To say Dustin Poirier has been on a tear the past six or so years might be an understatement. Since a knockout loss to Conor McGregor in September 2014, Poirier has gone 11-2, and seven of those wins have been finishes. His only losses in that stretch came to Michael Johnson in a surprise upset and all-time great Khabib Nurmagomedov in a title bid – and most would say there’s no shame in that one. Poirier also has nine post-fight bonus awards since that first loss to McGregor, which he avenged in January with a bonus-winning knockout at UFC 257.
