UFC President Dana White is ready for leg kicks as Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor face off at the ceremonial weigh-in before UFC 264.

Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor size each other up one last time at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-in, prior to meeting inside the Octagon at UFC 264.

Poirier and McGregor will headline UFC 264, taking place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV on Sat., July 10 via ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV).

A heated McGregor and a calm, collected Poirier engaged in one final face-off/staredown prior to their trilogy fight. Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White was very cautious following McGregor’s attempt to kick Poirier at Thursday’s pre-fight press conference. Amusingly, White kept stepping forward with his leg to check any attempted leg strikes.

UFC 264 is headlined by the lightweight trilogy between McGregor and Poirier, who collide this Sat. night (July 10) inside the jam-packed T-Mobile Arena. Prior to that highly-anticipated rubber match, Stephen Thompson and Gilbert Burns throw hands for a spot in the welterweight title chase.
