Dustin Poirier is preparing himself for a head-on collision with Justin Gaethje.
Not many fighters would choose to throw themselves into the fiery wreckage of what is sure to be a car crash inside the cage, but those are the moments where men like Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje thrive. The two high-octane lightweights are scheduled to square off in a rematch five years in the making as they headline the promotion’s return to Salt Lake City on July 29.
With a little more than eight weeks before the cage door closes behind them, Dustin Poirier spoke with Ariel Helwani to explain why he would jump back into the fire with an explosive fighter like Justin Gaethje.
