The 32-year-old attacked McGregor with various right and lefts before a perfect punch landed on McGregor’s head, taking the former UFC double champion to the ground. Dustin Poirier continued his assault until referee Herb Dean got involved and stopped the bout, giving The Diamond a second-round TKO victory.

Some combined his picture with the now-viral Bernie Sanders meme, which went viral after Joe Biden's presidential inauguration.

While some trolled Conor McGregor by turning him into memes, others praised him for being “absolute class” after the bout as he was seen praising Dustin Poirier at the post-fight interviews. While talking to Jon Anik inside the Octagon, Conor McGregor said that he’s “very happy” for the Diamond, showing interest in facing Poirier in a third bout. While the frustration and disappointment were evident, McGregor took the loss graciously without making excuses.

"His leg kicks were good, my leg was dead and I wasn't as comfortable as I needed to be. I'm gutted, it's a tough one to swallow, I just want to go back to the hotel and chill with my kids and regroup," he added.
