In what looks to be the UFC's biggest PPV event of the year Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier and Conor "The Notorious" McGregor will meet in the Octagon for the third time at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and we have all the details on how you can watch Poirier vs McGregor 3 on TV or online.

The first time these two opponents faced off was all the way back at UFC 178 in September of 2014 when McGregor was still a rising star. After knocking out Poirier in the first round with less than two minutes on the clock though, McGregor cemented himself as a force to be reckoned with in the UFC.

Six years later at UFC 257 back in January of this year, Poirier and McGregor met in the Octagon at the UFC's Fight Island facility in Abu Dhabi for a rematch. This time around though, Poirier had the upper hand and began the match with an unexpected kick to McGregor's leg which threw him off. While McGregor was able to recover the first time around, Poirier kept up this strategy during the second round and continued kicking his opponent's calf which made it difficult for him to move. From here Poirier launched a series of punches that knocked McGregor on the floor to secure the win with a second-round TKO.

Now Poirier and McGregor will battle it out one last time in a lightweight bout at the top of UFC 264's Main Card to bring their trilogy to a close. Both fighters have been training hard for this final rematch and with McGregor winning the first match and Poirier winning the second, it will be winner takes all at the T-Mobile Arena tonight.

Elsewhere on the card in UFC 264's co-main event, Gilbert "Durinho" Burns will take on Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson in a welterweight bout. However, as they both have eyes on a title shot, neither fighter will be holding back.

Whether you're rooting for Poirier, McGregor or just want to tune in to see the conclusion of their trilogy, we'll show you how to watch Poirier vs McGregor 3 from anywhere in the world.
