Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier

McGregor has produced some spectacular finishes, utilizing precision striking and incredible fight IQ. Should he choose to keep fighting after this bout, the UFC can use him to headline against several different opponents. Imagine a fight against other dangerous power punchers like Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler. McGregor could try to win a title in a third weight class against welterweight champion Islam Makhachev, a pupil of his hated rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Any of these potential matchups would bring in big pay-per-view dollars.

He is one of the all-time greats who has changed the way business is done in the UFC. Fight fans around the world will tune in to see if McGregor can have one more vintage performance.

Regardless of the outcome of this next fight, there is hope that McGregor will continue his career of entertaining fights. He brings electricity like no other, and this comeback is huge for International Fight Week, the UFC’s biggest week of the year. McGregor’s return is a massive win for the UFC, bringing unmatched attention, excitement, and star power back to the sport.
