Although the UFC 257 location has yet to be announced, Conor McGregor is dropping STRONG hints that he’s coming to the UAE for a fight.

First, he jumped into the Twitter conversation of an Arabian League footballer and said ‘see you soon’ and then he shared a blatant promo about fights and pool parties to his 3 mill IG followers captioned, ‘The Irish Beast hits the Middle East’.

What we already know: Conor McGregor WILL go head to head with Justin Poirier on January 23. Now, we just need a location!

Posted to McGregor’s own IG page, the Irishman boasts there’ll be 3 fights in a week, pool parties and concerts

UFC is bouncing between Las Vegas and the UAE for fight weeks, so we still don’t know where this one will take place or whether or not fans could attend the actual event, like McGregor mentions in the below pic.

IF the fight goes ahead, it’s worth noting the UAE has been working tirelessly to get to the point that people can live somewhat normally during a pandemic

The success of the UFC and IPL bubbles proves the country can confidently hold international sporting events, thanks to the strict precautions taken by event organisers from the start.
