Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor is supremely confident that he will once again put on a “masterpiece” against Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n

McGregor and Poirier are set to collide for a second time in the main event of UFC 257, which takes place January 24 on Fight Island.<\/p>\n

The pair initially met in a featherweight contest in September of 2014, with the Irish star emerging victorious by way of first round TKO.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor is extremely confident that he will once again get his hand raised against ‘The Diamond’ and has gone as far as to promise fight fans a “masterpiece<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Most recently the Irishman took to Instagram<\/a> where he shared the following photo flaunting his impressive physique.<\/p>\n

“Born for it!”<\/em> – McGregor captioned the photo.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor has not stepped foot inside the Octagon since needing just forty-seconds to KO Donald Cerrone at UFC 246.<\/p>\n

That victory was preceded by a submission loss to undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov<\/a>, which took place at UFC 229 in October of 2018.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dustin Poirier (26-6 MMA) was last seen in action in June of 2020, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Dan Hooker in a “fight of the night” performance. Like McGregor, Poirier’s recent win was preceded by a submission loss to ‘ The Eagle’.<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White has already stated that his intention is to have the winner of Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 2 fight for the lightweight title next.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I fly out there, Khabib is going to be there, too. So, I\u2019m going to meet with Khabib while I\u2019m there,\u201d Dana White said on\u00a0SHOUT! The Buffalo Football podcast on NYup<\/a>. \u201cIn a perfect world, if Conor wins this fight, I would love to see the rematch with him and Khabib. It\u2019s the biggest fight that can be made, and it\u2019s the fight that makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
