[autotag]Dustin Poirier[/autotag] added a feat to his resume that can never be taken away Saturday when he handed Conor McGregor his first knockout loss in MMA to close out the UFC 257 main event.
Poirier (27-6 MMA, 19-5 UFC), a former interim lightweight champion, put together a brilliant strategy to set up a second-round TKO of McGregor (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) at Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. With the performance, he avenged a key career loss to McGregor and proved he’s likely the top fighter in his division with Khabib Nurmagomedov absent from the scene.
Moments don’t get much bigger in the fight game than what Poirier accomplished at UFC 257. So how does he proceed going forward? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future coming out of his victory in the rematch with McGregor.
