The first UFC pay-per-view card of 2021 takes place Saturday. The bout pits former interim lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier, against ex-two division titleholder Conor McGregor. The lightweight scrap headlines the UFC 257 fight card.
Poirier and McGregor met in a 145-pound matchup in 2014. McGregor won that contest by TKO at the 1:46 mark of Round 1. A number of things have changed since these two first met.
Poirier moved up to lightweight after his loss to McGregor. He is 10-2-0-1 at 155 pounds and coming off a unanimous decision win over Dan Hooker. That win came after Khabib Nurmagomedov bested Poirier in a lightweight title unification contest.
