UFC 264 Preview:
HE’S BACK!
Former two-division “champ champ,” Conor McGregor — still the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) draw in the sport — welcomes fans back to the fight capital of the world at FULL CAPACITY when he locks horns with former interim 155-pound roost ruler and current No. 1-seeded division contender, Dustin Poirier, on Sat., July 10, 2021. UFC 264’s PPV main event is one of the biggest fights in UFC history — it’s a rubber match trilogy for the ages.
One of the most anticipated trilogies in combat sports will take place on Saturday, July 10 at UFC 264, as former two-division champion Conor McGregor takes on former interim titleholder Dustin Poirier in the main event. Their much-anticipated third clash tops the marquee from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the main UFC 264 fight card slated for a 10 p.m. ET start. McGregor is perhaps the biggest star ever employed by the promotion, but his mythical status has been diminished by losses in three of his last six fights. One of them at the hands of Poirier, who cemented his own status as one of the sport’s biggest stars with a clean knockout of the trash-talking Irishman in January. [pickup_prop id=”6133″]
