In September of 2014, Conor McGregor knocked out Dustin Poirier on the main card of UFC 178. It was McGregor’s first appearance on a UFC pay-per-view and the victory marked his ascension as a true contender at featherweight which ultimately launched his career into superstardom. Now, six and a half years later, McGregor will rematch Poirier this Saturday in the main event of UFC 257 and though this time the bout will be contested at lightweight, McGregor’s striking coach Owen Roddy thinks that we’re in for a very similar performance to the first one.
