Ariel Helwani asked Dustin Poirier about his use of the 'N Word' during the airport incident:
"Growing up where I grew up, speaking like that was a normal thing. I don't talk like that, but in the moment, drunk, I go back to those dark times.
I apologize. I shouldn't have said what I said. I didn't mean it in a racist way at all, but that doesn't matter. That's not something that should be said ever."
