Dustin Poirier opened the round with low calf kicks, and caught Conor McGregor’s attention. Poirier tried to kick again and McGregor caught the left leg twice in separate instances and forced Poirier to dance on one foot and reconsider his stance.

The southpaw regrouped and Poirier connected with a calf kick, followed with a crisp left hand that crushed the face of McGregor. The Irishman felt the powerful shot and was instantly stunned. Poirier noticed and immediately pounced, landing one left. Then another. Followed by a technical and thudding combination.

A Poirier right hook dropped a dazed McGregor, and Poirier connected with two more unanswered shots before referee Herb Dean stopped the action at the 2:32 mark to give Poirier a win by TKO.

Poirier exacts revenge of his loss to McGregor from 2014 and immediately becomes a top power player in the lightweight division.

Connor isn't getting younger and he has taken too many hits. These things always take a toll.

A new champ will always rise.

connor jus de lose anyhow this days...flexing don take over

its official time for Connor to take a final chill pill and forget about the sport. if not..........

McGregor needs to be more active to return to his very best. Poirier is good too no doubt

McGregor shuld take a bow, he has paid his dues.

Since he was trashed by Khabib Nurmagomedov last year is career has neva bn d same.

Gone is dat his loud-mouthed facade which always ends in premium tears for him.
