Dustin Poirier's wife takes one more dig at UFC star Conor McGregor as war of words rages on

Dustin Poirier's wife has continued her dispute with Conor McGregor by sharing a video of her man dropping the Irishman earlier this year.

Taking to Twitter, Jolie Poirier simply shared the UFC's clip of when Poirier knocked McGregor out in January of 2021.

Jolie tweeted multiple Diamond emojis with the video.

Jolie Poirier gave McGregor the finger in the octagon after her husband beat the Irishman in their trilogy fight with tension between the families boiling over.

McGregor had claimed Dustin's wife was "in his DMs" in the build-up to the clash and created animosity between the two families.

American Poirier will fight for the title against Charles Oliveira this Saturday and said his new opponent is much more "respectful".

Dustin told the media on Wednesday: ""Even during the Conor fights in the build up, I didn’t get too involved in it.

"I don’t care about this stuff anymore. What matters is what I know.

"Even though it was a wild back-and-forth verbal exchange on Saturday night when the belt rang, it's going to be the same result."

He added: "Just as I said before when my child was born into this, I drove my wife to my first fight [when] she didn't own a car.

"She drove me across state borders to Arkansas, and I fought in an arena for rodeo back in 2007, maybe. She is an expert on the game.

"Probably better than some of the people on the card."
