Dustin Poirier Wins UFC 264 Main Event:
Might be a fitting irony that McGregor vs. Poirier 3 ended by the way of another controversial first-round finish.
What is certain is that Poirier will challenge Charles Oliveira for the lightweight title following his first-round victory, ruled a technical knockout by doctor’s stoppage. What awaits McGregor is a period of rehabilitation following surgery Sunday for what UFC President Dana White said was a broken lower tibia.
It is also a certainty that Dana White will use Connor McGregor’s “Insults And School Bullying Tactics” to sell his next fight because at this stage in his career, only that type of “Cult-Fan” base will be the only ones interested in seeing McGregor in the octagon.
Dustin Poirier has already beaten him twice in a row and frankly putting himself through the stress of having to always be the hero who has to defend the honor of every “Bullying Victim” out there has to be tiresome.
The UFC honored him in year 2020, when he won a community award, but it seems that “Good Guys” nowadays only get noticed when they fail lately or have to continuesly have to prove themselves to everyone. Just to remain on the news.
Again! It has to be exhausting!
Part III is written.
