Dana White Hopes to Reach a Deal with Nate Diaz in 2021, But Doesn't Count On It

While White has made it clear he doesn't believe Nick Diaz will return after a six-year hiatus, the UFC president now has doubts about Nate Diaz, who is also planning his return in 2021.
Diaz, who last competed at UFC 244, losing to Jorge Masvidal for the coveted BMF belt, remains one of the promotion's biggest stars. A rematch with Masvidal was brewing, as the first fight ended with a doctor's arrest, but it quickly faded away. Instead, Diaz has not been contacted for the past 14 months and is not currently discussing the next fight.
While White hopes Diaz will return to the octagon in 2021, he doesn't know if that will actually happen. It's probably one of those "I'll believe it when I see it"situations.
“I hope he fights this year, " White said during a recent interview with ESPN+. "I hope so." I'd like to see him fight. I don't count on it, but I'd like to see him fight.”

Max Holloway: "I just can't wait to fight him"

Holloway lost to reigning UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovsky. "The Blessed One" won 14 straight fights at 145 pounds before his fight with Alexander, so he's more than capable of taking out Kattar and igniting a new winning streak for 2021.
Although Holloway's clash with Kattar next weekend will be his first non-title fight since his fight with Ricardo Lamas in 2016, it will still be a five-round bout. It's something Holloway is well prepared for and it's allowed him to keep most of his training going for a return to the octagon.

UFC 257 Tickets Sold Out for Conor McGregor's Fight Island Debut

It's probably the only ticket, too, but since former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor-MMA's biggest star-has never set foot on” Fight Island " in Abu Dhabi, UAE fans are likely to fill those seats regardless a lot.
According to MMA Junkie, which made the necessary inquiries to verify such facts, socially distanced (and extremely limited) tickets ranging from $ 795 dirhams ($216 USD) to $ 4,995 UAE dirhams ($1,360 USD) were completely sold out for the Etihad Arena.
Even before the pandemic, it was hard to get tickets to McGregor's fight. That's because he performs so rarely and flirts with retiring after every loss. It will be interesting to see what the promotion can offer him for winning.

UFC 257: Dustin Poirier Wants a Lightweight Title Shot, Not Money

That's why Dustin is focused on winning, not getting revenge.
"This is not about payback," Poirier said last weekend. “This is not a rematch. Of course, these are very important to me. I go out there and beat him, it's all part of this game, things I'll think about and be happy about, but that's not my motivation every day. My main goal is to become a world champion, to be the best.”
The future of the current champion Khabib Nurmagomedov may depend on this.
McGregor stopped Poirier in their first meeting at UFC 178 back in 2014, when both fighters were promising, but a lot has changed since then. And Dustin needs to do something to get Conor out of the title race.
Especially after a resounding defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
