Five years ago, Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje headlined a Fight Night card and delivered a violent performance that wowed UFC fans. Now, they are set to face off once again in a highly anticipated rematch at UFC 291 on July 29. This time, they will be fighting for the BMF Title, a symbolic belt representing a fighter’s toughness.

They have each gone 6-2 in their recent fights, with their only losses coming against top-tier opponents like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira.
