LAS VEGAS \u2014 Dustin Poirier beat Conor McGregor for the second time in six months when McGregor badly injured his left ankle in the closing seconds of the first round at UFC 264 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The fight was stopped after the first-round bell when McGregor (22-6) was unable to continue. The biggest star in mixed martial arts never got up after falling to the canvas following a final-minute blow by Poirier (28-6), who will get the UFC\u2019s next lightweight title shot.<\/p>\n

Poirier said he thought McGregor\u2019s leg broke when he checked one of McGregor\u2019s kicks earlier in the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt something, for sure,\u201d Poirier said. \u201cHe fractured it on one of the kicks at the beginning of the fight, and then he broke it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poirier was largely in control of the opening round, parrying McGregor\u2019s kicks and landing several strikes before getting control over McGregor on the ground. After a long stretch of punches and elbows on the prone McGregor, Poirier knocked him down one last time \u2014 and McGregor\u2019s ankle bent gruesomely as he fell.<\/p>\n

McGregor was furious about the circumstances of his loss before he was carried from the cage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not over!\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n

Poirier stopped McGregor in the second round when they met in Abu Dhabi last January, avenging his first-round knockout loss to McGregor in 2014. Poirier\u2019s clear superiority in the fighters\u2019 second bout made a third showdown seem questionable just six months later, but McGregor demanded the chance to fix his mistakes and Poirier accepted the massive paycheck that comes from sharing a cage with McGregor.<\/p>\n

Instead of taking an easier fight or another boxing match, McGregor wanted another shot at Poirier after getting stopped by strikes for the first time in his MMA career. He claimed he had been distracted by his plans to box Manny Pacquiao this year, and he vowed to devote his full attention to MMA in training camp.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
