Prediction for the fight Dustin Poirier – Justin Gaethje
Former BMF belt holder Jorge Masvidal left his prediction for the next fight.
“I know Dustin has some new moves that look very, very convincing in training. And I think he will surprise a lot of people in this fight. People will be surprised. Dustin’s workouts, which I watched during his time at the gym, look amazing. I think he will paint a Picasso painting on Gati’s face ”, — quotes the words of Masvidal Sportskeeda.
In addition, former UFC champion in two weight classes, American veteran Henry Cejudo, shared his thoughts on the main fight of the night.
“Keys for Justin Gaethje… I was in the first fight and he will not reject kicks. Footwork is something to focus on.
The second key for Gaethje is protection. It is not enough to just raise your arms and stay within reach. You need to create space, kick and defend…she needs to find a way that she will be protected during the kick.
And the third key is the control of aggression. If he distributes his strength in five rounds, he will show himself well, ”Cejudo said as part of a broadcast on his YouTube channel.
