All pre-fight festivities are over following the final showdown between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor at the ceremonial weigh-ins at UFC 264.
The intensity increased as the Light Trilogy bout approached, and after gaining weight on Friday morning in official weigh-ins, Poirier (27-6 MMA, 19-5 UFC) and McGregor (22-5 MMA, 10 -3 CFU) came face to face one last time before sharing the octagon.
After McGregor tried to kick Poirier at their press conference, UFC President Dana White took no chances in allowing the pair to get physical. He was on guard for the stare, but the two athletes were still locked in as they took one last look.
Dana White made sure Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor kept their distance in the final # UFC264 face to face.
