You know it’s a Conor McGregor fight week when a shirtless arrival video is making the news on a Monday. UFC 257 goes down this Saturday night and the alternative stats will be singularly focused this week: Poirier vs. McGregor, the rematch.
It’s been six years, 13 Poirier fights, and eight McGregor MMA fights since these two last shared a locked Octagon for a little less than two minutes. This time, they should each certainly be better hydrated and they both seem to be in incredible shape.
Since alternative stats give more weight to recent performances, it’s kind of nice that both fighters are coming off decisive losses to Khabib Nurmagomedov exactly two bouts ago.
