UFC 264 Fight Between Conor McGregor And Dustin Poirier Is OFF

Conor McGregor claims his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier is OFF, posting a furious tweet to his UFC rival.

McGregor and Poirier were set to run it back for a third time at UFC 264 in Las Vegas on July 10.

However, the Irishman has just posted a tweet saying the fight is OFF and that he's going to face someone else on that date.

He tweeted: "You're ripped you inbred hillbilly. Why do you wink with your ears?

"You f**king brain dead hillbilly. 500k with no plan in place. Ye hang tight. Fool. You must be new to money. The fight is off btw. I'm going to fight someone else on the 10th. Good luck on your old contract kid."

In another tweet, he added: "It's Mardi Gras bitches get your tits out for it."

'The Diamond', who stopped McGregor in their rematch at UFC 257 in January, savagely hit back.

On Poirier accusing him of ghosting on a charity payment, McGregor continued: "My team does their due diligence to make sure every donation meets the mark. My generosity is known.

"You will pay with your brain for this attempt at smearing my name. Shooting ass shelling ass bitch. Little bitch kicks from a shell. Good luck when you're caught. You're f**ked."

The respect shown between McGregor and Poirier ahead of their rematch earlier this year has completely gone ahead of a potential third meeting.

Will they still square off in the summer? Stay tuned.
