Live from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, it’s a rematch of epic proportions as Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje collide at UFC 291!
In April 2018, Gaethje defeated Poirier in a classic bout at a UFC on Fox event. Later tonight, the two collide in a hotly anticipated rematch for the UFC’s BMF belt. Gaethje enters the octagon with a 24-4 record, last defeating Rafael Fiziev in March 2023 at UFC 286. The man known as “The Diamond” is 29-7, last vanquishing Michael Chandler in November 2022 at UFC 281. Will Gaethje make it 2-0 against Poirier? Time will tell.
Also on the card, Jan Blachowicz and Alex Pereira square off in the co-main event, Stephen Thompson battles Michel Pereira, and Tony Ferguson takes on Bobby Green. Decider’s here to make sure you don’t miss a minute of the action. From start time to live stream info, here’s how to watch UFC 291 live on ESPN+.
