Video: The UFC’s countdown to Conor McGregor’s fight this weekend is just class

This is more like a mini-documentary than a promo, but it won’t half have you counting down the seconds until the big one in Vegas this weekend.

This is more like a mini-documentary than a promo, but it won’t half have you counting down the seconds until the big one in Vegas this weekend.

Following his utterly convincing victory over Diego Brandao in Dublin in July, Conor McGregor returns to the Octagon this Saturday night when he takes on Dustin Poirier at UFC 178 in Las Vegas.

Knowing what a star he’s become in his brief career to date, the UFC have been keen to promote the Dubliner at every opportunity and they’ve outdone themselves with this look-ahead to his bout in Sin City on Saturday night.

Including interviews with both fighters, footage of them in previous fights and in training leading up to this weekend, it’s just over 13 minutes of quality viewing for all UFC fans and we hope Conor watches it back again and takes some motivation from Poirier calling him a clown and saying that he’s a joke to him.

We’ll see Dustin, we’ll see.
