UFC 269: Oliveira vs. Poirier Full Card Preview
The final pay-per-view card of a jam-packed 2021 has arrived, and it’s a doozy! At the top of the card is perhaps one of the best championship fights, in terms of talent alone, ever.

The Saturday, Dec. 11, card, located at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, is scheduled to start at 6:15 p.m. ET on ESPN+. Matt and Craig go live on YouTube with Question Mark Kicks two hours before the prelims begin.
