What was said
"When you see the video, it's even worse than that. First of all, I wanna say about that video, credit to that cop, man. He handled that thing as well as you possibly could. There's slurs, it's Poirier like we've never seen him before."
Body camera footage emerged of UFC Hall of Famer Dustin Poirier being arrested for public intoxication at an airport, during which he used homophobic slurs and adopted a fighting stance with police. The incident shocked fans given Poirier's reputation as one of MMA's most respected figures, known for extensive charitable work through his Good Fight Foundation. Poirier has since acknowledged the incident and stated he is working on himself, with hosts viewing it as an isolated incident rather than a pattern.
