Poirier and McGregor will star in the stellar fight of ufc 257, which will be the second billboard on Dana White’s 2021 calendar. In Mexico the contest will be broadcast by FOX Sports, in the cable and satellite systems.

“I just signed an eight-fight contract with UFC. My plan is to fight eight more times. You know I want to finish that contract I’m doing, fight eight more times. Then we’ll see where we are. I’m not looking at anyone before this. I’m going to fight eight times,” Poirier told This Past Weekend. If we’re talking about strategy, I want us both bleeding, crushing and suffering from the start of the fight. There, we can find out who the real fighter is. That’s what I want. I want to bleed from the first minute of the first round,” Poirier externed.” I want us to be bleeding and dig deep to see who’s the best, I’d like to be there, because there’s no safety net. I want to be there and I know about it. I want to find out if he wants to too,” the American artemarcialist externed. A current number two ranking led by Khabib Nurmagomedov, Poirier has no action in the Octagon since UFC Vegas 4, when he prevailed over Dan Hooker, in one of the best matches of 2020. After that confrontation, he earned the “Fight of The Night” bonus. Dustin Poirier, 31, is a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) paleator from Lafdayette, Lousiana, United States. “The Diamond” as he was nicknamed made his UFC debut on January 1, 2011, with a unanimous decision victory over Josh Grispi, in Las Vegas, Nevada, being his first featherweight bout. He currently holds a 26-6 record and 1 No Contest. Conor McGregor, for his part, returns to the Octagon after a year away. In his last fight, he knocked out Donald Cerrone in ufc star 246.
