Morning Report: Dustin Poirier appealing no-contest ruling so he gets the win bonus he feels he deserves

On Saturday evening at UFC 211, Dustin Poirier was well on his way to the biggest win of his MMA career before some unfortunate circumstances intervened. In his fight with former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, Poirier had won the first round and badly hurt Alvarez in the second round before being kneed illegally in the head multiple times by Alvarez. The fight was stopped as a result of the knees and referee Herb Dean ruled the bout a no-contest.

Yesterday, Poirier went on The Luke Thomas Show where he spoke about the fight, how he felt about his performance, and what happened with the stoppage.
