Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor are set for their third fight coming July 10th at UFC 264.
The fight will not be for any title, but should be one of the biggest fights of the year. It is set to be the marquee event of the summer and potentially highlight a return to the pre-pandemic International Fight Week in Vegas.
Poirier stopped McGregor in January at UFC 251 which could (and should) have earned the 32-year-old a lightweight title shot. However, Poirier opted for McGregor which seemingly is the bigger fight in terms of money.
UFC 257 drew 1.6 million global PPV buys and one would think that the third fight should do the same.
For McGregor, its now or never as another loss would diminish the former two-time fighter’s status as a draw.
