Nurmagomedov, the former UFC's Lightweight Championship, closely watched the trilogy battle between their two old opponents, the final results of Poirier puncher (28-6 MMA, 20-5 UFC) won TKO after McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) flipped the ankle, causing the Herb Dean to decide to stop the match Poirier.
It is not uncommon for the fighter nickname “eagle” Nurmagomedov does not like the name Conor McGregor. Therefore, this puncher was very happy with the victory of Poirier (through the status of the Thai line on Twitter):
“The good always won the evil. Very happy with @dustinpoirier. Hope you will win the championship later this year.”
Up to before the match Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 3, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier have only encountered each other twice. The whole world has expected every hour to come to the third match of these two punches at UFC 264.
Speaking of the evolution of the match Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 3, seems to Poirier is more overwhelming McGregor from the beginning of the match. However, McGregor proved to play quite hard, Poirier launched a series of very strong punches, causing Conor to stagger and fell to the floor. At that moment, Conor seemed to have fractured the ankles.
Poirier foster a few punches, but not enough to defeat Knockout Conor before the first half ended. However, after checking the injury of Conor McGregor, referee Herb Dean decided that Conor's ankle was overturned and he could not continue playing.
With the victory over McGregor, Poirier is likely to challenge Charles Oliveira for the Lightweight Championship that Nurmagomedov was empty earlier this year. Obviously with his status line on his Twitter, Nurmagomedov wants Dustin Poirier to win the championship from Charles Oliveira.
