Now that all the posturing has begun to wane, reality can settle in.
Dustin Poirier will complete his trilogy with former two-division Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Conor McGregor when they lock horns for the third time in the UFC 264 headliner on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, welterweights provide the requisite support in the co-main event, where Stephen Thompson confronts Gilbert Burns at 170 pounds.
UFC 264 “Poirier vs. McGregor 3”— which streams to ESPN+ pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT—also features a heavyweight tilt pitting Tai Tuivasa against Greg Hardy and a pair of bantamweight affairs, as Irene Aldana faces Yana Kunitskaya and Sean O'Malley meets Kris Moutinho.
