Fight of the Year?
The lightweight headliner between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje went down today at UFC on FOX 29 at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
In the potential ‘Fight of the Year’ fight, Poirier scores a fourth-round TKO victory over former WSOF champ Gaethje.
The fight started out as planned, with Gaethje using his normal pressure to back Poirier up and Poirier firing back with absolutely pinpoint, varied boxing landing at an amazing clip. But “The Highlight” began landing a torrent of his trademark low kicks to the inside of ‘The Diamond’s’ inner right thigh.
From there, the two fighters began to throw down in the all-out slugfest expected of both men. Check out the impressive performance below:
