Dustin Poirier was unhinged during his arrest this week, screaming while trying to fight airport employees after being removed from his flight ... in a totally chaotic scene.

The body camera footage was released on Tuesday, and from the moment the recording starts, the 37-year-old former UFC champ was furious.

UPDATE

12:01 PM PT -- Ben Askren is (seemingly) providing some context around the arrest of Poirier, writing on X ... "He was having a good time at the airport. Wrestled some of my friends"

11:42 AM PT -- Dustin seemingly just went to Instagram to address the arrest, keeping it short and sweet, saying ... "Love you all Im working on my self"

It wasn't exactly the Father's Day Dustin Poirier had in mind ... the retired UFC legend was arrested early Sunday evening in Georgia, TMZ Sports has learned.

Poirier, 37, was booked for "Public Drunk" -- a misdemeanor -- at 6:38 PM ... before being released several hours later, a quarter after 10 PM.

It's unclear what led up to Dustin's arrest.
