‘The Richest and Baddest of Them All’ – Conor McGregor Makes a Huge Claim Despite the Loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264

Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier faced each other in one of the most anticipated MMA fights of the year at UFC 264. This fight was the 3rd between the two, with Poirier winning their most recent clash at UFC 257. Therefore, with the score settled at 1-1 people were highly excited to watch how the trilogy ends.

Both the earlier fights between Poirier and ‘Notorious’ had ended in a TKO. Therefore, people expected the same result from this fight. The start of the fight did not disappoint as both fighters got into the action straight away. Ultimately Poirier was successful in getting McGregor off his feet and started to dominate.

Both fighters eventually made it to their feet towards the end of the first round. However, then something totally bizarre happened as McGregor snapped his leg towards the end of the 1st round. The fight could not continue because of doctors’ stoppage and Poirier was deemed the victor.

This visibly upset McGregor, and he even called out Poirier for a 4th fight right then. ‘Notorious clearly believes that Poirier did not deserve the victory and has been constantly claiming the same. The fighter clearly believes he still is the best fighter out there.
