On Thursday, McGregor confirmed through his official site The Mac Life that he has signed on for a highly-anticipated rematch with Poirier that will headline UFC 257 on Jan. 23.

The announcement comes on the heels of MMA Fighting previously confirming the fight was a done deal for the January date after McGregor had already agreed to the terms of the fight. Now he’s returned his bout agreement to put any doubts to bed and the two will finally get to face off again after first clashing at UFC 178 over six years ago.

I suppose it will end like the first one but Poirier this time will be a lot more tougher.

Surely McGregors objective now is cash, why doesn't he go after one of the you Tubers?

Jake Paul called him out..

Nate Diaz lashed out at Jake Paul with another masterpiece of his own. The kid is going to get smashed so bad, these match-ups will be put in a discussion.

Nah, he will have to wait. The LW division is stacked. I'd say Olivera or Gaejthe will get the next crack
