Conor McGregor claims Dustin Poirier "didn't know where he was" after fight

Dustin Poirier had the last laugh against Conor McGregor in their trilogy clash, but the Irishman has claimed his rival "didn't know where he was" after the fight.

Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor broke his tibia at the end of the first round against Poirier last July and has been sidelined ever since. It marked McGregor's second defeat to Poirier having been knocked out by the American earlier that year, with their rematch taking place seven years after the rivals first met in the UFC.

Official fight stats show that Poirier landed more significant strikes than McGregor in their trilogy fight, although McGregor has claimed that the fight was going his way before he broke his leg. "He was in space the last fight, he didn't know where he was when giving his speeches and interviews. That fight was going only one way. I had the quad chewed up," McGregor wrote.
