The man that heckled former UFC champion Dustin Poirier The man that heckled former UFC champion Dustin Poirier

If you’re going to insult a man’s wife, it’s probably best to do that to a man who doesn’t fight in a cage for a living.

But that’s a mistake a poor heckler recently made on UFC fighter Dustin Poirier.

A hacker approached the former champion at a Mardi Gras parade in Louisiana with a sign that said, “Hey Dustin, your wife’s in my DM’s.”

The bearded man holding the sign, who brought a friend to film him, approached Poirer’s car to flash the sign. After Poirer took a moment to grok the sign, he motioned to the stranger and offered him a high five.

The hecker took the bait, and Poirier slammed the trap shut by smacking the heckler in the face with a powerful open fist.

The encounter can be seen below:

The sign, as the New York Post noted, might have been a callback to 2019 when legendary fighter Connor MacGregor snapped a fibula during a fight that medics called.

“Your wife is in my DMs. Hey baby, hit me back up and I’ll chat to you later on,” McGregor said back then. “We’ll be having an afterparty at the Wynn nightclub baby.”

It’s unclear if the heckler needed medical attention for the pain and humiliation.
