How to watch UFC 257 – Live Stream, PPV Online TV channel for Poirier vs. McGregor 2

2021 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for MMA fans, with some exciting UFC bouts confirmed for the New Year – and the headline grabber at this stage is a rematch between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.

The pair last met back in 2014, in a featherweight bout at UFC 178, with McGregor scoring a victory after a technical knockout in the first round.

This time around they face off in a lightweight bout, and former champion Conor McGregor’s next fight will see him start as the favourite against his American opponent, a former interim champion.

It will be the first time the Irishman has competed since he had announced plans to retire from fighting in 2020, while Poirier’s last fight saw him beat Dan Hooker in June.

In addition to the headline bout, there is a vast array of other intriguing contests set to take place on both the main and preliminary cards as well, so it looks like we could have another thrilling evening in store.
