Adam D Martin - November 10, 2021
UFC superstar Conor McGregor slammed the UFC for a “garbage” promo highlighting his losses to Dustin Poirier ahead of December’s UFC 269. McGregor knocked out Poirier at their first meeting at UFC 178 back in September 2014, but in 2021, he lost twice to his rival. In January at UFC 257, Poirier knocked out McGregor in what was an incredible upset. Then at UFC 264 in July, it was Poirier who once again defeated McGregor to win the trilogy by a score of 2-1. However, the trilogy fight ended with McGregor losing via broken leg. In the months since then, McGregor has made it clear that he does not believe Poirier’s second victory was legitimate. So when the promo video for UFC 269 came out and showed Poirier beating up McGregor, the Irish superstar was not happy about it, and he made sure to let the UFC know just that.
