The UFC returns Saturday night with its first pay-per-view offering of 2021, UFC 257, and the return of the promotion’s biggest star.
UFC 257 takes place at Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi with a main card that airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+
In the main event, former two-division champion Conor McGregor makes his highly anticipated return after one year off to rematch former interim lightweight champ Dustin Poirier. And in the co-headliner, former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler finally makes his UFC debut looking to make a strong first impression against Dan Hooker in a pivotal fight at 155 pounds.
The third episode of “Embedded” follows the big-name stars and more. Here’s the UFC’s description from YouTube:
UFC 257 opponents Dan Hooker and Michael Chandler dive into fight week media, with Hooker calling dibs on a pool float prop. Dustin Poirier goes outdoors for a run, and a suited-up Conor McGregor introduces his son to the art of autographs.
