Dustin Poirier finished his business with Eddie Alvarez with a cataclysmic flurry of punches, elbows and knee strikes. No one could have expected anything less.
Poirier buried the former Ultimate Fighting Championship and Bellator MMA lightweight titleholder with his blitzkrieg in the second round of their UFC on Fox 30 headliner on Saturday at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta. Alvarez went out on his shield 4:05 into Round 2, unable to keep up with a man five years his junior.
A competitive first round gave way to a wild second, touched off by a pair of attempted guillotine chokes from Poirier.
