Not only are Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier going to fight for a third time on Jul 10th as expected, but the bout will also take place with fans in attendance.

Following reports that the lightweights had agreed to fight at UFC 264, the promotion has officially announced that the fight will headline the July 10th card. In addition, the UFC has announced the event will be hosted by the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and that it will be open to the public.

Poirier (27-6, 1 NC) faced McGregor (22-5) for the first time in 2014, and was stopped in the opening round. In their rematch this past January, however, Poirier took out the polarizing fighter in round two.

Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor
Gilbert Burns vs. Stephen Thompson
Jessica Eye vs. Jennifer Maia
Ryan Hall vs. Ilia Topuria
