...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
By: Shawn Ennis, MMATorch Senior Columnist
Everyone knows about the hype surrounding Conor McGregor, and tonight he validated it. The Irishman baited Poirier for most of the fight, coming forward with his hands down and inviting Poirier to try and take advantage.
While Poirier was able to land a couple of times, it only took one shot by McGregor to initiate the finish. It appeared as though Poirier ducked into a punch that landed behind the ear, which put him down.
McGregor then landed one hammerfist and ended the fight. It was quick, it was decisive, and it was validation for a heck of a lot of hype. Buckle up, people. Conor McGregor isn't going anywhere.
