McGregor won the pair’s first bout in 2014, knocking out Poirier in the first round of a featherweight contest.

Poirier had to wait seven years for his revenge, but exacted it this January by handing McGregor the first knockout defeat of the Irishman’s career with a second-round finish.

Like that rematch, the UFC 264 meeting is a lightweight main event.

That means it will consist of five five-minute rounds, unless either fighter can secure a finish via knockout or submission.

The bout takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
