UFC 291: Poirier vs Gaethje 2 – Fight card, start times & how to watch

Publicerat

This saturday UFC 291 goes down in Salt lake City, Utah and a new BMF champion will be crowned in the main event as fan favourites and former interim lightweight champions Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje meet in a rematch from their Fight of the Year candidate in 2018.

Poirier has won four out of his last five fight, with the lone loss coming via submission to the former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira. He most recently bested Michael Chandler, scoring a third round rear naked choke. Gaethje has won two out of three, with his loss also coming to Oliveira, and defeated Rafael Fiziev in hs most recent outing.

A pivotal light heavyweight battle is set for the co-main event as former champ Jan Blachowicz welcomes former middleweight champion Alex Pereira to the division.

Aside from that Stephen ”Wonderboy” Thompson will face Michel Pereira in a fan friendly welterweight battle and veterans Tony Ferguson and Bobby Green will duke it out in a fight where the loser most likely leaves the UFC.
