McGregor vs Poirier 2: the Road to the Rematch

Posted on January 18, 2021 by Oleg

When Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier met in the Octagon for the first time in September 2014, the two fighters were at a very different point in their careers compared to where they’re at now. McGregor has gone on to become the biggest star in the UFC history, to hold championship titles in featherweight and lightweight division, and to have a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather. Poirier has also gone up in weight, held the interim lightweight title, and faced many of the same opponents as Conor. Both fighters lost twice since their first encounter. Both have had their ups and downs in the cage and outside of it. So now here we are 6 years and 21 combined MMA bouts later – with McGregor and Poirier scheduled for a rematch on January 23rd 2020 in Abu Dhabi. Let’s take a look at 10 moments along the way that brought us here:

Poirier vs. McGregor 2: Does the Advantage Now Lie with The Diamond?

Posted on December 7, 2020 by A. J. Riot

On January 23rd, 2021, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will meet in the cage for the second time in their professional careers. At the main event of UFC 257, the lightweight contenders will battle for superiority on their paths back to a 155-pound title shot. Having won the first fight between the pair at UFC 178, many believe that the Notorious is the favorite to triumph in their upcoming highly-anticipated bout. However, few can argue that The Diamond hasn’t learned from his defeat to the Irishman back in September 2014. So, let’s consider whether Poirier is being overlooked ahead of UFC 257.

Poirier’s Record Showcases Undeniable Improvements

Following his loss to McGregor as a featherweight, the five-foot-nine American has reinvented himself as a lightweight. After being stopped by the Irishman in the first round of their initial match-up, Poirier has only lost twice since then. At UFC Fight Night: Poirier vs. Johnson in September 2016, Michael Johnson knocked out The Diamond, before the Louisiana-born fighter suffered a third-round submission loss at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 242, as per his official fight record.

Although he’s yet to get his hands on the lightweight belt, the former 155-pound interim champion has got several notable wins over elite competitors. To date, Poirier has beaten Anthony Pettis and Eddie Alvarez, who previously held the division’s title, as well as Dan Hooker, Justin Gaethje, and Max Holloway.
