Revenge Time! Poirier Exacts Revenge on McGregor with Stunning TKO Victory

Rematch Ends with Another Shock Victory for Poirier

Third Fight Scheduled for July 10 in Las Vegas

After months of anticipation, Dustin Poirier has finally exacted his revenge on Conor McGregor with a stunning second-round TKO victory in their highly anticipated rematch. The highly-charged fight, billed as UFC 257, took place at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on Saturday, January 23, 2021.

The rematch had been years in the making, with the two fighters first facing off in 2014. McGregor won that fight by first-round knockout, but Poirier had been on a tear since then, winning 10 of his last 11 fights. He came into the rematch as a slight underdog, and he proved that the oddsmakers were wrong.
