LIVE! Watch UFC 257 Presser With McGregor, Poirier And More Right here

The Conor McGregor Show — already in full #BillionareStrut mode (shirtless, no less) — kicks off this morning (Thurs., Jan. 21, 2021) at 8 a.m. ET from inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. “Notorious” will grace the stage alongside his opponent at UFC 257 this weekend (Sat., Jan. 23, 2021), Dustin Poirier, for the official pay-per-view (PPV) event press conference.

The chances that it begins late are as real as it gets …

Nevertheless, joining McGregor and Poirier — who first met inside the Octagon at UFC 178 back in 2014 (full results here) — will be No. 6-ranked Lightweight contender Dan Hooker, who takes on former Bellator MMA 155-pound kingpin, Michael Chandler, in UFC 257’s co-main event. Of course, UFC President, Dana White, will emcee what is sure to be an entertaining morning of McGregor hijacking the entire promotional festivities, with Proper 12 more than likely making an appearance.

Meanwhile, the over/under on Hooker getting asked questions from the mixed martial arts (MMA) media in attendance? Three.
