McGregor earned first-round win when he met Poirier six years ago

Having reversed his June decision to walk away from UFC, McGregor faces his first fight in a year in Saturday’s lightweight bout with Poirier – a man he defeated in the first round when they met in a featherweight clash in September 2014, but who is now an altogether tough prospect.

I’ve been highly impressed, I think the whole business has been highly impressed, after that loss many, many years ago, he rose up, became champion and has given so much back,” McGregor said of his opponent on Friday.
