The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to pay-per-view this weekend with UFC 257 at Etihad Arena on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.
Conor McGregor makes his highly-anticipated return to action in a rematch against Dustin Poirier.
The two first met six years ago with McGregor making quick work of Poirier on his rise to the top, and he will be looking to repeat that performance while Poirier hopes to get his revenge and stake his claim to the next lightweight title shot.
In the co-main event, two other top lightweight challengers go head-to-head when Dan Hooker welcomes Michael Chandler to the UFC.
Ahead of the event, the top fighters on the card will join UFC President Dana White on stage for the pre-fight press conference. Knowing Conor McGregor’s style, there will be plenty of fireworks as the men come face-to-face for one of the final times before entering the cage.
You can watch the press conference live below.
