UFC Legend Dustin Poirier: I Lost My Mind. I’ll Never Let It Happen Again.

Where this was said

The Arrest Video, Public Reaction, and Not Looking at the Internet

At 44:35 · chapter starts 41:00

When Bartlett raises the widely-shared arrest video, Poirier confirms he hasn't watched it and has no intention to. He heard his wife start playing it in another room and immediately stopped her. He's reconstructed what happened through descriptions from his wife and a training partner. He deleted all social media from his phone after posting an apology on Instagram and hasn't been back since. Bartlett tells him — for the first time — that the public reaction was largely one of sympathy and understanding, driven partly by viral clips from his Theo Von and Joe Rogan appearances where he openly described being a 'danger to himself' without a goal. Poirier says he appreciates the support but doesn't want to use anything as an excuse for his actions.
