Dustin Poirier secured arguably two of the biggest wins of his career at UFC 257 and UFC 264. ‘The Diamond’ is now 2-1 against his rival and the sport’s biggest star in Conor McGregor. The fight between the two men ended in a way that no one would have expected, as ‘The Notorious’, who snapped his leg in half, could not continue the fight past the first round.
Prior to the fight, Jake Paul shared videos on social media of him getting a custom chain made for himself. The chain featured a pendant of McGregor knocked out on the canvas following his loss to Poirier in January. Paul labeled it the ‘Sleepy McGregor’ chain and revealed it cost him a whopping $100,000. After ‘The Diamond’s win, Paul said that he would ship the pendant over to Dustin Poirier, as he was more deserving of it.
