In 2014, Conor McGregor managed to easily dispatch of Dustin Poirier, knocking him out in less than two minutes. On Saturday, the two will clash for a second time, this time as bigger, stronger and more developed fighters. The rematch between Poirier and McGregor serves as the lightweight main event of UFC 257 from Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.
Much has changed since the first meeting between the two. McGregor would go on to win world championships at both featherweight and lightweight, retire multiple times and even make a trip to the boxing ring for a mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather, all while becoming one of the biggest sports stars in the world. Poirier, meanwhile, moved to lightweight after the McGregor loss and has gone on a 10-2 run since, including capturing the interim lightweight championship.
