7 Fights We Need to See After UFC 257

UFC 257 is a card fight fans will be talking about for weeks to come for a laundry list of reasons—most notably because it was the night we saw Conor McGregor get knocked out for the first time in mixed martial arts.

In Saturday's much-anticipated headliner, the Irishman was put down by a volley of second-round punches from his former victim Dustin Poirier in a defeat that strips his brand of much of its remaining mystique.

That wasn't the only big moment of the UFC 257 card.

In the evening's co-main event, former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler made a splash in his UFC debut, turning off on Kiwi striking ace Dan Hooker's lights, while several other fighters also picked up statement wins on the card.
