\nThe Octagon is set to host what looks set to be UFC biggest fight of the year (again!) as Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor prepare to settle their rivalry with a deciding trilogy fight in Las Vegas today. Read on to discover how to find a UFC live stream and watch Poirier vs McGregor 3 online – plus details of the UFC 264 time and card with ESPN+ having exclusive coverage in the US. The pair first locked horns at UFC 178 back in 2014, with infamous Irish star McGregor walking away victorious with a TKO in under two minutes. After a seven-year gap, the pair met once more at UFC 257 back in January, with Poirier this time turning out the victor. That leaves the pair tied at one win each going into this blockbuster deciding bout. That’s the main event, but the card’s notional co-main event sees a welterweight head-to-head between Stephen \u201cWonderboy\u201d Thompson faces #2 ranked Gilbert Burns. Both are looking to be considered for a title shot, so expect no ground to be given in The Octagon. Follow our guide below as we explain how to get a Poirier vs McGregor 3 live stream and watch UFC 264 online – plus key details like the Poirier vs McGregor time, and the cheapest way to get a UFC live stream on Saturday. Poirier vs McGregor 3 takes place at UFC 264, which is scheduled for Saturday, July 10. The UFC 264 early prelim card is scheduled to begin at 6pm ET \/ 3pm PT \/ 11pm BST \/ 8am AEST (Sun), with the prelims kicking off at 8pm ET \/ 5pm PT \/ 1am BST (Sun)\/ 10am AEST (Sun). This main Poirier vs McGregor 3 card is slated to start at 10pm ET \/ 7pm PT \/ 3am BST (Sun) \/ 12pm AEST (Sun) – with the two MMA stars expected to enter the Octagon from around 11.30pm ET \/ 8.30pm PT \/ 4.30am BST \/ 1.30pm AEST. The legacy of both fighters is at stake here in this third and one presumes final fight between the two, with many pundits tipping it to be the best fight of the trilogy. With both fighters having been beaten by Khabib Nurmagomedov in the past, neither fighter will want to have a deciding defeat in this trilogy bout as another black mark on their record. While Poirier undoubtedly has the lesser profile of the two fighters, the Louisiana-born star is nevertheless ranked as the no.1 contender in the Lightweight division and boasts a 27-6 record. McGregor, meanwhile sits at no.6 in the rankings with a 22-5 record, and, perhaps significantly, hasn’t won inside the octagon since January last year. With the stakes high in a potentially career defining fight, we expect a cagey start resulting in a fight that’s likely to go three rounds. This could in turn suit Poirier, who has regularly marked himself out as one of the UFC’s most resilient performers. Despite some recent high-profile defeats, Dublin-born McGregor remains MMA’s biggest star. The first fighter to hold two titles simultaneously, the former UFC Lightweight and Featherweight champ is the biggest PPV draw in franchise history and the first to hold KO finishes in Featherweight, Lightweight and Welterweight classes. While his career began in 2008, and took to the UFC in 2013, the Irish fighter has fought in some of MMA’s biggest fights and is one of the most formidable opponents on the roster. Nicknamed ‘The Diamond’, the former interim Lightweight champion’s storied career has seen him claim wins over four former UFC champions. Boasting an impressive 20 \/ 27 wins by knockout or submission. Poirier remains a force to be reckoned with, with his raw power set to once again provide a contrast to McGregor’s famed hard and fast approach to fights. The last meeting between these two fighters back in January marked both fighters last appearances in the Octagon. That fight saw McGregor left stunned on his return from retirement at Abu Dhabi’s Fight Island. While Notorious edged the first round, a flurry of punches saw Poirier seal a famous TKO knockout deep into round two. The Poirier vs McGregor 3 fight tops a stacked UFC 264 bill that also sees a highly-anticipated welterweight clash between title contenders Gilbert Burns and Stephen Thompson act as the co-main event. Burns will be looking to bounce back following the heartache of a title fight defeat to UFC 170-pound champ Kamaru Usman at UFC 258 earlier this year. The loss ended a six-fight win streak for \u201cDurinho\u201d and upended his rapid rise in the welterweight division. This match-up is by no means an easing back into the groove for Burns, with Thompson\u2019s seemingly umatchable striking skills likely to cause him serious trouble.
