What happened: Ariel Helwani announced the guest lineup for tonight's live show at City Winery NYC, featuring Dustin Poirier, Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson, Joe Pyfer and Kyle Daukaus. Doors open at 8 p.m. with the show going live at 8:30 p.m. ET. Helwani noted very limited tickets remained ahead of the taping.

Why it matters: The booking pulls together one of the sport's most popular retiring veterans in Poirier alongside Wonderboy and two rising middleweights, giving fans a rare in-person Q&A window. Live shows of this format frequently produce news-making quotes on fight bookings, retirement timelines and matchup callouts that move the conversation in the days that follow.

What to watch: Watch the live stream for any fresh booking news, retirement comments from Poirier, or callouts from Pyfer and Daukaus that could shape upcoming UFC cards.
