Dustin Poirier Delivers Brutal Knockout Of Conor Mcgregor At Ufc 257

Dustin Poirier made history tonight at UFC 257 by becoming the first fighter to knock out Conor McGregor with a masterful kicking and boxing class in Abu Dhabi.

Poirier got the first knockdown of the contest, although Conor reacted quickly to get up and, glued to the fence, connected The Diamond with his collarbone in the face.

The UFC confirmed again that it is one of the most interesting disciplines in the world due to the impossibility of predicting a fight. The parity between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier cast millions of eyes on the fight that took place in Abu Dhabi and had an impressive outcome: the American defeated the Irishman by KO in the second round with a brilliant finish .

Each tried to dominate during the first round on the terrain that they thought they felt most comfortable with. Standing tall, Conor imposed conditions from a distance with the power and certainty of his fists. He had previously suffered a knockdown from Dustin, which failed to be convincing and was locked for more than a minute with the Irishman and could do little to wear him down. Instead, McGregor managed to land two powerful forehand shots when they were both on their feet.

During the beginning of the second round, the trend intensified: McGregor seemed to dominate the process of the fight to his liking, but the authority behind Poirier’s goals were in charge of signing the outcome to the delirium of the two thousand people who managed to get his entry. to be on the premises in the first UFC fight with the public since the start of the pandemic.

The 32-year-old fighter landed one, two, three and more clean shots in the face of the Irishman who began to stagger, at the same time that he showed some ailment in his legs. The Irishman’s warlike heart pushed him to take out some aimless blows that only opened his guard wider. Dustin took advantage, connected the chin of his eccentric rival and left him lying on the ground. There was no going back .

“His kicks were good. My leg was injured and I was not as comfortable as I needed to be. Of course I will return . That’s what I’ll do. I’m heartbroken, this is hard to swallow I just want to go back to the hotel and relax with my children, ”acknowledged Conor who had had a brilliant last presentation with a KO in 40 seconds against Donald Cowboy Cerrone in January 2020.

The career of one of the best-known mixed martial arts specialists on the planet is now with 22 victories and 5 defeats , counting that in 2016 he was surpassed by Nate Diaz in a remembered event and in 2018 he fell to Khabib Nurmagomedov in a scandalous combat.

The American added another green tick to his statistics with this success at UFC257: he has 27 wins with 13 KOs and 7 submissions . Also, he was defeated 6 times and his last fall was against Khabib in 2019.

As reported by Forbes , The Notorious did a great deal with this presentation: they took a bag of 5 million dollars and they estimated that it will add another 20 million for the Pay Per View . For the North American, the initial figure is 1 million dollars, plus a brief cut in the PPV.
