Love him or hate him, there is no denying Conor McGregor’s fights remain to this day the biggest events in MMA.
McGregor will make his return at UFC 257, where he will take on Dustin Poirier in the main event of the Jan. 23 card.
It’s a rematch of the fight which helped put McGregor on the map as a serious contender in the UFC featherweight division, and not just a guy with a big mouth. McGregor’s first-round finish of Poirier at UFC 178 launched him on a path which included both 145- and 155-pound titles, as he become the UFC’s first simultaneous two-weight-class champion.
The victory in the first Poirier fight was important enough that we’ve included it in our list of the biggest in-cage highlights to date for “The Notorious.”
Will he add another one at UFC 257, or will Poirier settle the score? We won’t know the answer to that until Jan. 23. But until then, you can check out McGregor’s biggest moments in the video above.
