Prediction and analysis for the fight UFC 291 Dustin Poirier – Justin Gaethje
The fight for the BMF belt is a very pretentious event, but it is doubtful in sporting terms. And yet it’s clearly not worth missing, bored fighters can’t watch it and the show will be provided to the audience. Suffice it to recall that the previous meeting between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje was recognized by many authoritative publications as the fight of the year.
This fight is unmissable:
Terence Crawford-Errol Spence. Boxing holidays and unexpected outcome
It was five years ago, when both fighters were gaining momentum and were considered title contenders. Poirier knocked out Justin in the fourth round, then repeated this trick with Eddie Alvarez and defeated Max Holloway via decision, winning the interim title. Khabib prevented Dustin from becoming a full-fledged champion by choking him in the third round.
Makhachev commented on the announcement of a rematch with Oliveira.
Gati didn’t grieve for long after the loss to Brilliant. He continued a series of four victories in a row, he also became interim champion, but a little later. After that, Justin fought less often than usual, but was able to challenge for the championship belt again, however, again without success.
In the fight with Charles Oliveira, the American was not like him and lost even faster than Khabib. So it seemed that Gati had already exhausted himself and would have no more options for the title. A year later, Justin met up-and-coming Rafael Fiziev, ostensibly wanting to include him in the championship race, but Highlight mixed up all the cards for the matchmakers.
Ferguson will lose again:
Tony Ferguson – Bobby Green. It’s time for El Cucuy to finish his career
He showed himself perfectly in the fight with Fiziev, thoughtlessly went into a booth less, clearly worked according to plan, was able to confidently take the victory and keep his place in the UFC elite. Meanwhile, Poirier beat Conor McGregor twice, making a lot of money from it, and also unsuccessfully fought Oliveira in a title fight.
McGregor’s manager has revealed when the Irishman intends to return to MMA.
It’s not entirely clear what the winner of this fight will receive, other than the BMF belt, and whether this will get him any closer to a lightweight title fight. If Makhachev beats Oliveira again, it is very possible that Gaethje or Poirier will have a new opportunity, because neither of them has fought the current champion yet.
Yes, Poirier ran over Conor twice and recently choked out Michael Chandler, but Highlight is far more dangerous than these rivals. He began to develop, to think more about the time of the battle, finally began to connect the fight, but did not refuse the usual uncompromising felling.
But Poirier seems to have rusted after good earnings and fights with the stars. With age, the Diamond already began to lose mobility and speed, and this was his main trump card, for which he knocked out Gati. Highlight can sometimes unpleasantly surprise you, and in technique she is inferior to his opponent, but she has become more experienced and versatile. So let’s bet on Justin for 2.29.
Tender: victory for Justin Gati by 2.29.
Express with a coefficient of 8.98.
Aspinall: I don’t think the fight with Pavlovich makes sense now.
The UFC announced the fight between Volkov and Tuivasa.
Donald Trump: Khabib Nurmagomedov was great.
Ankalaev will fight at UFC 294.
