BAD MMA News — Fri, 25 Jun 2021 16:48:51 +0000

Dustin Poirier was able to avenge his loss to Conor McGregor in emphatic fashion. In their first meeting, which took place in 2014, McGregor made quick work of Poirier by stopping him in Round 1. The pair ran things back over six years later in the main event of UFC 257 in January, and things would play out much differently. McGregor stormed out the gate, looking to press the action right off the bat. Both men had their success in Round 1, with McGregor sending Poirier stumbling back with a few shots, and “The Diamond” chopping away with calf kicks. Poirier landed a brief takedown, but McGregor then did a good job of working his way back up.
