The UFC’s 2021 pay-per-view schedule will kick off on January 23rd, and as you likely know, it will feature one of the biggest names in combat sports, Conor McGregor, fighting Dustin Poirier for a second time.

‘Ready for War’ trailer

After McGregor challenged Poirier to a charity fight a little while ago, eventually, an official fight between the two was set for UFC 257. The bout will mark the second time the lightweight contenders have fought, as back in 2014, McGregor quickly stopped Poirier.

At the time, the fighters were competing in the featherweight division.

Since then, McGregor (22-4) has gone on to win both the featherweight and lightweight titles, while Poirier (26-6) won the interim lightweight crown.

With UFC 256 now in the books, the promotion has shared out the ‘Ready for War’ trailer for UFC 257.
