​Both fighters were 32 years old, and both were record-breaking MMA fighters, each with a massive fan-base. 

As the results of this match were declared, followers of the tournament took to Twitter to share their opinions on the situation.

While some said McGregor should consider retirement, the others humorously expressed concerns as to whether Poirier would be able to return home safely after snatching victory from the beastly Irishman.
