After an intense UFC 264 press conference, Dustin Poirier had a chat with Brett Okamoto, where he shared his experience of the event.

Upon being asked about Conor McGregor's antics at the press conference, 'The Diamond' said:

"I felt like I saw a guy who is unsure of himself, scared and trying to hype himself up. I felt good...I feel like he has to work himself up to be that guy, you know? And I am that guy, I don't have to do that. I know. If he had gotten close enough, he'd have seen it. And that's it, that's just it. I just know who I am, I don't have to be crazy."

Poirier also stated that McGregor's trash talk at the press conference did not work out too well for the Irishman.

"That [trash talk] made him less powerful, I felt. Because he is talking silly stuff about my wife. She's my husband or something, like what the f**k are you even talking about? He shouldn't even be talking about marriages, you know, with the s**t he's out there doing." Dustin Poirier said.
