“Let’s go, big dog. Let’s go, big dog. What’s up? Buncha hos. Let’s go. Let’s go. (Expleitve) lying (expletive) Yeah, pulled me off the plane, all my boys went to the (expletive) crib. Now, what the (expletive),” Poirier said to a police officer.
After the police officer asked Poirier who he was, he said, “Man, (expletive) you, bro,” before going after an airport worker.
“Man, (expletive) you and (expletive) her and (expletive) her. I’ll fight you right now.
“Yeah, tell ’em. Tell ’em. Come on. ‘Cause it’s gonna be bad, It’s gonna be bad, my (expletive).”
Poirier was arrested by officers at the Atlanta airport. He then had his mugshot taken before he was released.
According to TMZ, faces up to one year in prison if convicted.
After being arrested, Poirier took to his social media to release a short statement about what happened, writing on his Instagram: “Love you all. I’m working on myself.”
The UFC has yet to comment on the arrest, though Poirier is a retired fighter, so they might not release a comment on it.
However, Poirier does work for Paramount+ as he is a crew member of the “Deep Waters” podcast. So we may eventually get a comment from the UFC’s broadcast partner about the incident.
Poirier retired last July following a decision loss to Max Holloway at UFC 318 in his home state of Louisiana. However, he has admitted in the year since then that he has struggled in his transition to being a retired fighter.
After his shocking arrest, hopefully, he gets the help that he needs.
