It’s been a while but Conor McGregor is back in the octagon and will be featured on the first pay-per-view event of 2021 when he faces Dustin Poirier tonight from Fight Island.
This will be a rematch from when they fought back in 2014 when Conor McGregor was able to knock out Dustin Poirier in the first round of action. Since then, McGregor has boxed Floyd Mayweather and acquired massive wealth but if you think he’s taking this fight lightly, you should watch some of his training videos, the guy is ripped coming into this fight.
We have an absolutely stacked card tonight and this should be a good one to start the UFC year, below is everything you need to know to follow the action tonight!
