The event is headlined by the return of Irish superstar Conor McGregor who is taking on Dustin Poirier - Hooker's last opponent who he lost to by unanimous decision.

And given that this will be McGregor's first appearance inside the Octagon in over a year, demand was certainly high as tickets have already sold out as per the Etihad Arena website on Friday morning.
