During the MMA career with 35 matches, Dustin Poirier received only 2 losses with Knock Out. The most notable of which is the match against Conor McGregor in 2014 when both were still playing in the weight of Featherweight.
More than 6 years later, Poirier revenge McGregor successfully with two consecutive knockout victories in 2021.
Despite winning the absolute victory, Poirier has always considered the former McGregor enemy as one of the most dangerous strikers he ever encountered. “The most terrible fighter I used to clash was Conor McGregor. He was a special individual in MMA. I lost to the Irish boxer in 2014. When he was on the momentum and reached the peak with two UFC champions in two weight classes.” Poirier said on Sportskeeda.
“Although McGregor has twice defeated, I still have to admit that his punch is extremely dangerous.”
In the near future, Dustin Poirier will compete for the UFC championship against Charles Oliveira in UFC 269 scheduled to take place on 11/12. This is the second time Poirier has been in the UFC belt match.
Many rumors say that there will be Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor 4 in the future. Although there is no official information about this 4th rematch, Poirer himself has stated that he is ready to rematch with McGregor at any time. Even the Chairman of the UFC DANA White tournament confirmed that the battle between these two fighters has not ended.
