Making the Grade: UFC 257: Poirier vs. McGregor 2

By all accounts, UFC 257 will go down as one of the biggest events of the year if not one of the highest selling pay-per-views all time.

The highly anticipated event featured no title fights — although that may have been a mistake, more on that later — but the card did feature the return of Conor McGregor in a rematch against Dustin Poirier. After only competing one time in 2020, McGregor made his return to action on Saturday night with hopes of solidifying himself as the No. 1 contender in the lightweight division while also attempting to pursue a second fight with reigning champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
