UFC 257’s main-event, which is scheduled to kick-off at 3am (UK time), will see lightweights Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier face-off for a chance to earn themselves a possible rematch against the unbeaten ‘Eagle’.
Despite announcing his retirement at the back end of last year, there is growing excitement that the elite Dagestan wrestler could be tempted to make a shock comeback.
Speaking on UFC’s ‘Lookin For a Fight’ show ahead of the mouth-watering bout, Nurmagomedov, when asked who thinks will get their hand raised on Sunday morning said: “If it’s early, it’s Conor. But third round, number four, I think Dustin can beat this guy!”
