Dustin Poirier is an entirely different fighter in 2020 than he was in 2014. At the time, he was a Featherweight and couldn't reach his potential. He was matched up against Conor McGregor and was caught up in the moment.

It took the Irishman all but 1 minute and 46 seconds of the first round to get a TKO over The Diamond. Poirier has taken major strides since then and is one of the most dangerous contenders in the Lightweight division - winning the Interim Champion by beating Max Holloway and falling just short to Khabib Nurmagomedov after putting on a good fight.

He still awaits a rematch with McGregor.


#3. vs Marcus Brimage - 67 seconds

Marcus Brimage can probably be described as a welcoming mat for certain superstars, unfortunate to say. Having a record of 7-7, Brimage was the one to welcome McGregor to the UFC.

He was his first hurdle and McGregor went right through him, taking just seven seconds over a minute of the first round to finish Brimage and prove to everyone that all the hype coming from Ireland was indeed real.
