R.I.P Nice Conor McGregor: After Conor Mcgregor lost against Dustin Poirier in February 2022, he posted a photo of himself on Instagram with the message, “No more Mr. Nice guy.” It was fantastic news for many UFC fans because McGregor is notorious for verbally bashing his opponents. His ability to fight mentally helped him defeat Jose Aldo, Eddie Alvarez, Chad Mendes, and many other opponents. One of his fans recently posted a tweet remembering the old ‘Nice McGregor.’ Follow Combat News updates with InsideSport.IN

Fan tweets R.I.P Nice Conor McGregor
The fan wrote, “Thinking of this legend today. RIP Nice Conor McGregor, January 2021 – January 2021. When facing Donald Cerrone and Dustin Poirier, the Irishman, known for his loud trash-talking skills, showed a new side by complimenting both opponents rather than destroying them with words. However, many questioned whether McGregor needed to revert to his old Notorious persona after his TKO loss against Poirier in the second match.
Thinking of this legend today ❤️
RIP Nice Conor McGregor

R.I.P Nice McGregor: “No more Mr. Nice guy”
View this post on Instagram
One week before the Instagram post, former UFC welterweight Ben Askren claimed the Irish fighter was less “successful” while being kind to his opponents. He stated, “this Conor is not the same one from five years ago. Along with that, there are other differences. But I believe Conor is less successful without the s**t talk.”

The fact that he done this really proves it’s all an act. He should have stuck to the heel character all the way through, now the cat is out of the bag it just isn’t the same.

Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier
For better or worse, all three of Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor’s fights against each other during their UFC careers have been very exciting. Two of their three matches have been won by Poirier, with the Irishman taking the win in the first encounter in 2014.
At UFC 178, “The Notorious” needed just one round to knock out Poirier, improving his record to 16-2. In 2014, when they were both in their mid-20s, neither boxer faced the other again until 2021.
The Louisiana native prevailed in their second encounter at UFC 257: Poirier vs. McGregor 2 in January 2021. Poirier was able to end the contest after just two rounds. This outcome logically prompted a trilogy match at UFC 264: Poirier vs. McGregor 3 six months later.
Due to a doctor’s halt, the outcome remained the same, with “The Diamond” prevailing in just one round. During the last seconds of the stanza, Conor McGregor sustained a leg injury that would stop the fight.
