Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier and Justin Gaethje lived up to the expectation that they would put together a classic slugfest. Poirier emerged victorious via fourth-round TKO after an absolute war to close out the show at UFC on Fox 29 in Glendale, Arizona.
The UFC showed the beginning of the end for Gaethje:
UFCOH MY GOD DUSTIN POIRIER!!! #UFCGlendale https://t.co/i7QVcWxpWa
The two high-action fighters came out swinging. Gaethje chose to attack with leg kicks early, while Poirier focused on putting together boxing combinations. The Diamond was effective in landing his combinations, but Gaethje remained in his face and cut Poirier's base with leg kicks.
