DUSTIN POIRIER and Charles Oliveira faced off for one last time ahead of their Las Vegas lightweight title fight.

Brazilian Oliveira will look to register the first defence of his 155lb strap against the former interim champ early on Sunday morning in the main event of UFC 269.

Both men had no trouble making weight for the T-Mobile Arena tussle, with champion Oliveira coming in at 155lbs on the nose and Poirier tipping the scales at 154.5lbs.

And they went face-to-face one last time a few hours after successfully weighing in for their lightweight barnburner.

The pair were briefly separated by UFC president Dana White before they went nose-to-nose.

Poirier will bid to become undisputed lightweight champion early on Sunday morning in the main event of UFC 269, where he'll lock horns with belt holder Charles Oliveira.

And The Diamond is determined to cap off his Hall-of-Fame career by finally getting his hands on undisputed UFC gold.

“If I can become the world champion Saturday night, I’ve done everything I set out to do.

“I’ve set my family up. We’re in a good position financially.
