UFC 257 is a fitting event to serve as the first pay-per-view of 2021. It’s taking place at the newly built Etihad Arena on UFC Fight Island and headlining the main card is a lightweight rematch between Conor “The Notorious� McGregor (22-4) and Dustin “The Diamond� Poirier (26-6), who have not faced each other since their first encounter at UFC 178 in September 2014. McGregor took the victory there, stopping Poirier via TKO in the first round. More than six years have passed since then and Poirier now sits at number two on the UFC lightweight roster and fans are eager to see which of these top-ranked combatants will emerge victorious this time around. Although this headliner isn’t putting a championship belt on the line, the winner will almost certainly get a shot at the lightweight title for their next fight.
