McGregor Leaves Portugal for Fight Island

Several weeks have passed since supporters witnessed Conor McGregor’s training regiment, with the iconic fighter going into secrecy as he prepares for an upcoming rematch against Dustin Poirier. Subconscious warnings were issued to Dustin Poirier & the UFC Roster by Conor McGregor, who displayed his physical prowess after several weeks of training. The media hiatus wasn’t exclusively because of an upcoming fight. It also regarded allegations that McGregor physically assaulted his fiancé, which prompted Conor into isolation in Portugal. Over several weeks McGregor has trained in Algarve & recent photo evidence shows that Conor is looking more robust than ever. For Dustin Poirier, it’ll be a stark reminder that his octagon return won’t be easy.

Conor “Notorious” McGregor is becoming an older fighter on the UFC Roster. His octagon contention is rare compared to previous years, with McGregor fighting once per twelve months. Conor last fought against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in January 2020 before the pandemic began. He’ll return in January 2021 at Fight Island to compete against Dustin Poirier, marking a highly desired rematch between the two. Their first bout was seen in 2014 at UFC 178.

What Each Fighter Bring to the Table

It’ll be a considerably different fight from the last time these two men fought. Both have other foundations in their approach inside the octagon, with Poirier becoming a prominent athlete that became Interim Champion of the lightweight division. Conor McGregor has improved his grappling tenfold while becoming better as sustaining longer rounds. It’ll mean a more vicious & bloody battle between these iconic fighters.

Conor McGregor enters his rematch with Dustin Poirier as a two-division champion, with Dustin Poirier having an exclusive championship belt under his career. Both men have found defeat against Khabib Nurmagomedov. As Nurmagomedov has retired from professional fighting, both men seek to become the newest lightweight champions & overtake Justin Gaethje before 2021 has concluded. It’ll be interesting to see how both these men approach each other six years after the last battling.
