Nothing feels as good as exacting a little revenge. Poirier's knockout of McGregor was the perfect way to even things up with the popular Irishman.

Poirier has positioned himself nicely for a shot at the lightweight title. As for McGregor, once he hits the smelling salts for a few days, he needs to regroup and get back to fighting on a regular basis.

McGregor needs badly to string a few wins together.
