Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor brought the excitement that every fight fan loves in their fight.
The showdown served as the main event of the UFC 257 pay-per-view event on Saturday night (January 23, 2021) from Fight Island in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
As seen in the fight, the first round featured Poirier getting a trip takedown within seconds only for McGregor to get back to his feet. They proceeded to clinch and trade shots such as knees and shoulder hits.
Then the second round happened and wow was a statement made by Poirier. Poirier clipped him with follow up shots until finally Conor fell and was extremely dazed.
This was an important contest for both guys. Back in September, the two UFC stars were looking to do a rematch outside of the UFC for charity. Both stars agreed to it. Then Dana White came out and said that he would offer them a fight against each other inside of the UFC. That’s how this fight got made.
Their first fight came back at the UFC 278 pay-per-view event, which saw McGregor score a TKO win in the first round back in September 2014.
