Dustin Poirier had a 10-8 round against Conor McGregor

Before ‘The Notorious’ broke his foot, ‘The Diamond’ was dominating the fight. The Louisiana native had McGregor hurt on the feet. Eventually, McGregor closed the distance, but even on the ground, Poirier was dictating the fight.

In the last moments of the round, both fighters got up and exchanged on the feet. However, McGregor was on the canvas after a missed left hand from Poirier. Later, looking at the replays, it showed that McGregor broke his left ankle.

Just after the injury, the first round ended and hence Poirier couldn’t capitalize much. The fight ended with a doctor’s stoppage. Poirier won the fight and leads the trilogy (2-1). Also, the judges had Poirier winning the only round completed by 10-8.

‘The Diamond‘ has recently dismissed a fourth fight with McGregor inside the octagon and had some reality check for the former double champ. However, he is open to fighting him in a boxing ring.
