Conor McGregor vowed to "get back" first Dustin Poirier loss after rewatching fight

Conor McGregor vowed to "get back" his knockout loss to Dustin Poirier after rewatching the fight on his phone.

McGregor, 34, was knocked out for the first time in his fighting career when he met Poirier in a rematch at UFC 257 in January 2021. 'Notorious' had success early on but the leg kicks of Poirier started to add up which eventually led to 'The Diamond' stopping his rival in the second round. The fight took place seven years on from McGregor and Poirier's first meeting at UFC 178, which McGregor won by first round knockout.

Footage from McGregor's new Netflix documentary 'McGregor Forever' shows him rewatching the second Poirier fight on a yacht. A deflated McGregor puts his phone down after watching himself be knocked out by Poirier, but the Irishman seemed to be in good hopes as he said: "We'll get it back."
