When and How to Watch McGregor vs Poirier at UFC 264 Online

UFC 264, which will feature a rematch between the UFC's biggest star Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier, is now only a few weeks away.

It'll be their third battle, with the score presently at one apiece. McGregor knocked out Poirier in the opening round of their Featherweight fight in 2014. Poirier repaid the favor earlier this year with a second-round knockout at UFC 267. The third bout will very likely decide who will face the current UFC Lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira, next.

Who will emerge victorious? At the moment, the chances are about 50/50. Given how decisive the first fight was, I anticipated McGregor to make quick work of Poirier in the second, but Poirier's better defense, as well as an improved chin at Lightweight, enabled him to survive early pressure in the first round before gaining control of the fight. Poirier knocked McGregor down in the second round with a combination of calf kicks and quick boxing.

Can McGregor overcome those calf kicks? Will he abandon his current boxing-heavy approach in favor of the light-footed karate mobility that characterized his previous fights? Is Poirier capable of striking lightning twice?

In any case, this battle is becoming hotter. When McGregor's $500,000 contribution to Poirier's Good Fight Foundation was delayed, Poirier went to Twitter, sparking a dispute between the two. While their second bout had a polite and courteous atmosphere, their third battle will undoubtedly be a much more personal affair.

In a nutshell, brace yourselves for a spectacular display.
