The trilogy continues

Conor McGregor will face Dustin Poirier for the third time on Saturday at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena for UFC 264.

The pair have met in the UFC octagon on two separate occasions, with McGregor knocking Porier out in their first bout back in 2014. More than seven years later, Poirier returned the favour in a low-calf kick-dominated matchup that saw MacGregor go down in the second round.

Since then, both fighters have been at each other’s necks and are ready to settle the score at UFC 264 this Saturday.
