Few events move the needle as seismically as the sight of Conor McGregor striding into battle and the Irishman returns to capture fight fans' imagination once more with a mouthwatering match-up at UFC 257 this month.
Former foe Dustin Poirier is the man who will be waiting in the opposite corner on January 23 armed with dreams of avenging his 2014 defeat against 'The Notorious'.
With Khabib Nurmagomedov's self-avowed exile seemingly still intact, a shot at the lightweight title remains the lure for the winner of this unmissable main event from Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.
A fitting finale to conclude the UFC's third tenure at the purpose-built facility in the Middle East, UFC 257 also sees a host of thrilling match-ups across a bumper card including lightweight Michael Chandler's promotional bow against Dan Hooker, Jessica Eye versus Scotland's Joanne Calderwood and Hakeem Dawodu vs Shane Burgos among the draws.
