Gaethje called Poirier the ideal opponent for Saint-Denis

Justin Gaethje, the former interim UFC lightweight champion, spoke out about the recently announced fight between Dustin Poirier And Benoit Saint Denis. Gaethje believes Poirier is the ideal opponent for the Frenchman.

“Benoit didn’t come from nowhere, but he’s just starting to assert himself in big fights. I love that he called me out. I think Poirier is the perfect opponent for him. This is someone he must overcome,” Justin said.

The confrontation between Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint-Denis will take place on March 9 in Miami as part of the 299th UFC event.

Let us remember that Gaethje previously gave a forecast for Poirier’s fight with Saint-Denis, saying that Benoit could win this fight.
