The top of the UFC on FOX 29 billing witnessed top lightweight Dustin Poirier wage complete and total war with Justin Gaethje! Both men were down to war it out on the feet, as expected, with Gaethje scoring early with the leg kicks, and Poirier letting go with the hands. The second round was no different, each man letting it all hang out. Poirier landed so many punches, but so did his opponent, and Gaethje even landed a Rolling thunder Kick at the end of the second frame.
The third round opened with a heavy counter right from Gaethje that hurt Poirier, but another eye poke resulted in a point deduction for Gaethje.
