Dustin Poirier just hit the scales ahead of his main event fight at UFC 264. There he will meet Conor McGregor for the third time in his career.

The first time they met it was at featherweight, in 2014, and Poirier lost by TKO. The second time it was lightweight and Poirier got his revenge, handing McGregor his very first loss to strikes in MMA.

Tomorrow night, with ultimate bragging rights on the line, the fight will again be at lightweight. And Poirier is on weight, check out the video below to see him tip the scales at 156 lbs.

Poirier looked calm and composed as he weighed in. He’s looked like that throughout fight week, despite McGregor’s best attempts to rattle him with infantile and insecure sounding trash talk.

Now Poirier waits to see if McGregor will make weight.

UFC 264 is live tomorrow, with the pay per view starting at 10 PM ET.
