Poirier ate some big shots as expected and he landed some of his own in the first round but clearly MacG outstruck him in the first , Poirier landed some good calf kicks also . Round 2 - Conor started well and in fact was winning the round up to the last 20 seconds of the fight when Poirier caught MacG with a right hand and poured on the aggression landing some hard shots stunning and then KOing MacG . The big difference from the first fight is that Poirier could take punches better and all the low calf kicks really took a toll . Make no mistake though Poirier took a lot of hard shots , more than MacG took . I'd like to see fight stats , It seemed that MacG landed close to double the head shots what Poirier landed . Great win by the durable all round complete Poirier
