This is imperative because despite what was clearly a first round domination and better performance by Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor claimed otherwise, insisting that it ain't over yet; somewhat insinuating that he only succumbed to his broken leg and not the fire power of Poirier. ICHEOKU says the leg was definitely broken for a reason, something made it break and it couldn't have broken unless Poirier forced the issue. Poirier even stated as much, that McGregor initially fractured the leg when he blocked his kick at the beginning of their fight and then he leaned on it afterwards which caused it to completely come apart with seconds left to go in their first round.
Conor McGregor was unable to get up afterwards and couldn't continue with the fight. It was obvious too that Dustin Poirier controlled the first round, protected himself very well from McGregor's kicks and landed several of his own kicks on McGregor. He took McGregor to the canvass and landed more punches and threw many elbows on McGregor. He also knocked Mcgregor down again towards the final seconds of their first round before McGregor's lower left finally gave way. So, Dustin Poirier clearly defeated Conor McGregor and the only thing Mcgregor can be furious at is his leg and no one else. When he recovers and still wants to have another go at it, as Dana White has already indicated, there could be a McGregor v Poirier IV and hopefully he will not allow Poirier to break his leg again.
However, ICHEOKU disagrees with UFC President Dana White that there is any particular way of finishing a fight, the reason there is TKO. His sentiments of preferring to watch the two gladiators go all the way or even for a McGregor victory notwithstanding, the fight got finished and it finished in a way some fights do finish, through a TKO, this time by reason of an accidental leg break. The only question now is whether there will fans' fatigue for another Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier encounter; and if not, how soon will Conor McGregor be ready for another showdown with Dustin Poirier. So until then, ICHEOKU says congratulations to Dustin Poirier, the now obvious tamer of the Irish wild cat. ICHEOKU wishes him a quick recovery and yes, the peoples president, President Donald John Trump was at UFC264 as well.
