Sources: Dustin Poirier signs contract, rubber match vs. Conor McGregor set for UFC 264 in July

Dustin Poirier has officially signed his contract to fight Conor McGregor at UFC 264 on July 10, according to multiple sources.

McGregor, sources say, had already agreed to the fight weeks ago. He made it clear following his loss to Poirier earlier this year that he wanted to run it back with Poirier right away.

Poirier defeated McGregor in January via second-round TKO in a rematch of a fight that first happened in 2014. Back then, at UFC 178, McGregor defeated Poirier via first-round TKO.

The trilogy, which is expected to be one of the most lucrative in UFC history, is slated to serve as a five-round main event at 155 pounds, just like the rematch was.
