Offended by Conor McGregor during the promotion for the UFC 264, Jolie Poirier, Dustin's wife, had her moment of revenge. After the tragic end of this Saturday's main fight (10), which ended with a serious injury to the Irishman, the American's partner went up to the octagon and showed the middle finger to the injured 'Notório'. The scene attracted attention after the incident.

Last Friday (9), Conor even released images on his social networks suggesting that Jolie had sent private messages to his cell phone. The Irishman, however, subsequently deleted the publication and did not reveal the alleged content.
Unlike the meeting in January, McGregor tried to return to his roots and abused provocations, trying to destabilize the North American. Poirier, however, did not fall into the trap and performed well again against 'Notório'.
In the fight, the Irishman started well, attacking his opponent. Dustin, however, absorbed his rival's attacks well and controlled part of the first round, coming close to a knockout. In the final seconds of the stage, however, tragedy strikes. When trying to land a direct shot, Conor suffered a fracture and ended up being prevented from continuing in the dispute.
With the result, the trilogy ended with two victories for Poirier and one for Conor. The Irishman beat the North American in their first clash, in 2014, when they were still playing at featherweight (up to 65,7kg).
