Conor McGregor kicked out at Dustin Poirier as the Irishman ramped up his war of words with his rival ahead of UFC 264, but The Diamond was unfazed by the Irishman's antics.
McGregor, 32, is bidding to avenge his Fight Island defeat to Poirier, also 32, when the pair meet for a third time in Las Vegas on Saturday night, with the Notorious in need of a win having lost two of his last three UFC fights.
The former two-weight world champion was full of pleasantries ahead of their fight in January, but has now regained his edge and has launched a number of stinging remarks towards the Louisianan in the past six months.

And McGregor attempted to get inside his rival's head when they met for the first time since January at their press conference on Thursday.
'You're getting walked like a dog in that octagon on Saturday night!' McGregor exclaimed. 'You're only a little b****. Your wife is your husband. You're only a little b**** of a thing, a silly little hillbilly. Jolie's wife! You little b**** of a thing.'
The audience in attendance in Sin City responded well to McGregor's taunts, but Poirier - who admitted to being rattled by his rival when they met in 2014 - was left unimpressed by McGregor's comments.
