Six months after Dustin Poirier defeated Conor McGregor with a second-round knockout at UFC 257, the pair will face off for a third time in the main event of UFC 264. You can watch the main card pay-per-view (PPV) event live tonight at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN+. Preliminary matches start at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN and ESPN+.
McGregor defeated Poirier in 2014 on his way to becoming UFC featherweight champion and one of the biggest stars in the sport. However, McGregor’s loss to Poirier at UFC 257 in January 2021 was just his third UFC fight since 2016. In that same time, Poirier has established himself at the top of UFC’s lightweight division, including a short reign as interim champion.
The winner of UFC 264’s main event will likely earn a chance to challenge current UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira, who claimed the title vacated by Khabib Nurmagomedov with a win over Michael Chandler in May.
UFC 264 will welcome a full crowd to Las Vegas for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The event will be held at the T-Mobile Arena with a capacity of 20,000 fans.
The UFC 264 main card costs $70 and requires an ESPN+ subscription for $6 a month or $60 a year. ESPN is also offering a bundle price of $89.98 for UFC 264 and one year of ESPN+; a 30% discount.
