Conor McGregor made sickening threat to get Dustin Poirier in his ‘sleep’ moments after horrific UFC 264 leg break

FOOTAGE has emerged of Conor McGregor threatening to get Dustin Poirier in his ‘sleep’ after their UFC 264 trilogy fight.

The MMA superstar suffered a first-round TKO loss to his old featherweight rival last Sunday after breaking his left leg moments before the end of the first round.

An injured Notorious launched a blistering attack on Poirier and his wife Jolie as he laid against the octagon fence.

And a newly-released video of the aftermath of the main event has shown the Irishman aggressively vowing to get his hands on the former interim lightweight champion.

An irate McGregor roared: “In your sleep, you’re getting it! In your sleep, you’re getting it! In your sleep, you’re getting it!”

As Poirier was interviewed by UFC commentator Joe Rogan, the former two-division champion : “In your sleep, you’re getting it.

“It ain’t over.”

The 32-year-old then told The Diamond: “Be careful what you say, mate.”

Fan favourite Poirier didn’t take kindly to McGregor’s pre or post-fight comments.

He told BT Sport: “He was sitting there on the mat with a broken leg pointing like this (gun to his head) telling me he was going to kill me still.

“Like what are you doing, bro? That’s disgusting, man. I’ll break his other leg.”

McGregor, who has lost four of his last seven octagon outings, successfully underwent surgery on his shattered tibia last night.

In a video on Twitter, he said: “I want to thank all the fans around the world for your messages of support. I hope you all enjoyed the show.

“I want to thank all the fans in attendance at the T-Mobile Arena. 21,800 in attendance. The place was absolutely electric.

“It was a hell of a first round, it would’ve been nice to get into that second round to see what’s what.

“But it is what it is. That’s the nature of the business, a clean break on the tibia and it wasn’t not to be.

“Dustin, you can celebrate that illegitimate win all you want, but you’ve done nothing in there.

“That second round would’ve shown all. Onwards and upwards we go, team

“We dust ourselves off, we build ourselves back, and we come back better than ever.”
