You didn’t expect Conor McGregor to give Dustin Poirier props for his Fight of the Night win over Dan Hooker at UFC on ESPN 12, did you?

A lot has changed since that night, with McGregor going on to win the UFC featherweight and lightweight titles and Poirier moving up in weight to solidify himself as a top-three UFC lightweight contender.
