Conor McGregor returns to the Octagon tonight and every UFC fight fan will be watching.

There’s no title on the line but a victory would be incredibly significant for both fighters at this stage of their careers. For Poirier, a win would further cement his status as the most deserving lightweight title challenger and he would likely go on to fight for the 155-pound title later this year. A McGregor victory would likely lead to him getting a shot at the lightweight title, as well, but there are countless options on the line for the UFC’s biggest star in victory or defeat.

Importantly, as well, the trilogy will be decided tonight now that both fighters already have one win over the other. McGregor’s knockout win against Poirier came all the way back in 2014. It was a dominant first-round victory that propelled him to superstardom. Poirier got one back in January this year, however, when he stopped McGregor in the second round of their main event bout at UFC 257. It was a decisive victory for the 33-fight veteran and a perfect display of the many improvements he has made over the years.

McGregor vs. Poirier 3 has the potential to be the most-watched fight of the year. Here’s how to watch Conor McGregor fight tonight at UFC 264.
