Dustin Poirier is the first fighter to finish Conor McGregor with strikes. After McGregor, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion, dominated most of the first round of their UFC 257 main event on Saturday night, Poirier (27-6 MMA, 19-5 UFC) picked up the pace and then ended things in the blink of an eye. Poirier used a left hand to the jaw to setup up a flurry of a finish of McGregor (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) at the 2:32 mark of Round 2 at Etihad Stadium in Abu Dhabi. And with that, the former interim lightweight champ had his revenge. “The goal was to be technical and pick my shots and have a big finish,” Poirier said.
