Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje delivered as advertised at UFC on Fox 29.
The lightweights went toe-to-toe for more than three rounds on Saturday night at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, but ultimately it was Poirier who emerged with a technical knockout victory 33 seconds into the fourth stanza. “The Diamond” has lost just once in nine Ultimate Fighting Championship appearances since 2015, while Gaethje will go back to the drawing board with the first two-fight skid of his promotional tenure.
