‘Missing out’... Full footage of Dustin Poirier Father’s Day arrest emerges

New footage of Dustin Poirier’s highly-publicised arrest has emerged showing him being taken into custody in Atlanta.

Former interim UFC lightweight champion and BMF title contender Poirier was arrested for public intoxication back in June after being removed from a flight. He was released shortly thereafter, and has spoken out publicly about losing sponsorships as a result of what happened.

Would you tune into a trilogy between these two lightweight legends

Fans made the video of his initial meeting with police into a meme, particularly one moment in which he appeared to use a racial slur. Now they have been given considerably more material with almost half an hour of footage released.

New video released by Atlanta Police to YouTube channel Mark Fighting shows much more of what happened during Dustin Poirier’s arrest. He can be seen being taken into custody, and at one point appears to tell police ‘f— the fans’ when it is mentioned that people will one day see the footage.

His challenge to ‘go one-on-one’ with police appears to continue at multiple points throughout the video. He can be seen being put into a cell in one clip before audio of a 911 call is played in which airport staff call for police assistance.

There is another part of the footage where Poirier is brought into a police car and tells officers repeatedly to ‘check my d—‘. He then tells them they are ‘missing out’ by not doing such a check and insists that he is given his wallet and phone.

Poirier has yet to comment on the new video footage.
