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.
Gaethje last fought against Rafael Fiziev in March of this year at UFC 286. In this confrontation, Justin won by split decision. He has 24 wins and four losses on his record.
Poirier last went into the octagon against Michael Chandler in November 2022 at UFC 281. That fight ended in Dustin's favor with a third-round submission. He has 29 wins and seven losses on his record.
