The Ultimate Fighting Championship will turn to two of its premier lightweights when Dustin Poirier rematches Conor McGregor in the UFC 257 main event on Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. McGregor defeated Poirier in 2014, as he put away the American Top Team export with first-round punches at UFC 178 on his way to becoming a two-division champion.

UFC 257 “Poirier vs. McGregor”—which streams to ESPN+ pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT—also features a lightweight co-headliner pairing Dan Hooker with Michael Chandler, a flyweight clash pitting Jessica Eye against Joanne Calderwood, a strawweight affair matching Marina Rodriguez with Amanda Ribas and a middleweight tilt slotting Andrew Sanchez opposite Makhmud Muradov. ESPN (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT) and UFC Fight Pass (7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT) are scheduled to share coverage of the undercard, the six-fight slate of prelims anchored by a catchweight showdown between Matt Frevola and Arman Tsarukyan.
