Justin Gaethje on Poirier’s KO of McGregor: I love ‘seeing a piece of sh-t get put down’

Dustin Poirier’s knockout win over Conor McGregor last weekend at UFC 257 left Justin Gaethje with a smile on his face.

The former two-weight champion McGregor suffered the second defeat of his last three fights when Poirier knocked him out at UFC 257 in Abu Dhabi. Gaethje and McGregor have had their fair share of back and forths in the past, with the Irishman once even threatening to put Gaethje’s “teeth on a f—ing necklace.”

Talking recently to ESPN, Gaethje praised McGregor for his abilities but laughed off calls from his camp for another shot at the title.
