UFC 264: Poirier vs. McGregor 3: Violence is coming (video)

We are just eight days away from one of the most anticipated trilogy match-ups in UFC history. In the main event of UFC 264 next Saturday, Dustin ‘Diamond’ Poirier and ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor will meet for the third time.

By now we all know the story heading into this one. McGregor bested Poirier back when he was working on his run to the featherweight title, felling the Louisianan with a second round TKO. This January the pair met again, in the lightweight division, and it was Poirier who scored the second round TKO, handing the Irishman his first ever MMA loss to strikes.
