Conor McGregor will return to action at UFC 264
Conor McGregor will be returning to action at UFC 264 in a fight that is almost a must win for him. The Irishman will be hoping to avenge his January loss to Dustin Poirier and get his hand raised in Las Vegas.
At UFC 257, McGregor lost his return fight at lightweight and was knocked out for the first time in his career by Dustin Poirier. Immediately after his loss to 'The Diamond', talk of a third fight between McGregor and Poirier became apparent.
The winner of the main event at UFC 264 is likely to get a shot at the UFC lightweight title at some point in the near future.
