Set on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, aka Fight Island, Dustin 'The Diamond' Poirier will want revenge after McGregor defeated him with an excellent first-round TKO at UFC 178 all those years ago. A brutal left hook from the then-underdog Dubliner was all it took: the legend was born and within a year The Notorious would be the UFC flyweight title holder on his way to becoming one of the sport's first two-division champions.
