Dustin Piorier got his revenge on Conor McGregor after he ended Conor’s return to the octagon with decision by Technical Knock Out (TKO) in the second round of UFC 257 In Abu Dhabi. It was the first knock-out in McGregor’s career. McGregor came out strong with his usual speed and strength tactic in the first round. But, the second round saw the quick demise of the Irishman. Poirier exacts revenge of his loss to McGregor from 2014 and immediately becomes a top power player in the lightweight division.
After this loss, Twitter went berserk and started trolling Conor McGregor heavily. Many used the famous viral image of Democratic Presidential nominee, Bernie Sanders. Here’s a look at some of the hilarious memes shared on Twitter:
WWE Champion Drew McIntyre also shared a funny meme which triggered some McGregor fans:
McGregor will need to go back to the drawing board after the loss. The former two-division champion said after the fight that the biggest reason for the loss was inactivity and not having the ability to get consistent cage time. That may change now as he hopes to get in at least two more fights before the year is over.
The past two years haven’t been particularly good for the Irishman. He lost an embarrassing encounter with Khabib where he had to submit and now this, his first Knock out. Conor must be looking for opportunities to redeem himself.
