UFC 257
Former UFC double champ, Conor McGregor -- the promotion's biggest box office draw -- returns after a year-long hiatus to rematch No. 2-ranked Lightweight contender, Dustin Poirier, in UFC 257's ESPN+-streamed pay-per-view (PPV) main event, which will take place inside Etihad Arena on "Fight Island" in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. McGregor and Poirier first met at UFC 178 back in Sept. 2014, with "Notorious" scoring a first round technical knockout finish. The winner of the highly-anticipated showdown will likely earn a crack at the 155-pound belt later in the year. We'll stockpile all the real-time UFC 257 updates, odds, start time, tickets, weigh ins, predictions, previews, video highlights, press conferences, winners, losers and much more from "Fight Island" right here before, during and well after the live show concludes.
