LAS VEGAS -- One of the most anticipated trilogy bouts in MMA history is now official.
Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor both successfully made weight Friday morning here at the UFC Apex. Poirier and McGregor both weighed in at 156 pounds. The two men will meet in the main event of UFC 264 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.
The score between the two men is 1-1. McGregor beat Poirier by first-round knockout at UFC 178 in 2014. Poirier returned the favor, stopping McGregor by second-round TKO in January at UFC 257. UFC president Dana White has said the winner will receive the next lightweight title shot against champion Charles Oliveira.
