The feud between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier escalated in a big way Monday morning.
The Irish-born sensation and Poirier have traded some shots after the latter claimed McGregor never made good on the promise to donate $500,000 to his foundation. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
We thanked him because his team reached out fight week to initiate the process but ghosted us the past 2 months after the fight. My foundation has reached out 3 times since with no reply. We’ve moved past it! We will be announcing our next goal soon! Its a big one???? https://t.co/mtiOFBsd2q

That’s a fun prediction! @TheNotoriousMMA you also predicted a donation to my foundation and you and your team stopped responding after the fight in January.
See you soon.
July 10th Paid In Full!— The Diamond (@DustinPoirier) April 11, 2021
McGregor responded by stating that the money never showed up because Poirier couldn’t provide a plan for the cash.
A donation, not a debt. We’ve been awaiting the plans for the money that never came. I do with all my donations. Know where it’s going dot for dot. Otherwise it goes walking. As is the case with a lot of these foundations, sadly. You took the McG over the belt shows I was right.

Well, the fight is now apparently off. McGregor tweeted late Monday morning, “You’re ripped you inbred hillbilly. Why do you wink with your ears? You f**king brain dead hillbilly. 500k with no plan in place. Ye hang tight. Fool. You must be new to money. The fight is off btw. I’m going to fight someone else on the 10th. Good luck on your old contract kid.”
You’re ripped you inbred hillbilly. Why do you wink with your ears? You fucking brain dead hillbilly. 500k with no plan in place. Ye hang tight. Fool. You must be new to money. The fight is off btw. I’m going to fight someone else on the 10th. Good luck on your old contract kid.

I would pay a lot of money right now to be on the phone with Dana White to hear how this situation is unfolding.
A few hours ago, the July 10th fight looked like it was going to be awesome as hype continued to build. Now, it’s apparently off because McGregor is incredibly upset.
My team does their due diligence to make sure every donation meets the mark. My generosity is known. You will pay with your brain for this attempt at smearing my name. Shooting ass shelling ass bitch. Little bitch kicks from a shell. Good luck when you’re caught. You’re fucked.

Dana White has to smooth over whatever ruffled feathers there might be because this fight damn sure has to happen now. Things have gone way too far to be walked back from the edge at this point.
