UFC 257 Results: Dustin Poirier Stuns, Finishes Conor McGregor

Dustin Poirier made sure there would be no more talk of a rematch between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Instead, it was Poirier who made the headlines at UFC 257, knocking the former two-division UFC champion out in the main event.

Poirier landed, putting “Notorious” on his back in the second round following a flurry if heavy, heavy shots. 

Despite entering as the underdog, former Bellator champion Michael Chandler left fans in shock with his performance in the co-main event.

Chandler stormed right after Dan Hooker, finishing him inside of the first round. The 34-year-old has now won three consecutive fights and six of seven overall, but is more importantly 1-0 in the UFC.

He celebrated with a perfect leap off the cage as the fans went crazy. 

The event was hindered by issues with the stream through ESPN+. Many, both fighters and celebrities, took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with the service throughout the night.

Joanne Calderwood was able to handle Jessica Eye, sweeping the three scorecards for a win. 

Makhmud Muradov stopped Andrew Sanchez with a thrilling third round finish. 

In the pay-per-view opener, Marina Rodriguez destroyed Amanda Ribas, claiming victory a minute into the second round.

Arman Tsarukyan earned himself a one-sided victory over Matt Frevola. The bout was put together at the last minute after issues knocked off the planned opponents for the too. Tsarukyan did miss weight for the contest.

Brad Tavares bested Antonio Carlos Junior and Julianna Pena claimed a third round submission victory over Sara McMann.

Marcin Prachnio kicked off the ESPN and ESPN+ prelims with a decision over Khalil Rountree Jr. in the light heavyweight division.
