In a rematch 15 months in the making, Poirier (23-6 MMA, 15-5 UFC) halted Alvarez (29-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) with a second-round TKO to solidify his status as one of the top lightweight contenders in the world. “The Diamond” is unbeaten over his past five fights and is showing improvements with each performance. Prior to Poirier’s win, former champs Jose Aldo (27-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) and Joanna Jedrzejczyk (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) bounced back after consecutive title-fight losses while rising lightweight contender Alexander Hernandez (10-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) got his second UFC victory
