MASSIVE MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCH! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its highly anticipated return to Sydney, Australia, for the first time in five years on Sat., Sept. 9, 2023, with a 185-pound world title fight inside Qudos Bank Arena. In the ESPN+-streamed pay-per-view (PPV) main event, Middleweight roost-ruler, Israel Adesanya, plans to silence No. 5-seeded contender, Sean Strickland. In UFC 293’s hard-hitting Heavyweight co-main event, No-6-ranked fan favorite, Tai Tuivasa, locks horns with towering Russian, Alexander Volkov (No. 8).
A heated McGregor and a calm, collected Poirier engaged in one final face-off/staredown prior to their trilogy fight. Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President, Dana White, was very cautious following McGregor’s attempt to kick Poirier at Thursday’s pre-fight press conference.
Amusingly, White kept stepping forward with his leg to check any attempted leg strikes.
UFC 264 is headlined by the Lightweight trilogy between McGregor and Poirier. Prior to the highly-anticipated rubber match, Stephen Thompson and Gilbert Burns throw hands for a spot in the Welterweight title chase.
