For Poirier, the January clash represents a chance at redemption and could catapult him into the running for title fights.

With Dana White consistently hinting that the winner of the Fight Island match will be 'next in line' for a title, the bout has taken on added significance.

You can be sure that most UFC fans will be dreaming of a McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov rematch - should he be coaxed out of retirement - but Poirier can put a spanner in those works if he claims victory over 'Notorious'.

However, with McGregor looking more determined than he ever has, Poirier goes into the Abu Dhabi bout as the overwhelming underdog.

McGregor's last fight lasted just 40 seconds, as he dominated Donald Cerrone to claim a straightforward win in 2020.

He will be aiming for a similar sort of performance when he faces Poirier and has already promised the UFC world an MMA 'masterpiece'.

Either way, you can be sure it'll be a more competitive fight than the last and we simply can't wait.
