The Mac Life shows what a difference 6 years make for Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor will rematch at UFC 257 vs. Dustin Poirier. The pair fought 6 years ago at 145lbs and The Mac Life have posted a comparison photo showing what a difference 10lbs can make. It still remains a mystery how McGregor cut that extra 10lbs to make featherweight given how lean he looks at 155lbs.

Israel Adesanya pleads for a silent night before UFC cards in Abu Dhabi

Middleweight king Israel Adesanya has fought at Fight Island and has asked for the night before the fighters compete to not be interrupted by F1 cars.
