Two of the main names in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg.), Poirier and McGregor will once again share the Octagon in a clash that could define the first challenger for the UFC belt. Charles of the Bronx. The clash will mark the second fight between the athletes in 2021.

Standouts in the organization, Dustin and Conor faced each other for the first time in 2014, when they were still playing at featherweight (up to 65,7kg). On that occasion, the Irishman got the better of him and overpowered his opponent with a knockout in the first round. The following year, 'Notório' would become linear champion of the division, beating José Aldo in 13 seconds.

Six years passed and Ultimate decided to hold a new fight between the athletes. Now in the lightweight division, the reality was different for both fighters. In the rematch, Poirier showed all his evolution and knocked Conor back, shocking some of the spectators at the UFC 257.

Willing to win again in the under-70,3kg division, something that hasn't happened since 2016, Conor needs to prove that he is still capable of performing at a high level in the division in which he was also champion. 'Notório''s last positive result in the group came in the title fight against Eddie Alvarez, almost five years ago.

Behind only Do Bronx in the category ranking, Poirier may have the second opportunity to try to conquer the absolute top of the division. To do this, the American needs to prove himself, again, against McGregor.
