Dustin Poirier knew everyone was overlooking him at Fight Island.<\/p>\n

In the main event of UFC 257, Poirier welcomed Conor McGregor back to the Octagon in a very intriguing bout. It was a rematch six years in the making and one many thought the Irishman would just walk right through Poirier<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Early on in the fight, McGregor did have success and landed a heavy shot that stunned “The Diamond” early. However, Poirier overcame it and started to use calf kicks to slow McGregor down. In the second round, the kicks were too much as the Irishman’s leg went “dead” and Poirier went up top to knock him out.<\/p>\n

Following the win, Poirier took to social media to send a message to all the people who picked McGregor to win on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
