Conor McGregor already has one eye on what’s next ahead of his eagerly anticipated trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier which will take place at UFC 264 on July 10.

The Irishman has exchanged wins with Poirier in their two-fight series.

In 2014, McGregor quickly knocked out ‘The Diamond’ during his famous featherweight run that ended in the spectacular one-punch KO of the long-time titleholder, Jose Aldo.

Earlier this year, Poirier avenged that loss in emphatic fashion at UFC 257. The former interim lightweight champion wrestled early before utilizing leg kicks and elite-level boxing to close the show inside two rounds.

Despite coming into UFC 264 off the back of a devastating defeat, McGregor is confident he’ll breeze by Poirier and move on to a lightweight title fight with Charles Oliveira.

“It’s (Dustin Poirier’s) a dead body to me,” McGregor told The Mac Life. “I’m already thinking that Allegiant Stadium is where we’re heading. I feel maybe Christmas time, I don’t know, we’ll talk afterward. But that world title will be contested in the Allegiant Stadium here in Las Vegas, I would imagine so. I like the look of it. It’s called the Death Star as well, that’s what I’m feeling like right now a Death Star.

“I’ll be the twelfth lightweight titleholder, and this is my twelfth UFC main event this Saturday,” McGregor added. “And I’m aiming for my twentieth mixed martial arts knockout.  

‘Do Bronx’ will be in attendance at UFC 264 to see who he’ll make his first title defence against. Oliveira survived the early onslaught of former Bellator champion, Michael Chandler, to claim the title vacated by Khabib Nurmagomedov who cemented his retirement from the sport earlier this year.

Conor McGregor expects his upcoming trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier to shatter the pay-per-view record.

‘Notorious’ is set to square off against ‘The Diamond’ at UFC 264 which will take place on July 10 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The Irishman has a rich history with Poirier heading into this weekend’s blockbuster event.

McGregor previously beat the former interim lightweight champion in double-quick time when they first met in 2014.

Earlier this year, Poirier avenged that defeat at UFC 257. The Lafayette, Louisiana native wrestled early before utilizing leg kicks and elite-level boxing to close the show inside two rounds.

McGregor already holds the record for the highest-grossing UFC pay-per-view event of all time. ‘Mystic Mac’ is believed to have done in excess of 2.4 million buys for his grudge match with Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October 2019.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, McGregor spoke with optimism about breaking that record at UFC 264.

“It’s thrilling. I’ll break records on the PPV. I know that’s the expectation,” McGregor said. “I’ve been in big fights before, and it’s always electric, and this one will probably be the biggest so far. Having fans there this time is going to add even more to the atmosphere. So, I’m truly so excited, and I’m going to put on a show.

UFC president, Dana White, is also feeling positive ahead of UFC 264.

“Saturday night is going to be f*cking insane,” White told MMA Junkie. “Most celebrities ever at an event in the last 20 years, more pre-buys ever. All of you out there, if you know that you’re going to watch the fight on Saturday night, buy it now. Don’t wait until Saturday when 3 million other people are trying to do it and you have a hard time getting it in. We have the most pre-buys ever right now and believe me, go to ESPN+ and do it now.”
