Summary
Sunday’s arrest put retired UFC star Dustin Poirier in a Georgia jail on a misdemeanor public drunkenness charge before he was released later that night.
Monday’s court appearance moved the case forward, with Georgia law allowing up to one year in jail or a $1,000 fine if he is convicted.
Poirier, 37, posted “Love you all” and “Working on myself” on Instagram as details of the arrest remained unclear.
The incident comes after Poirier retired with a 30-10 record following back-to-back losses to Islam Makhachev and Max Holloway.
