This has not gone down well with McGregor, who has repeatedly blasted Poirier for celebrating a ‘fluke win’. ‘The Diamond’ argues that he was comfortably winning the fight until it ended and does not see any scenario in which that would have changed. The Lafayette native was also unapologetic about his celebration and stated that McGregor had crossed lines in the buildup for the same.
