It may not have ended on quite the electrifying note that fans may have been hoping for, but it’d be hard to say that UFC 264 didn’t deliver. Outside the co-main event, every bout ended inside the distance. Irene Aldana put on one of the best performances of her career against Yana Kunitskaya. Tai Tuivasa did a baker’s dozen of post-victory shoeys. And Dustin Poirier put himself up 2-1 on McGregor in their trilogy headliner.
So, is the UFC really angling to make McGregor vs. Poirier 4 once Conor has recovered? Is it time to get Aldana in another top contender’s bout?
