Conor McGregor and Rafael Dos Anjos clashed backstage following the weigh-ins for UFC 264.

‘Notorious’ is set to headline against Dustin Poirier after both men came in bang on the lightweight limit of 156lbs ahead of the eagerly anticipated trilogy fight.

Dos Anjos also made weight as a backup for the main event. Luckily for fight fans, it appears his services will not be needed.

McGregor and Poirier both look healthy and barring any fight day mishaps will square off in just a few hours’ time.

On Friday, Dos Anjos posted a message to McGregor on social media.

“Conor you’re such a snake, sneaking from behind and playing tough,” Dos Anjos wrote. “Soon or later we will finish business. I’m not like the guys you play around with.”

ESPN reporter, Marc Raimondi, added some content to the post.

“There was a minor verbal altercation between McGregor and dos Anjos backstage at the UFC Apex during weigh-ins,” Raimondi wrote on social media. “That’s what this tweet is referencing.”

The “minor verbal altercation” was caught on camera and released as part of the UFC 264 Embedded series.

McGregor can be heard chastising Dos Anjos for withdrawing from their lightweight title fight in 2016. The Irishman ended up fighting late replacement opponent Nate Diaz and the rest is history.

Dos Anjos surrendered his title to Eddie Alvarez soon after. ‘The Underground King’ was eventually dethroned by McGregor who became the first man to hold two belts simultaneously when doing so at UFC 205.

Dos Anjos replies to McGregor’s aggressive behaviour by saying they can fight right now but security was on hand to guide ‘Mystic Mac’ away from the scene and avoid any type of physical altercation.

‘RDA’ returned to the division where he once held UFC gold in 2020 and looked fantastic when doing so while dominating the always tough Paul Felder over five rounds.

The finalized fight card and bout order for UFC 264: Poirier vs. McGregor 3 in Las Vegas.

It’s finally fight day!

There’s no title on the line but yet there is plenty at stake in the main event of UFC 264. Former simultaneous two-division champion Conor McGregor and former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier will meet one more time to determine who wins this rivalry. In 2014 it was McGregor who stopped Poirier in just a couple of minutes when they were both featherweights. Just under seven years later and this past January, Poirier evened the score with a second-round TKO in their rematch at lightweight in the UFC 257 headliner. Who will get the rubber match and presumably get the next shot at Charles Oliveira’s belt? You’ll have to wait and see with the rest of us.

Co-main event action has title implications at welterweight, as Stephen Thompson and Gilbert Burns square off in a battle of two former title challengers. Thompson hasn’t fought for the belt since 2017, whereas Burns is coming off a difficult TKO defeat to Gilbert Burns.

It’s a big night and it will be a packed house at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 10th. Here’s the full bout order and start time info you need for UFC 264:
