Last weekend, the UFC 264 main event between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier ended in a disheartening fashion. In this fight, the Irishman broke his leg and eventually lost the bout via a first-round T/KO. Also, with this vicious loss, McGregor put himself on the receiving end of criticism coming from fans, fighters, and rivals.
