Who Should Conor McGregor Face After Loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264?

Conor McGregor was ravenous for a victory over Dustin Poirier in the UFC 264 main event, but his appetite went unappeased.

The Irishman started fairly strong, but Poirier promptly turned the tables with a takedown and began pouring it on from top position. The pair then returned to their feet, and in the final seconds of the first round, McGregor took an awkward step and seemed to break—or at least severely injure—his ankle.

Moments later, Herb Dean was waving the fight off, giving Poirier a TKO win.

In their respective post-fight interviews with commentator Joe Rogan, the pair differed on what actually happened.
