After Upsetting Conor McGregor recently, Dustin Poirier called out the Irish MMA superstar for never following through on his promise to pay $500,000 to his charity. This led to a whole back-and-forth on Twitter.

Luckily, McGregor was just bluffing on calling off the trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier. Today, Poirier-McGregor 3 was announced for July 10 in Las Vegas.

After all that noise, Dustin Poirier is now apologizing to everyone for taking his beef with Conor McGregor public.
“I am very passionate about my charity as you all know,” Poirier wrote on Twitter. “I jumped the gun and took my private matters between Conor and my foundation public. My mistake, we live, we learn. Spreading positivity and doing good is my goal!
“I feel like I have brought a negative energy, and personal opinions into something I am working so hard on that gives people a reason to cheer and smile. I will take this in stride and continue to fight the Good Fight! New goal coming soon and it is a big one. Thank you to all who is involved and all the supporters who believe in our vision.”

We’ll see if Conor McGregor is as quick to try to put this dispute behind him. Normally, Conor holds long grudges over these types of things.
If I had to guess, we’ll see some more fireworks prior to the McGregor-Poirier trilogy.
