UFC 269 – Poirier vs Oliveira FREE: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for lightweight title fight

DUSTIN POIRIER finally gets his shot at lightweight supremacy when he takes on Charles Oliveira for the 155lbs belt at UFC 269.

Oliveira won the title by beating Michael Chandler via TKO earlier this year and he couldn’t have a trickier first defence to begin his reign.

Poirier could have had the title shot a little earlier than December, but he chose to give Conor McGregor a money-spinning trilogy rematch in the summer instead.

The Diamond won that bout via first-round TKO, leaving himself in perfect stead for his clash with Oliveira, one of the most dangerous operators in the UFC.

What have they said?

“I really think I’m going to stop this guy,” Poirier said.

“I really think I’m going to stop this guy. 25 minutes is too long to fight with me and not get hit with a shot and not get put in a bad position.

I’m feeling the best I’ve ever felt. My body feels good. I’m really focused. I can’t wait.”

“These 25 minutes, no matter how much pair or discomfort you’re going through, these 25 minutes are going to last for the rest of my life.

“And maybe this is the last time I make that walk to fight for a championship.”
