Dustin Poirier will ‘be happy’ to put Conor McGregor behind him after UFC 264

Dustin Poirier knows how fruitful a fight with Conor McGregor can be—let alone three of them—but he’s ready to compete and move on to the next chapter of his career.

The third meeting between Poirier and McGregor will headline Saturday’s UFC 264 event, which takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. After McGregor stopped Poirier in the opening round of their first meeting at UFC 178 in September 2014, “The Diamond” was able to even the score with a second-round stoppage win in their rematch in January at UFC 257.
