And McGregor is looking to get revenge after being stunned in the second round by Poirier earlier this year.
The former UFC featherweight and lightweight double-champion uploaded a photo of his bulking physique to Instagram, captioning the post: “6 weeks.”
Fans are hyped for the fight, one commented: “Putting in that work.”
And another commented saying: “Dustin [Poirier] is about to be destroyed let’s go champ.”
UFC 264 will serve as the UFC‘s first full-capacity event since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Just over 20,000 fans will be able to watch the fight live at the T-Mobile Arena.
McGregor’s long-time training partner Artem Lobov believes the Irishman will knock Poirier out in the first round.
He reckons McGregor took Poirier lightly earlier this year, expecting an easy repeat of their first fight back in 2014.

The expectation is that whoever wins the McGregor-Poirier fight will go on to face newly-crowned lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.
But UFC Dana White isn’t going to rush the decision on who Oliveira will defend his title against next.
He said: “I don’t know. I gotta watch this fight and see how it plays out.”
