Conor McGregor at UFC 257

Conor McGregor made his first appearance of 2021 with a newfound etiquette that gave him the tag "Mr. Nice Guy," along with a new skinny-head look. A year and six days after his previous UFC appearance, Conor entered the octagon in a rematch against Dustin Poirier. This was the Irishman's third lightweight outing in the UFC, which he made after his second-longest hiatus in MMA.

Conor McGregor entered the Etihad Arena on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi with his theme playing in the background. However, the Irishman was different this time, without his half-suicidal smile and mean mug pointing at the camera. This was the Irishman's 10th consecutive appearance in a UFC main event.

Former UFC multi-division champion turned commentator Daniel Cormier recalled Conor McGregor's legacy during the walk-out and said:

"Conor McGregor not only changed the game from financial perspective, he changed it in terms of goals. No one thought about being a double champion before Conor McGregor did it. He showed that whatever you aspire to have could come true. And this young man, for everything he is, is a fantastic mixed martial artist."

All of the Irishman's UFC entrances are marked with Foggy Dew playing in the background. However, UFC 189 saw Sinéad O'Connor herself grace the arena for a live performance.

Conor McGregor entered the arena with his maniacal smirk, very definitive of 'The Notorious.' Carrying the colors of an entire nation on his shoulders, he made one of the most iconic UFC entrances of his career.
