Having previously handed fellow former interim lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje a back-and-forth TKO defeat in 2018, division contender, Dustin Poirier has opened as a slight betting favorite to defeat the Arizonian again – following the stunning announcement of a BMF championship rematch between the two at UFC 291 on July 29.
Poirier, the current #2 ranked lightweight contender, will attempt to land a second Octagon win over his fellow former interim gold holder, Gaethje, as the pair do battle once more in a re-run of their April 2018 UFC Fight Night Glendale showdown.
