Already this Sunday, the first battle island of 2021 will take place on the “battle island” in Abu Dhabi. UFC UFC 257 pay-per-view tournament, in the main fight of which we will see the former Irish champion of two different weight classes return after a year off. Conorą McGregorą (22-4) and former American weightlifting champion Dustiną Poirier (26-6).
More than six years ago, when these athletes fought for the first time, there was no shortage of insults between them, but now things have changed. Throughout the preparation, C. McGregor praised D. Poirier and didn’t even play any psychological games at weigh-ins, which often knock out opponents for cancer.
C. McGregor was the first to arrive at the official weigh-in, and after that, Poirier stepped on the scales. Ireland decided to await the results of their opponent’s weigh-ins. When it was confirmed that D. Poirier had also successfully lost weight, the Irishman congratulated the opponent.
“Good workers, Dustin,” McGregor said.
Poirier replied: “You too, man.”
Even at the ceremonial weigh-in, when the athletes met face to face for the last time, there were no “dirty” speeches, and Poirier produced his bottle of hot sauce and handed it to McGregor. The Irishman seemed very busy and happy the whole time, and at the end of the weigh-in he ran to his children, because the whole Irish family had come to Abu Dhabi.
“Gorilla mode is on,” McGregor wrote on his Instagram account a few hours ago.
