A lot has changed since Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier fought in 2014 as up-and-comers in their mid-20s.
McGregor has emerged as the biggest star in mixed martial arts. Both captured UFC gold in the years since and have moved up to the lightweight division. And as it stands right now, they re two of the best 155-pound fighters on the planet.
Though McGregor knocked out Poirier in the first round at UFC 178, Saturday s UFC 257 main event in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is a much different matchup than the one that took place seven years ago.
“The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung was on the cusp of a title shot heading into his highly anticipated clash with Brian Ortega. Now he’s back to square one.

The first on each tree was a carbon copy of the “let the fate guide your path” node that allows you to let the game allocate your skill points for you; the second was an actual ability. The Bear tree received the Fight Ready skill, which gives you a full adrenaline slot at the start of every fight. The Wolf tree could unlock Arrow Looter, increasing your chanc
