Dustin is the number 1 ranked lightweight and he avenged his first loss at UFC 257 when he knocked Conor out in the second round, and both of them are ready to settle the score once and for all.

There has been a lot of trash talk during the build-up to this fight, Conor behaved incredible polite towards Dustin during their rematch, but he dropped the “nice guy” persona as soon as he lost that one, Conor was asked about this in the press conference, but before Conor could answer the question, Dustin grabbed the mic, and said, “Cause he got knocked the fu*k out.”
