Michael Johnson knocks out Dustin Poirier, talks crap over his fallen body By Marc Raimondi

Michael Johnson starched Dustin Poirier and then let him know it.

The UFC lightweight contender knocked out Poirier with a wicked combination at just 1:35 of the first round Saturday night in the main event of UFC Fight Night 94 in Hidalgo, Texas. With doctors tending to Poirier, who was still down, Johnson walked over, made a gesture with his arms and shouted "f*ck you!"

The two talked a lot of trash before this fight in the lead up and almost came to blows Friday at weigh-ins. Johnson feinted like he was coming toward Poirier after the staredown and then Poirier put a finger in his face.

Johnson, though, got the last laugh and elevated himself in the lightweight division with the big knockout. Johnson's striking looked very smooth and he was landing on Poirier even before the combo, culminating with a hard left hand, landed.

He immediately apologized during the post fight show. Said his emotions got the best of him. I give him a pass after the apology.

Anyone got a gif? I looked away.
 
My reaction was slight annoyance. You should have added annoyance as an option.
 
It's a combat sport and they are putting it all out there.

I just didn't think Dustin was "out". But, it was likely going to be over anyways. Early stoppage?
 
Porier called him a "nobody" so I thought it was funny.
 
Is normal

Can't find the taunt pic for nothin :-/
 
Douchey move in my opinion.
 
Dustin touched MJ's face at the weigh in, MJ won the fight, stood over him but then apologized later. Not a big deal and no one will care in like 1 day.

I moreso thought it was retarded how MJ apparently said Conor/Diaz 2 was a sparring match and talked shit about Nate Diaz despite the fact that Nate absolutely humiliated him.
 
Well it is what it is. Not everyone is GSP. Would be boring and robotic if everyone was.
 
Man, i cried a little. Nothing personal about it, but i had two winning parlays that just needed Poirier to win to cash.

13 bucks and 36 bucks. Damn shame.
