Conor McGregor is not looking past Dustin Poirier, but "The Notorious" definitely had a big picture in mind as he prepared for their UFC 257 main event Saturday on Fight Island. And that big picture includes staying active and eventually fighting for the lightweight belt.
Current champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has made it clear he intends to retire, and it seems a matter of if -- not when -- Nurmagomedov relinquishes the belt, so Saturday's main event has huge title implications.
