Perhaps the most anticipated fight since the Ultimate Fighting Championship returned ti having crowds takes place this Saturday night, as UFC 264: McGregor vs. Poirier comes to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

There are 13 fights total on the card, with the main event the third tilt for Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier inside a UFC octagon. McGregor won their first battle with a first round TKO in 2014, but Poirier returned the favor in the second round of January of 2021.
