Dana White is actively seeking a backup fighter for Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor’s scheduled trilogy fight at UFC 264. Both men have a good track record of making weight and showing up to fights, but in the COVID-19 era, anything can happen at any time.

“Right now, I’m searching for someone to fill in as the backup on that card. Nobody is leaping out the window. In a recent interview with Bleacher Report’s Tom Taylor, the UFC president stated, “No one is kicking down my door.”When asked if the winner of Poirier vs. McGregor 3 will fight Charles Oliveira for the lightweight belt next, White stated that he hadn’t considered it.
