Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will clash again at UFC 257 this weekend in a Fight Island blockbuster to kick off the MMA action in 2021.
The UFC is back in the glamorous setting of Abu Dhabi for three exciting shows, culminating in McGregor vs Poirier 2 on Sunday morning.
Max Holloway destroyed Calvin Kattar on Saturday night in the first UFC event of the new year while welterweight rivals Michael Chiesa and Neil Magny will slug it out on Wednesday evening.
Then, it’ll be the big one as McGregor makes his long-awaited return to the octagon.
McGregor beat Poirier at UFC 178 in September 2014 but both fighters have been through a lot since then.
They are now ready to go at it once more in what promises to be a thriller in the Middle East.
