The big fight feel returns to Las Vegas on July 10, as the UFC announced the third fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will be held in front of a full house at T-Mobile Arena

UFC President Dana White made the declaration on social media Wednesday morning for UFC 264, where the rivals will meet in a lightweight bout.

The fight will be the rubber match between the two, with McGregor knocking out Poirier in under two minutes during their first meeting in 2014, and Poirier exacting revenge this past January by scoring a second-round TKO.

The announcement comes a day after Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak said he expected the state to be reopened at 100% capacity by June 1.
