The night before UFC 291, Dana White took social media by storm by releasing a new promo for the much-anticipated ‘BMF’ title fight between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. Adding to the excitement, this rematch promises to be a thrilling sequel to their previous 2018 Fight of the Year encounter, only this time with the UFC’s coveted BMF title at stake which became vacant after the retirement of its previous holder, Jorge Masvidal.
Taking place on Saturday at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, the fight has taken an exciting turn with the UFC not holding back in its promotions. In an unexpected twist, the UFC has engaged the services of none other than Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion, to voice the final promo leading up to the big fight. This move is seen as a testament to the significance of the fight and the prestige of the BMF title up for grabs.
Aside from the main event, UFC 291 has an equally engaging light heavyweight matchup scheduled for Sunday. This match will see former champion Jan Blachowicz take on Alex Pereira, the ex-middleweight champ making his debut in the 205-pound category inside the octagon.
