Dustin Poirier has beaten Conor McGregor by way of knockout in the second round of their lightweight clash on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.
Boxing great Manny Pacquiao tweeted "Beautiful thing about the fight game, anything can happen! Congrats to @DustinPoirier Huge win! #UFC257"
Poirier came into the bout as an underdog but avenged his loss of six years ago by knocking McGregor out with a flurry of punches in round two of the bout to stun the mixed martial arts world and the 2,000 fans in attendance at the Etihad Arena.
For Poirier, a second shot at the lightweight title now seems likely, either against Michael Chandler - who put in a sensational performance himself on UFC debut - or against Khabib, if the latter can be coaxed out of retirement.
