What time does UFC 291: Dustin Poirier vs. Justin Gaethje start?
The UFC returns to Salt Lake City, Utah this weekend with UFC 291. The event has 12 fights on the card with a main event that will crown a new BMF champion.
Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje had their first meeting in 2018, and that fight was considered one of the best of the year by many fight fans. Since then, 'The Diamond' and 'The Highlight Reel' have kept themselves busy with other contenders in the lightweight division avoiding each other. Now, five years after that highly-praised clash, the two meet once again - this time, for the BMF title.
Dustin Poirier has kept active in the last five years, being involved in two title fights and even reigniting his feud with Conor McGregor. The last time 'The Diamond' was in the octagon was at UFC 281 when he faced Michael Chandler and secured a third-round submission victory.
'The Highlight Reel' has been doing what he is known for, taking on the best that the lightweight division has to offer. It's not a long turnaround time for Justin Gaethje, as he was last in competition at UFC 286 against Rafael Fiziev. That fight ended in a majority decision win for Gaethje.
