Review: 2014-09-27, some good single shots between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor but it is not enough to get three stars (UFC Performance of the Night).

I really like McGregor but this time he hit Poirier to the back of the head. I would like to see a rematch
^^^^ STFU. Conor hurt him before that. It was only a matter of time. On to the next.
