Former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor is set to make his return to the Octagon in the main event of UFC 257: POIRIER vs. McGREGOR 2 this Saturday in a rematch of his 2014 bout against former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier. In celebration of McGregor’s return, EA SPORTS UFC 4 has dropped an all-new video focused on new content coming to the game.
Headlined by “The Notorious” himself, UFC 4 has added a new version of McGregor into the game, inspired by his first fight with Poirier when the Irish star was making his ascent to global superstardom.
