Khabib Nurmagomedov was one person keeping a close eye on the UFC 264 headliner.

Dustin Poirier won his trilogy with McGregor after earning a first-round TKO win on Saturday night when the latter was unable to continue due to a broken tibia.

Nurmagomedov, of course, notably faced both men, but undoubtedly has more respect for Poirier than he does his old rival in McGregor.

So it wasn’t a surprise to see the former lightweight king celebrate McGregor’s defeat right after while wishing Poirier well at the same time.

“Good always defeats evil. Very happy for @DustinPoirier I hope you will get the belt end of the year”

Nurmagomedov also mocked McGregor for his pre-fight comments of Poirier leaving on a stretcher backfiring on him.

“The way he said it,” Nurmagomedov responded to a post about McGregor leaving on a stretcher.

It will be interesting to see if McGregor finds the time to respond to Nurmagomedov with no love lost between the pair whatsoever.

Things aren’t going to remain cordial between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.

Poirier won the trilogy with McGregor at UFC 264 after earning a first-round TKO win (doctor stoppage) after the latter broke his ankle towards the end of the first round.

It was an anticlimactic way to end the fight even if Poirier looked to be gaining the momentum and McGregor is not happy to end things in that manner.

“I was boxing the bleeding hell off him. Kicking the bleeding leg off him. … This is not over. If we have to take this outside for him, it’s all outside. I don’t give a bollocks.”

With Poirier claiming him checking one of McGregor’s leg kicks which led to the Irishman breaking his ankle, McGregor responded:

“There was no check. There was not one of them that was checked. Your wife is in my DMs, hey baby, hit me back up, I’ll chat with you later on. I’ll be at the afterparty. You little ho, fuck him.”

It’s only a matter of time until the fourth fight is eventually booked between the pair.

What did you think of the fight’s conclusion? Should there be a fourth fight between them?

Dustin Poirier has scored a first round doctor’s stoppage victory over Conor McGregor — who suffered a leg injury at the closing stages of the opening round, after Poirier claimed a prior checked leg kick resulted in an apparent leg break suffered by the Dubliner.

McGregor opens the first round with a multitude of calf kicks of his own, as well as incorporating a couple spinning back kicks to the body. With Poirier responding with some good counters, McGregor clinched and attempted to set up a guillotine.

Surviving the attempt, Poirier began raining down with ground strikes as McGregor landed elbows from the bottom.

As the two return to the feet from the exchanges on the bottom, McGregor fell back onto his own left leg, resulting in a horrific leg injury — subsequently ending the bout.

Below, catch the highlights from the headlining bout.
