BT Sport continue to kill the promo game with their “Shorts” series, promoting Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and other fighting events in a different and creative way, interviewing from the athlete and showcasing it through powerful animation.
See previous promotional videos by Leon Edwards and Khabib Nurmagomedov here and here.
The latest program focuses on UFC “champ champ” Conor McGregor, as he prepares to put Dustin Poirier back in the UFC 257 main event on January 23, 2021 on “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi , United Arab Emirates.
The fight is McGregor ‘s first in more than a year as he was last seen knocking down Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 last January. “Notorious” was expected to fight three times in 2020 but the global COVID-19 epidemic disrupted those plans.
The winner of the replacement is expected to win a 155-pound title fight against conventional champion Nurmagomedov or another deserving fighter if “The Eagle” eventually decides to stay.
