UFC 257 may not have a title on the line, but the main event could lead to another shot at the lightweight champion for the winner. Former interim champ Dustin Poirier (26-6 MMA, 18-5 UFC) takes on former featherweight and lightweight champ Conor McGregor (22-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in the main event. Lightweight titleholder Khabib Nurmagomedov recently told UFC president Dana White that he may be interested in a rematch with the winner – if he has an impressive showing. Both Poirier and McGregor have submission losses to Nurmagomedov in title fights.
