UFC 264: Poirier vs. McGregor 3
July 10 th, 2021 at UFC 264: Poirier vs. McGregor 3 (The Trilogy) ended up with an unexpected manner, with Conor McGregor suffering a debilitating injury to his lower tibia in the closing moments of the opening round. Due to doctor stoppage, the fight was awarded to Dustin Poirier.
Poirier (28-6, 1 NC) looked sharp in the first round, drilling McGregor (22-6) with a vicious array of shots from his ground-and-pound game. McGregor looked to briefly have Poirier in trouble, seeking a risky guillotine submission, but Poirier escaped and then seized control of the round.
It appeared McGregor was in for a long night. Two of the judges awarded the first round, 10-8, in Poirier’s favor, but all McGregor needed was one shot to turn the tide. Unfortunately, the McGregor injury quickly crushed any hopes of witnessing a multi-round classic. Unfortunately for Poirier, the McGregor injury will serve as the focal point of 264, not the stunning first-round offense from Poirier. Last Sat, July 10. 2021 Live at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
