Dustin Poirier stuns Conor McGregor with 2nd-round TKO at UFC 257

Dustin Poirier pulled off a stunner Saturday night, knocking out Conor McGregor in the second round in the main event of UFC 257.

The finish came at 2 minutes 32 seconds.

The fight, a non-title bout contested at 155 pounds, took place inside Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

It marked the second meeting between McGregor (22-5), a former undisputed champion at lightweight, and Poirier (27-6), a former interim lightweight champion. The two met as featherweights in 2014, when McGregor knocked out Poirier just 1:46 into the fight.
