Poirier goes into the fight on the back of a recent victory against Dan Hooker.
He said that he isn't looking for payback against McGregor, after the 2014 fight.
Poirier told This Past Weekend: "This isn’t about payback. This isn’t a revenge fight for me. Of course those things are great.
"I go out there and beat him, those are all part of this storyline, [they’re] things I’m going to think about and be happy with, but that’s not the driving force of each day."
