Former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier defeated former dual division champ, Conor McGregor via TKO (doctor stoppage) in Round 1 in the headliner of UFC 264. Many pundits and fans gave their opinion on the result including a certain Colby Covington, who termed the decision as a fluke.
McGregor and Poirier head-to-head fought for the third time in their career and the second time this year. This match had an intense build-up unlike the previous one.
In the first round, it was all even initially. Both lightweight behemoths traded punches and kicks. Some counter punching and failed guillotine attempt later, McGregor saw his left ankle cracking just a few moments away from the end of the round.

Poirier took advantage and landed few blows before the bell rang. After the round, it was clear he won’t be able to continue further and thus Poirier won via TKO (doctor stoppage).
Talking about the same in an interview, former UFC interim welterweight champion, Covington, lashed out at Poirier. He said, “He’s out there struggling in front of Conor’s face. Obviously, it’s a fluke man. Conor broke his leg, and it was a fluke, fluke decision ending, you know.”
