This Is How Conor McGregor Lost His UFC Trilogy Fight

Irish fighter Conor McGregor suffered a crushing defeat at UFC 264 to Dustin Poirier over the weekend at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

In an anti-climatic finish to an action packed round in the the fight on Saturday, McGregor suffered a broken leg as he stumbled backwards, trapping his foot under himself.

It was a round McGregor conclusively lost, after being outsruck on the feet and wrestled to the ground by American fighter Poirier. The fight had furious pace with high and low kicks, dancing in and out of range for both fighters.

With McGregor having won at featherweight in 2014 and Poirier revenging In Abu Dhabi in January, the third fight had bad blood written all over it.

McGregor was attacking but Poirier looked set to finish the fight early. He came out of a guillotine choke on the mats and rained down punches and elbows to McGregor.

Doctors had to stop the fight after McGregor snapped his leg, chalking up as a win for Poirier and a loss on McGregor's record, his third defeat in his last four fights in the UFC.
