The UFC 257 tournament ended on "Fighter's Island" in Abu Dhabi. The main event of the evening was the rematch between the Irishman Conor McGregor and the American Dustin Poirier. In the second round of the match, the representative of the USA celebrated the victory thanks to the knockout.
Despite the defeat, the Irishman promised that he would "come back" and still enter the "octagon" this year.
"It was said that I was out of combat for a long time, more than a year. Dustin's tricks also influenced. He was good today. But I'll be back. That's all I can say now. Of course, I have to stay active and fight again in 2021," McGregor said in his post-match commentary.
Fighters already met each other in 2014. In the first fight, the Irishman won by knockout in the first round. By the way, last year, McGregor once again announced the end of his career, but returned to the UFC again.
