UFC 264 poster released: Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor emerge from darkness

UFC 264 is still over a month away, but the UFC is already trickling out the fight promotion.

On Sunday, the UFC released the official poster for the July 10 pay-per-view event, which is headlined by the third meeting between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor. UFC 264 will be the first MMA event held in front of a full capacity crowd in Las Vegas since UFC 248 in March 2020.

The lifetime series between Poirier (27-6 MMA, 20-6 UFC) and McGregor (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) is tied at one win apiece. The first meeting took place at UFC 178 in September 2014, when McGregor knocked out Poirier in the first round.

In January at UFC 257, the two fighters met inside the cage again – over six years after the first meeting. This time, Poirier was the one to win by knockout when he defeated McGregor with punches in Round 2.
