Recent body cam footage shows UFC’s Dustin Poirier entering into a heated altercation with a police officer before his arrest.<\/p>\n

Poirier was arrested on Sunday, June 21, at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The body cam footage was released on Tuesday, June 23, and showed Poirier seemingly in an intoxicated state.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s go, big dog. Let’s go, big dog. What’s up? Buncha h**s. 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***?\u201d Dustin screamed on the airport official.<\/p>\n

The officer then asked the UFC champion, \u201cAre you Dustin Poirier?\u201d<\/p>\n

Poirier seemingly got more agitated and responded: \u201cMan, f*** you, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the officer began to calm Poirier down, it didn’t work, and he began to enter a fighting pose against the officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, f*** you and f*** her and f*** her. I’ll fight you immediately,\u201d Poirier said. <\/p>\n

An airport worker overheard the disagreement and reached out to the officer and Poirier for support. The lightweight legend reacted in a more calm tone, \u201cYeah, tell ’em. Tell ’em. Come on. \u2018Cause it’s gonna be bad, It’s gonna be bad, my n****.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then told the airport worker, \u201cPound it, pound it. You probably did an ideal job. You probably did what you may.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poirier was later booked on Sunday into the Clayton County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of public drunkenness around 6:38 p.m. ET. The UFC star was in a holding cell for a number of hours after which was released on bail later that evening. <\/p>\n

On Monday, June 22, he took to social media to speak to fans concerning the incident.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cLove you all I’m working on my self,\u201d Poirier wrote on his Instagram Story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
