The main event of UFC 257 was a lightweight division blockbuster between the 'Notorious' Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. The fight was a rematch from their first bout in 2014 which was won by McGregor. In an incredible fight, the talented American shocked the combat sports world after his second-round TKO win over Conor McGregor. This win meant that the Louisiana native now has a 1-1 record against McGregor.
The crowd in the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi witnessed the upset, with Poirier who went into the fight as the underdog, flooring McGregor in the second round after a series of strikes followed by a clinical hook to the chin.
McGregor had started the fight strong but Poirier persisted working on the Irishman's leg, and the strategy paid off in the end as the world watched the American pull off a spectacular win.
