Conor McGregor swaggers into T-Mobile Arena ahead of trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier

Conor McGregor has arrived at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.

Wearing sunglasses and a sharp suit, McGregor looked determined and walked into the arena with his usual swagger.

McGregor is expected to enter the octagon at around 5am (Irish time) to take on Poirier in the lightweight clash.

It is the main event in a sold-out arena in Las Vegas, with a big cheer coming from the fans when McGregor's entrance was shown on the big screens. Celebrities like Justin Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian and Jared Leto are all in attendance.

Poirier arrived at the arena about half an hour before McGregor and looked in a relaxed mood.

The American stopped McGregor in the second round when the pair met in Abu Dhabi in January.

But McGregor has been typically confident that it will be a different story this time around.

He said: “He’s done - this is it for him.

"This is the end of the road, even after that last fight he was saying ‘Oh I don’t love this anymore, I don’t love doing this.’

"He knew what was coming, he knew the smacks he took, so it’s on now.

"Saturday night, he’s getting walked around that Octagon like a dog and put to sleep.”
