Fans react to the wild claims of Conor McGregor
One of the fans pointed out how McGregor removed the word “rematch” from the second tweet, as he has lost to Dustin Poirier twice. McGregor and Poirier locked horns for the first time at UFC 178.
Back then, it was McGregor who won the bout via TKO in the very first round. Later, they squared off at UFC 257 and UFC 264, and in both of these fights, the Irishman lost the bout.
I see you corrected it from the rematch one since Dustin’s won twice in rematches. Nice.
