In a somewhat anti-climactic conclusion to the UFC 264 main event, Dustin Poirier was victorious over Conor McGregor after the Irish superstar was unable to continue after suffering a gruesome broken leg at the end of the first round.
Poirier had largely dominated the fight up to that point outside of an early guillotine attempt from McGregor and there were a few moments during some ground and pound flurries that it appeared the former interim lightweight champion was nearing a finish.
Unfortunately, McGregor’s leg broke before Poirier could get the satisfying stoppage he sought after but he still walks away with a victory that will undoubtedly lead him into a UFC lightweight title fight later this year.
