Charles Oliveira puts his UFC Lightweight title on the line for the first time at UFC 269.
The Brazilian submission specialist was given Performance of the Night when he won the belt from Michael Chandler earlier this year at UFC 262.
Poirier, of course, comes into the fight off the back of two successive victories over Conor McGregor. The American is looking to reclaim the belt he lost to Khabib at UFC 242 in September 2019.
Elsewhere on the night, Amanda Nunes will attempt to defend her Women’s Bantamweight title for the fifth time. She comes up against the American Julianna Pena. Full details of the fight card can be found below.
