Charles Oliveira vs. Dustin Poirier: UFC 269 date, fight time, TV channel and live stream

After beating Conor McGregor in their rematch at UFC 257, Dustin Poirier had the chance to have his next fight for the vacant lightweight title against Charles Oliveira at UFC 262. However, Poirier bypassed the offer and wanted the trilogy affair to settle the score with McGregor. Poirier stopped combat sports' marquee attraction at UFC 264 when the Irishman broke his leg at the end of the first round. 

On Saturday, "The Diamond" looks to do what he turned down in the spring when he challenges Oliveira for the 155-pound belt in the main event of UFC 269 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The co-main event features women's dual champion and the greatest woman — and perhaps the overall best fighter — to ever put on the four-ounce gloves, Amanda Nunes, defending her bantamweight title against Julianna Pena.

Oliveira is on a run for the ages. He's won nine consecutive fights, with an astonishing eight of them coming inside the distance. "Do Bronx" captured the vacant lightweight title defeating Michael Chandler via second-round TKO. Chandler nearly finished Oliveira in the first round and looked to be moments away from winning UFC gold. Instead, Oliveira persevered, survived the stanza, and finished Chandler early in the second. 

These are without question, the two best lightweights in the world. However, the battle for the top of the mountain will be settled at a loaded UFC 269.
