UFC 264 has Poirier vs. McGregor 3 online this Saturday night, and fans who also love Alexa need to figure out how to watch UFC 264 on Amazon Fire TV. Don’t wait until the fights are starting to make sure you have a streaming device you can rely on to stream the deciding fight in this epic trilogy. If you have a Fire TV device, you’ll find it simple to set everything up for the big fights.

On July 11, UFC 264 is broadcasting a night of MMA fights live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Pay-Per-View Main Event is headlined by two of the biggest names in the UFC fighting the decisive match of an epic trilogy.

Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier (27-6) is looking for a title shot, but first he’ll need to handle his business one more time against a big name rival. He will fight against “The Notorious” Conor McGregor (22-4) for the third time, and McGregor is looking for redemption after Poirier’s highlight knockout of Conor went viral. The winner should have next for UFC Lightweight champion Charles Oliveira, but nothing is guaranteed so they have to make the best of this headline spot.

Also Gilbert “Durinho” Burns (19-4) will have a showdown against Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson (16-4-1). Burns is coming off of a knockout loss to the UFC Welterweight champ Kamaru Usman, and he needs a big rebound. Thompson is a tough out, but with a 3-2 record in his last five fights he needs a big win if he wants to push through to a title shot of his own.
