UFC’s Dustin Poirier
Belligerent During Airport Arrest
… ‘I’ll Fight You Right Now’
Published
Dustin Poirier was unhinged during his arrest this week, screaming while trying to fight airport employees after being removed from his flight … in a totally chaotic scene.
The body camera footage was released on Tuesday, and from the moment the recording starts, the 37-year-old former UFC champ was furious.
“Let’s go, big dog. Let’s go, big dog. What’s up? Buncha hos. Let’s go. Let’s go. F***in’ lying motherf****r. Yeah, pulled me off the plane, all my boys went to the f***in’ crib. Now, what the f***?” Dustin screamed.
In an attempt to talk the agitated fighter down, the official asks him, “Are you Dustin Poirier?”
That didn’t go over well with DP, who responded … “Man, f*** you, bro.”
The airport official again attempted to calm Dustin down — to no avail.
“Man, f*** you and f*** her and f*** her. I’ll fight you right now,” Poirier said, squaring up with the guy, who clearly wanted no part of scrapping with the lightweight legend.
The airport employee called for help … which Dustin overheard, prompting him to say, “Yeah, tell ’em. Tell ’em. Come on. ‘Cause it’s gonna be bad, It’s gonna be bad, my n****.”
But, in a twist, Poirier actually seemed to calm down some, even fistbumping the worker at the end of the tense interaction.
“Pound it, pound it. You did a great job. You did what you could.”
TMZ Sports broke the story. Poirier was arrested shortly before 7 PM on Sunday at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on a “Public Drunk” charge — a misdemeanor.
Dustin was taken to a local jail where he posed for a mugshot … before being released several hours after being booked.
If convicted on the charge, Poirier faces up to one year in jail.
