As you can imagine, a lot of McGregor’s biggest critics took great comfort in seeing this play out in the way it did, mainly because of the controversies he’s been involved in away from mixed martial arts.

Dustin Poirier, who has had a heated rivalry with McGregor for many years now, had the following to say on the matter.

Poirier has no sympathy for McGregor

“It couldn’t have happened to a better guy,” Poirier said on Deep Waters. “That injury couldn’t have happened to a better guy. I saw earlier this week, he said, ‘Karma is a mirror,’ and it definitely is. This guy is a dirtbag. I don’t know if it was nervous energy. I don’t know why he would start a fight like that. They’re saying this was planned to start the fight, like training to open the fight like that with this jump kick. But I just don’t understand why he would. That’s like a Hail Mary. You’re throwing a Hail Mary to start a 25-minute fight. I don’t understand what’s going on with that.”

“He’s not 25 anymore,” Poirier said. “… He’s 37. He hasn’t fought in five years. I haven’t seen the results of the medical scan or anything they’ve done, but if it’s a torn ACL after being away for five years, if it’s an ACL tear, and he’s out another year, the guy is done.”
