UFC 257 is set to take place on Saturday, January 23, 2021, at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, with Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier headlining the event. The pair first met in the octagon in 2014 where McGregor defeated Poirier via TKO in the first round.
The stakes are high for this fight as both the contenders are in the top five of the lightweight division rankings, and a win for either fighter could probably transpire into a title shot.
'The Notorious' is confident that he will make quick work of Poirier by knocking him out inside 60 seconds. However, according to 'The Diamond', all he needs is "one mistake" from McGregor for him to beat the Irishman.
UFC 257 features another exciting lightweight bout between Dan Hooker and promotional debutant Michael Chandler. UFC president Dana White had stated that Khabib Nurmagomedov will be keeping an eye on both the 155-pound fights and possibly come out of retirement if they do something spectacular.
