Conor McGregor channeled Tony Montana from Scarface in his first message since losing to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 last night.
The Irishman lost their trilogy bout when he suffered a freakish and horrifying leg break while stepping back towards the cage which forced doctors to stop the action between rounds.
And in the aftermath of the decision, the Irishman didn't seem interested in cooling down, launching a verbal tirade on Poirier after demanding that Bruce Buffer announce the fight as a doctor's stoppage.
He returned to social media this morning with a message quoting Al Pacino's villainous 'Scarface' character, telling his 41million Instagram followers 'you need people like me', under a photo of him being stretchered out of the T-Mobile Arena.
McGregor made some vile comments towards Poirier and his wife Jolie in the immediate aftermath of the bout, calling her a crude name in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.
"I was boxing the ears off him, kicking the legs off him," McGregor said while sitting on the ground unable to walk. "He was doing the usual s**** he dived to close the distance.
"This is not over! If I have to take this outside with him it's on outside I don't give a b*******, there was no check [on a leg kick], there was not one of them I checked."
But what made fans particularly upset was when he reiterated his claim that Poirier's wife Jolie 'slid in his DMs', adding: "Your wife is in my DMs.
"Hey baby, hit me back up I'll chat to you later on, I'll be at the after party; The Wynn night club, you look in bits you h**."
Poirier agreed to take on McGregor for a fourth time, and even offered to accept the Irishman's offer for a street fight on the Las Vegas strip.
“We are going to fight again whether it’s in the octagon or on the sidewalk,” Poirier told reporters at the post-fight press conference.
"You don’t say the stuff he said. My wife is solid as a rock, I’m not worried about that - that’s noise.
"He was saying he was going to kill me; you don’t say stuff like that, that he was going to murder me, you don’t say stuff like that.
"You don’t say stuff about people’s wives either, but I know that that’s zero-chance.
"There is a chance somebody could die. You don’t say that. You don’t wish that on anybody.”
And while Dana White did appear to be keen on making a fourth bout between the pair, which would be the first of its kind in the UFC, he did say that the American's immediate future lies in a world title fight.
Poirier will face Oliveira in the latter part of this year in his latest chance at the undisputed title, which he failed to win last time out against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
