The full footage is even uglier.
Nearly three months after Dustin Poirier was arrested for public drunkenness at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, an extended, 28-minute police body-camera video has been released, showing everything that happened after "The Diamond" was placed in handcuffs.
The initial footage showed an intoxicated and highly agitated Poirier confronting Delta employees before challenging the responding officer to a fight. When the officer pulled out his taser, Poirier eventually backed down and allowed himself to be arrested without a physical altercation.
At first, Poirier appeared to calm down and even complimented the officer for how he handled the volatile situation. However, the former interim UFC Lightweight champion's mood quickly shifted as officers transported him through the airport police station.
