McGregor finished Poirier in the opening round of their first fight back in September 2014.
“The Diamond” avenged that loss by finishing McGregor in the second
round of their UFC 257 rematch in January.
Poirier destroyed McGregor with fierce leg kicks and punches to win
their rematch and set up a hugely intriguing third bout.
The fight will be the headline bout to UFC 264 but there had been some confusion over
it following a stunning expletive-laden rant on social media from McGregor to his rival.
