The UFC events have been coming thick and fast in 2021, so here is q quick round up from the last couple of weeks<\/p>\n
UFC257<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, for most people the biggest news has been the return to action of Conor McGregor, in his second meet up with Dustin Poirier.\u00a0 Both are different fighters since that meeting in 2014, with Poirier continuing to improve and develop his skill set; and with McGregor having some extended time away from the sport, but seemingly still developing his superstar status.\u00a0 \u00a0Whilst the fight ended before most would have liked, McGregor\u2019s time away didn\u2019t disgrace him and most gave him the first round, and started well into the second.\u00a0 However, Poirier stuck to his game plan and ended McGregor\u2019s comeback with a massive right hook which sent him crumbling to the canvas.\u00a0 So, Poirier marches on, and McGregor says he intends to continue, so both should have some excellent match up\u2019s ahead<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Results from rest of card<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Michael Chandler\u00a0vs.\u00a0Dan Hooker – Chandler def.
