazy.”

“Normally, for a second you see a glimpse of the normal person when that bell rings or on an injury like that, there’s a glimpse of that normal person,” he continued. “There was none there. It was the character. And maybe that’s him, I don’t know him personally. Maybe that’s 100 percent him.”

On Conor having possible excuses in place before the fight:

“I can’t say if he did or did not have [an injury],” Poirier said. “You know in your phone, you can save your camera, like a file with pictures? He might have had a file with a bunch of ankle-wrapped up pictures that said ‘Plan B.’”

Poiriers post fight behavior was absolutely disgusting. Lost all respect I had for him and wouldnt listen to anything he says.

No one with a choice believes them.

Some Conor fans seemingly have no choice but to swallow them whole.

At this point, it would be like admitting their own baby is ugly.

I like it that Dustin admits that Conor is better than him at promoting.

And as such admits defeat, cuz we all know that this isn't ultimate fighting, it's ultimate promoting.

Why are people even fighting in the first place? It's for survival. Conor knows that, and Dustin is realizing that.

Dustin "he hit me in the back of the head" Peahead talking about excuses. Rich.

So you read a thread on what Poirier has to say instead???

 

[HNIC215]

It's okay Dustin... nobody takes Conor serious these days -> his stock has plummeted immensely!

The only ones believing his hype or drinking his "kool-aid" are the ones who hope to gain financially from him (like Dana)

and his cum pumping man groupies.

I don't think Conor's behavior is a persona anymore. How great of an actor you have to be to keep a persona when your leg just snapped horribly and you are in incredible pain? I mean if Conor was playing in the post fight interview, he has to be the greatest actor ever. But I think that's his real self now. A bitter man who believed his hype and can't lose.

Conor’s a doofus. He still needs to desperately feed his ego even though he already won the game. It reminds me of that scene in dusk til dawn:

People with their feet flopping around their ankles wouldn't survive very long, generally.

Conor is over.

Spoken like a true Conor nut-riding casual.
