Dustin Poirier:How's everyone doing tonight? I'd like to start off by thanking Rory MacDonald for taking the fight. Typically I believe everyone should work their way up through the rankings, but somehow everyone ranked was booked or didn't want the fight. So props to Rory for stepping up to catch this ass whooping. Any questions?

Hey Dustin, ManMMA here. Just wanted your thoughts on this comment, by you, just now: but somehow everyone ranked was booked or didn't want the fight. As you know, ManMMA offered you a ranked fighter, in Khabib, and you yourself "didn't want the fight". Please clarify for our hard-working PPV-buyers why you seem to be talking down to fighters who turn down fights and don't want to work their way up the rankings, but you yourself turned down a fight, and against a higher-ranked opponent as well. Not to mention, wrongfully claimed "everyone ranked was booked". Care to comment?

Other than that we have no interest in fighting each other. It wasn't just me turning down that fight. Khabib didn't want it either, and neither did my team. As for the rest of the ranked fighters, I was open to fighting anyone, but Rory has talked shit in the past, he's got momentum behind him, and the fans are interested in the fight. The only other fighters we were offered were guys who only had one win. I was willing to wait for a closer ranked opponent, but the stars aligned and I get to get back in the win column against Rory.

A screen crackles to life to Dustin's right. Rory MacDonald: Oh heeyyy... Just finished my workout and couldn't help but over hear you "Thanking me" for taking this fight. ...Thank me? No. Thank you. Your boy, Khabib, had the sense to step aside to let the REAL champion face BJ, and he failed... Twice. Now his "brother" is stepping up to the Canadian Psycho, not only to try and squash Khabib's failures, but also to stroke himself and challenge an "unranked" fighter that his own "brother" knew he couldn't beat either... Brilliant strategy. The face of the Welterweight division is right here. Your buddy Khabib knows it... You're just fucking stupid.

*Poirier stands from his seat, and pulls the cord on the monitor.*
Poirier: Now that that nonsense is over... anyone else?

Ariel Helwani: Dustin, over here. The last time Rory called you out, you wanted nothing to do with the fight. You claimed he needed to work his way up the rankings, but now you have accepted the fight. What made you change your mind?

Poirier:I still believe he should work his way up the rankings, but it's a different situation now. I'm coming off a loss, and there weren't very many fights available, and I need a paycheck. Seems like the right time to shut him up and get back in the win column.

You are coming off a loss and you DO obviously need a paycheck... Especially if you want to keep up that '90s rap group style thing you're wearing there. Whereas I beat 2 guys in 2 consecutive cards in the first 2 cards I returned to ManMMA. Normally, 2 wins on consecutive cards, like that, means you get a title shot cuz it's the tournament. I'm undefeated bitch... And no one, but my team, thought I had a prayer against Lawler either... So what do you think I'm going to do to you, Dusty? The same damn thing! Cuz you're taking me lightly Dusthead... Coming out here with your ganasta rap bullshit when you're white AND French, for fuck sakes... Ya fucking poser! ...but please, keep taking me lightly Dusty. Cuz I won't be only taking your spot at ManMMA 28... I'll be taking your neck, and your damn paycheck... Since that's all you seem to be worried about!

Rory MacDonald: I can actually answer that for you, Ariel... cuz Dusty has no fucking clue. He'll be fighting guys like Lawler at the bottom of the card again; where he should be. Period. Clearly, No One planned for me, The Canadian Psycho, to be back in ManMMA... Well, guess what? Here I am! ...and I'm staying. Cuz I don't even give a shit if they make me plow through Usman to get to BJ & the Bear too... or whomever is the champ is at the point. I've come to get what's mine. The results will be the same... Rory MacDonald: ManMMA Welterweight Champion. I like you Ariel, but, if you want something to write about, Dustin "Fake Ass" Poirier ain't it.
