Conor ‘The Notorious’ McGregor was on an amazing eleven-win streak when he first faced the American inside the cage at UFC 178. McGregor successfully continued his win streak by defeating Poirier in the very first round of the bout via knockout.

However, the tables turned when both the men clashed again in a rematch at UFC 257. ‘The Diamond’ retaliated this time by stopping McGregor in the second round of the fight via Knockout. This win made the score even for both the fighters as they now have one win over each other.

Therefore, UFC president Dana White did what is best for the business. He set up a trilogy fight between both the fighters for a clear result. White knew this trilogy fight will garner a lot of attention from combat fans around the globe as the rematch sold over 1.6 million pay-per-views.

Meanwhile, the trilogy has a lot more on the line. A win in the fight can also decide the next prospect for the welterweight gold. This is probably the last time we see the combatants battle inside the octagon.
