The trilogy between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor concludes tonight as the two face off in Saturday’s main event while MMASucka brings you UFC 264 results. These two first met way back in 2014 when both fighters were part of the featherweight division. Poirier would lose in the first meeting, suffering a TKO loss in less than two minutes. About seven years later, Poirier got his chance to make things even when the pair headlined UFC 257 in January. Poirier got his revenge that night, finishing McGregor by TKO in the second round.

Looking at each fighter’s last four fights, Poirier holds a record of 3-1 while McGregor sits at 2-2, his last four fights spanning from 2016-present. In the last two years, Poirier won the interim lightweight championship against former featherweight champion Max Holloway. He then would go on to face the champion, being finished by submission against Khabib Nurmagomedov that September. Since the loss, he has won two straight, defeating Dan Hooker and finishing McGregor.

McGregor has been alternating wins and losses since 2016 when he took the lightweight title from Eddie Alvarez. After that, he was away from the octagon for two years, relinquishing the belt during that time, allowing Nurmagomedov to become champion. When McGregor returned in 2018, he got an immediate shot at Nurmagomedov, losing in the fourth round by submission. After that, he got his first win since 2016 with a TKO win over Donald Cerrone. After that, McGregor would face Poirier again.

Going into Saturday night now, Poirier will be looking for a third straight win, including back-to-back over McGregor. As for McGregor, he looks to win just his second fight in the last five years or so and avoid dropping two straight for the first time ever.

UFC 264 Results- Co-Main Event

Saturday night’s co-main event features an intriguing match up in the welterweight division. Coming off a disappointing performance in a title bout with Kamaru UsmanGilbert Burns returns to face former title challenger Stephen Thompson. Prior to his loss to Usman, Burns had put together a win streak of six straight. Over that span, he held notable wins over Gunnar NelsonDemian Maia and Tyron Woodley.

As for Thompson, he is entering the fight having won his last two straight outings. Both of those wins came by unanimous decision over Vicente Luque and Geoff Neal. If Thompson can get past Burns, he feels like he should be next in line against Usman.
