Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor will break their one-fight series stalemate in the main event of UFC 264 on July 10 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The rivalry began in 2014, when McGregor knocked out Poirier in the first round while both were featherweights. Following the battle, McGregor went on to become the first fighter in UFC history to hold world championships in two different divisions at the same time, while Poirier traveled the hard route to gold and earned an interim lightweight title in 2019.
Both would lose to Khabib Nurmagomedov and would meet again for a rematch, which Poirier won with a second-round knockout at UFC 257 in January.
Â
What had seemed to be a friendly rivalry has turned sour since their previous bout, when Poirier accused McGregor of failing to donate the $500,000 he pledged to Poirier's charity "The Good Fight" after their January rematch. The two had a Twitter spat, and the trilogy bout was scheduled soon after when Poirier chose to face McGregor over challenging for the UFC lightweight championship, which Charles Oliveira won by knockout over Michael Chandler.
Â
The victor will gain bragging rights and will most likely be the next in line for a championship chance, while the loser will have to pick up the pieces of their shattered career.
