Conor McGregor will have the opportunity to double-up his win tally against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257, and McGregor is currently leading the betting lines.
McGregor vs. Poirier 2 is a rematch nearly seven years in the making. Oddsmakers currently have "The Notorious" sitting as as -290 to -305 favorite (depending on the sportsbook). This lies on the result of their first fight where McGregor won by TKO in the first round.
Since their first encounter, McGregor has gone on a semi-active 6-2 run. He holds wins over Jose Aldo, Eddie Alvarez, Donald Cerrone and Nate Diaz, among others. Poirier has been far more active than impending opponent, going on a 10-2 (1 NC). In that time, "The Diamond" claimed scalps of Max Holloway, Justin Gaethje, Anthony Pettis, Dan Hooker, Alvarez and more.
UFC 257 takes place at Etihad Arena on UFC Fight Island in Abu Dhabi on January 23. The pay-per-view card is headlined by Poirier vs. McGregor 2. Keep up with Fightful for all your fight night coverage.
