Dustin Poirier is now tied for the UFC lightweight knockout record after recording a violent finish at UFC 299 . In the co-main event at Kaseya Center in Miami, Poirier (30-8 MMA, 22-7 UFC) met Benoit Saint Denis’ pressure with accuracy. Despite giving Poirier trouble, Saint Denis (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) ended up on the wrong end of a violent knockout at 2:32 of Round 2. The fight started fast, and held that same pace until the conclusion. After an initial exchange of hard leg kicks, Poirier countered a takedown by jumping on a guillotine choke. The attempt appeared tight initially, but Saint Denis was able to flip over and escape from the hold.
