A few weeks ago, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier decided to do some bickering online. It all began when Poirier accused McGregor of “ghosting” him and never following through with the promise of donating to his Good Fight Foundation.
“The Notorious” didn’t take this lightly and threatened to withdraw from their UFC 264 trilogy fight.
The two men eventually sorted things out. “The Diamond” later admitted his mistake, saying he “jumped the gun” by making things public.

If you saw Conor McGregor behind bars recently, you’re certainly mistaken.
A McGregor lookalike was just sentenced to nearly three years in prison after pretending to be the MMA fighter in order to sell drugs.
Mark Nye, a 34-year-old from England, was stopped by police in February after trying to dump illegal narcotics and two cellphones, according to the Irish Post. Nye then told the police in Surrey that his name was Conor, before they found hundreds of “McGregor Enterprise” cards inside his car.
