The UFC has returned to its busy schedule following a three-week break over Christmas.
Right now, the promotion has scheduled weekly events for the foreseeable future and it all started with Max Holloway vs. Calvin Kattar at UFC Fight Island 7 on Jan. 16.
This Saturday, we have what is expected to be the biggest UFC pay-per-view event since Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor (UFC 229) when McGregor returns to face Dustin Poirier in a lightweight clash that is likely to decide who proceeds to fight for the UFC Lightweight Championship.
UFC 257 is a pay-per-view event and can only be watched live on ESPN+.
In February, Kamaru Usman will defend the UFC Welterweight Championship against Gilbert Burns at UFC 258.
And in March, UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya will attempt to secure his second title when he takes on light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259.
