Read our privacy policy Conor McGregor has claimed that Dustin Poirier’s loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 269 proved the American “got lucky” against the Irishman in their meetings this year. Seven years after McGregor knocked out Poirier in the first round of a featherweight contest, the pair rematched at lightweight this January, with the “Diamond” winning via second-round knockout. Oliveira won the vacant title in May, following Nurmagomedov’s retirement from mixed martial arts, and his first defence came against Poirier in the main event of UFC 269 on Saturday. The Brazilian submitted Poirier with a rear naked choke in the third round as the “Diamond” once again came up short with the undisputed belt on the line.
