Former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje spoke about his victory by knockout over Dustin Poirier as part of the UFC 291 tournament, held on July 29 in Salt Lake City, USA.
The triumph in this fight brought the American a symbolic BMF belt (“The Coolest Bastard”) and made him one of the main contenders for the championship fight.
“I was captured by the moment and made a huge mistake when I fought Oliveira. If you look at the difference between my entry into this fight and the fight with Charles, then I seem to have become a different person.
I jumped up to the cage and sang a song, the words of which I didn’t even understand, and Poirier came out just agitated. Dustin went out to fight, and I showed him the ballet. It was the best thing I could do. I guarantee that this disappointed him and probably surprised him. It's good that everything worked out, ”Gati said in an interview with ESPN.
