"We're going on a snow trip in a couple of weeks. My daughter's never seen snow, but she loves the movie Frozen - so we're gonna be singing and building snowmen."
PAYBACK? NO
Despite a loss to McGregor seven years ago, Poirier said this morning's KO win wasn't payback - nor was it a driving force in his win.

"The first time I was a deer in the headlights. This time I was just fighting another man who bleeds like me.
"The goal was to be technical, pick my shots and not brawl at all. Then I had him hurt so I went a little crazy."
