After defeating Conor McGregor in back-to-back fights, Dustin Poirier will walk into the Octagon on Saturday night looking to capture the UFC lightweight championship.
Poirier enters the UFC 269 main event as the slight favorite despite the fact that Charles Oliveira currently holds the belt. Poirier could cap off an incredible year by becoming the undisputed lightweight champion, but Oliveira is hardly a pushover and will have plenty of motivation to defend his title.

In addition to the Oliveira-Poirier matchup, UFC fans will also be able to watch Amanda Nunes battle Julianna Pena for the bantamweight championship. Pena has been talking a lot of trash ahead of UFC 269, but Nunes doesn’t seem concerned. She has won 12 consecutive fights, so it’s not surprising to hear that “The Li oness” expects to dominate another opponent.
Will the champs keep their belts? Or will the challengers walk out victorious?
