McGregor wiped Poirier out. The final blow by McGregor in the standup had an Ali-like phantom punch quality to it, just brushing the back of his opponent's ducking head. But McGregor had hurt Poirier earlier in the round, so maybe he was already primed to go down.
Before crowning McGregor Aldo's heir, I want to see him face a serious wrestler, like Mendes or Lentz, and see how he reacts to getting taken down.
