Introducing Midnight Mania! Conor McGregor continues to make headlines once more.
“The Notorious” has been harassing Dustin Poirier on and off for the past few months, going on wild social media posting sprees attacking his past opponent … and Dustin’s wife. The stuff McGregor has written is so gross we’re not particularly interested in repeating it. This time he took a shot at Poirier’s Good Fight Foundation charity.
McGregor posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “They are scammers, both him and his wife. Beware of these scammers. They are broke.”
After learning that Khabib Nurmagomedov had decided to purchase the shorts worn by Poirier at UFC 302 due to the withdrawal of the charity auction’s winner, McGregor expressed his response.

McGregor jokingly remarked, “#NeverBeen, get the shorts he wore when he quit in the most significant battle of his life.”
This isn’t the first time Conor has trash talked Poirier’s Good Fight foundation, which helps underprivileged families in Dustin’s home state of Louisiana. After their second fight, Mac promised to make a charitable donation of $500,000, only to renege on the offer claiming The Good Fight wasn’t being transparent about where the funds would go.
McGregor eventually donated the money to the Boys & Girls Club of Acadiana in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Poirier hasn’t responded to this latest attack, or many of the previous attacks. He did address McGregor’s regular taunting during a new appearance on The MMA Hour.
“I want to whip his ass,” Poirier declared, as he emphasized that the lines he crossed are irreparable.
The other day, I witnessed him saying something, which seems to be his intention to provoke a reaction from me. He desires me to retaliate or engage in conflict. However, I choose to simply continue with my day. Is it challenging? Absolutely, since I naturally have the urge to respond and initiate a confrontation with him. I desire to do so, but I accept the situation for what it is.

Should UFC rebook Jamahal Hill vs. Khalil Rountree after Rountree’s suspension is up? The fight still makes sense.
