The UFC calendar for 2021 gets properly under way this month, with a hotly anticipated rematch between two of the biggest names in the sport. Irish powerhouse Conor McGregor will face down Dustin Poirier for the first time since 2014, when Poirier lost to McGregor in a TKO after less than two minutes. He’ll be out to avenge that loss, but with McGregor only having fought for a total of 40 seconds over the past two years, there’s plenty at stake for both.
This must-see event on January 24th can be watched in multiple ways – from the comfort of your couch or on your phone or tablet wherever you are. There are more ways to watch than ever before – check out your options below!
Poirier vs McGregor Preview
It was a quiet 2020 for Conor McGregor, after he abandoned thoughts of retirement to take on Donald Cerrone at the start of the year. He TKO’d Cerrone in a mere 40 seconds, a bold statement that he was far from done. The win made him the first UFC fighter to win by TKO in the featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight divisions.
Poirier, meanwhile, sits at #2 in the UFC lightweight rankings and since moving up to that division after his loss to McGregor, has had a years-long scorecard of wins. For him, the meet with McGregor is going to be a long-awaited chance to settle the score.

What People are Asking about Main Event on Kayo
No – the way Kayo has set up their Main Event access is to be as hassle-free as possible. You’ll only need to create a free Kayo account and pay for your event, and there won’t be any ongoing Kayo subscription charges unless you choose to subscribe.
Once you’ve paid for the event, you’ll have full access to all of Kayo Sports – all the live sports streams, and all on-demand content. That access continues until several days after your event has finished.
Yes – you’ll be able to stream your event on demand immediately after it’s finished, and for several days afterwards. The exact date that you have access until is specified when you pay for an event – and up till that date, you’ll be able to watch your event as much as you like, as well as anything else on Kayo.
The best way to stream Kayo – including Main Event streams – is by using one of the streaming devices that have a Kayo app available. Apple TV, Telstra TV and Chromecast with Google TV are all great choices that will also let you stream from many other services including Netflix. Alternatively, you can cast the stream from your phone or tablet with a Chromecast Ultra on your TV, or use the built-in Kayo app on recent Samsung smart TVs and Sony Android TVs.
Because all events on Main Event are one-off payments with no subscription required, you’re asked to enter payment details separate from an existing Kayo account if you already have one. This is done so that everyone can pay to stream the event, whether or not they’re a Kayo subscriber. It won’t affect your regular Kayo subscription price, and you’ll only ever be charged once per Main Event that you purchase access to.
