American fighter Dustin Poirier spoke out about his upcoming rematch with compatriot Justin Gaethje, which will take place on the night of July 30 in Salt Lake City (USA) at UFC 291. Recall that the first fight Gaethje vs Poirier, held in 2018, Dustin won by technical knockout.
I mean, if it's a slower fight and a more technical fight, I think I win smoother there. I think his chance of beating me is the dogfight. If he tries to go technique for technique with me in the middle of the Octagon, I think that's where I'm gonna really shine.
