Here is the full match card for UFC 264: Poirier Vs. McGregor 3 which is scheduled to happen on July 10, 2021, live from T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the UFC has been hosting most of its events in Las Vegas at the UFC Apex facility, all of them behind closed doors. This will be the first time since UFC 248 in March 2020 that T-Mobile Arena will host an event, with a full capacity crowd attending it.
A rematch between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier is currently expected to take place at this event. They both previously collided at UFC 257, Despite talks of retirement, McGregor was booked to face Dustin Poirier in a rematch of their 2014 bout at UFC 257 on 24 January 2021.
The final chapter in the trilogy between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor will be written on Saturday, July 10, as the lightweight superstars settle the score in the main event of UFC 264 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After Ireland’s McGregor defeated Poirier in 2014, Louisiana’s “Diamond†evened the score in January, setting up the most highly anticipated rubber match in UFC history between former champions determined to be the one leaving this trilogy victorious.
This time, the stakes go high as they meet for one more highlight. McGregor has been known for such relentless trash talk and "psychological warfare" against his opponents. However, McGregor has later changed his way of approaching the build-up to his fights, no longer engaging in trash-talking and is rather friendly and respectful to his opponents, as shown in his bout against Donald Cerrone and the rematch against Dustin Poirier which he lost.
As a multi-division champion, McGregor has fought off in 13th UFC fights and his upcoming fight against Poirier will be 14th. The Diamond isn’t afraid of taking things to the ground, having an average of 1.5 takedowns and 1.3 submissions per 15 minutes. Both fighters have the same height, however Conor McGregor has a one-inch reach advantage.
A Welterweight bout between Gilbert Burns and Stephen Thompson is also slated to be the co-main event of the evening. A middleweight bout between former KSW Welterweight Champion Dricus du Plessis and Trevin Giles is also expected to take place at this event.
A bantamweight bout between Sean O'Malley and Louis Smolka was expected to take place at the event. However, on June 29, Smolka withdrew due to an injury, He was replaced by promotional newcomer Kris Moutinho.
