Poirier will turn 32 years of age on Jan. 19. He is from Lafayette,
Louisiana, which is acceptably in excess of 400 miles from Arlington.
The exstretch champ lost a lightweight title meeting to the undefeated
Khabib Nurmagomedov in September 2019. He weaved back with a predicted
choice achievement over Dan Prostitute in June. Going before that sort
out, McGregor lost by strategy for comfort to Khabib in October 2018.
His part in a predicament among his and Khabibs camps incited a sixmonth
suspension, and he didnt battle again until going toward Cerrone. The
two contenders battle once before in September 2014, when McGregor beat
Poirier by firstround technical knockout. It's a rematch of the fight
which helped set McGregor up for life as an authentic rival in the UFC
featherweight division, and not just an individual with a windbag.
McGregor's first-round fulfillment of Poirier at UFC 178 dispatched him
on a way which included both 145-and 155-pound titles, as he become the
UFC's first simultaneous two-weight-class champion.
