MMA fans have been struggling this past week without a UFC event, however we can look forward to a spectacular return to action.

The UFC 264 Pay-Per-View card will open the month of July for the world’s premier MMA organization, with a card that is stacked to the gills with star matchups, top prospects, and title eliminators.

The card features the trilogy bout between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor, following Poirier’s knockout over McGregor back in January. The card also features a top-five Welterweight contest between Gilbert Burns and Stephen Thompson, while a wild Heavyweight matchup takes the featured bout.

The official poster was recently dropped, as seen below, along with the promo trailer for the event.

The official bout order and start times have been released as well, as listed below.
