UFC 257: Where does Conor McGregor go from here?

The bad news for Conor McGregor fans is that he was knocked out by Dustin Poirier in the second round of their UFC 257 main event in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, early Sunday morning.

The good news for fans of the Irish superstar? Their man immediately recognized he had not been at his best in this fight, understood why and had a plan for making himself better the only way he knows how: by fighting more often.

"It's hard to overcome inactivity over a long period of time," McGregor said after just his third MMA fight since 2016.
