Former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje shared his expectations from the fight with Dustin Poirier, which will take place on July 29 at the UFC 291 tournament. At stake in this meeting will be the so-called BMF belt (“The Most Dangerous Bastard”).

“Each fight has new unique circumstances, and everything will depend on who performs better during the 25 minutes that we will be allotted on July 29th.

I am preparing for five rounds of hell because I understand that I will fight a real beast. I know that I will never give up, and he knows it too. Therefore, I am sure that we will both prepare as best we can, ”quotes the American BJ Penn.
