The Irish superstar Conor McGregor, the former Champion of UFC's two weights, is a person who has always been famous thanks to the melancholy left punch, super-speed knockout matches and psychological tricks outside the stage.
Now, after a long absence on the stage, McGregor will return to the MMA fans at UFC 257. His opponent is the one who holds the Lightweight Dustin Poirier.
In the previous confrontation with Poirier in Featherweight in 2014, Conor took less than two minutes to defeat the opponent. This time, he also intended to use shorter time.
“The match will end within a minute,” Conor McGregor said.
“I often want to spend more time on the stage, people understand. But my opponent, they can't stand my punch? I punched them, they collapsed, that's it, the game ended.”
“I don't think Dustin will be an exception … If he can do it, it's great, I'm happy, we will have a game. But if it is as my plan, then maybe Dustin Poirier will not be able to over 1 minute.”
Dustin Poirier rematch. Conor McGregor 2 will take place at UFC 257 at dawn on January 24 at Quyet Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
According to what UFC announced, this will be a light -free match, and will be McGregor's first match since the TKO match against Donald Cerrone in January 2020. Conor only UFC has twice since 2016, while Poirier has been upper -8 times and has only added a victory against Dan Hooker after the defeat of the rival at UFC 242.
