Conor McGregor and his two losses against Dustin Poirier
McGregor is in a really tough spot in his career right now. 2021 has not been his year as he ends his campaign with two losses against Dustin Poirier.
Their first fight was a first-round knockout win for McGregor in 2014. However, things didn't go McGregor's way in the rematch as Poirier's leg kicks swung the bout in his favor. He was able to finish Conor McGregor in the second round, leading to a final trilogy fight.
This would be McGregor's worst performance in recent memory as he would go on to convincingly lose the first round and break his leg. The official result was a TKO win for Poirier, but it was evident that Conor couldn't do much damage in the fight even before the injury.
