One of the most thrilling Encounter in Ultimate Fighting Championship history will reach its conclusion on Saturday.

In the co-main event, Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor III will battle for the vacant light walterweight title. Conor McGregor recently vacated the title as he plans his move up to the lightweight division, leaving the top contenders to square off to crown a new champion. Usman is coming off a controversial decision loss to McGregor , suffering the first defeat of his career in the process. Poirier is on a three-fight winning streak, most recently knocking out McGregor .

Below are the confirmed bouts for the fight card that is still yet to announce a location less than a month out. Among the most interesting bouts is Poirier vs. McGregor 3 3 as Sanchez nears the end of his career. He won his most recent outing by disqualification after Michel Pereira landed an illegal knee. Because of that, he's won three of his last four fights.
