Ahead of his upcoming BMF title rematch with fellow former interim lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier at UFC 291 this weekend, fan-favorite veteran, Justin Gaethje has promised a “car crash for the ages” in their Salt Lake City rematch.
Gaethje, who makes his second Octagon walk of the year this weekend in Utah, looks to avenge a 2018 knockout loss to Poirier, most recently landing a close, majority decision win over Rafael Fiziev in the pair’s UFC 286 co-headliner back in March in London.
As for Poirier, the current number two ranked lightweight contender, has been sidelined since he featured on he main card of UFC 281 back in November at Madison Square Garden, defeating common-opponent, Michael Chandler in a third round rear-naked choke victory.
