The UFC is back this weekend with its first pay-per-view event of 2021 and it’s a good one in Abu Dhabi that features Conor McGregor making his way back to the Octagon for the first time since last January when he needed just 40 seconds to defeat Donald Cerrone.
This time we’ll see McGregor taking on Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 (which you can order on ESPN+) in a fight that should be pretty darn good. It’s also a rematch, as these two squared off way back in 2014 when McGregor won via TKO in the first round.
