Next Episode: E23: UFC 257 fallout - The new McGregor, lightweight future, key title fights in 2021

For the first All Things MMA of 2021, and the first under the Scoreline.ie banner, we're heading to Abu Dhabi with a look at what's been happening during Fight Island and what's going to happen - potentially - at UFC 257 on Saturday night.

Reflecting on changes over the last few years, what happens beyond this weekend and where do we go with the lightweight division in the UFC?

As a casual fight fan who's only drawn to big-name events, what is it for Shane that keeps him hooked and what's made certain fighters household names when compared to the world of professional wrestling, football and beyond?

Do title fights really matter for Conor McGregor? Does money really matter, or is it all about legacy? What would a second fight with Khabib achieve or is the future simply in marquee fights until the love runs out?

There's plenty to chew on and more to read when you visit scoreline.ie.
