Khabib Nurmagomedov is happy Dustin Poirier prevailed over Conor McGregor at UFC 264.
Nurmagomedov, a former UFC lightweight champion, was keeping a close eye on the trilogy fight between his former opponents, which saw Poirier (28-6 MMA, 20-5 UFC) win by TKO after McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) suffered a leg injury to end the first round at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
It’s no secret “The Eagle” isn’t fond of McGregor, so he reveled in Poirier’s victory (via Twitter):
Good always defeats evil.
Very happy for @DustinPoirier I hope you will get the belt end of the year— khabib nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) July 11, 2021

With the win, Poirier will most likely move on to challenge Charles Oliveira for the lightweight title Nurmagomedov vacated earlier this year.
At this point, it’s clear Nurmagomedov wants him to win.
