UFC president Dana White is looking for an insurance policy for what could be the promotion’s biggest pay-per-view of the year. On July 10, Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor will square off in a trilogy fight set to headline UFC 264 , which will be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and serve as the UFC’s first full-capacity event held in “Sin City” since the COVID-19 pandemic took away that option in March 2020. With a lot riding on this card, White is in search of a backup fighter to replace Poirier (27-6 MMA, 19-5 UFC) or McGregor (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC) should one of them be unable to step inside the octagon. But so far, nothing is doing. “I’m actually looking for someone right now to be the backup on that card,” White told Bleacher Report .
