“You should never put your hands on a woman. I don't know the repercussions that come with someone of your stature, running so many businesses and doing something like this. I have no idea. It’s definitely not a good look,” Poirier responded.

Since the video of the attacks was published by the North American website “TMZ”, there has been silence on the part of Endeavor, the company that owns the UFC, and broadcast partners such as the North American “ESPN”. Asked if Dana White should receive some type of sanction, Dustin poirier he also preferred to dodge.

“I'm going to stay out of this, because I would be putting mine on the line. I don’t know what should happen”, declared the North American.
