UFC 257 goes down this weekend on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi. In a high stakes main event fight, MMA royalty Conor McGregor faces the often underdog Dustin Poirier, in a lightweight contest.
Considering the fact that he has already beaten Poirier before at UFC 178 in 2014, McGregor has the upper hand going into the fight. The odds are also in his favour, with the majority of the MMA world picking the Irishman to perform the same way as he did the last time.
McGregor started as a sizeable favourite (-240) when the fight was announced, and the odds continue to widen in his favour (-300+). ‘The Notorious’ has promised to make quick work of his opponent on January 23rd.
