Introducing the ‘UFC 291 Countdown’ video, where you can delve deep into the highly anticipated top two fights set to take place on Saturday’s pay-per-view event at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
The main event will feature an exciting rematch between two fan favorites, Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. Their first encounter took place at a UFC on FOX event in April 2018, where Poirier emerged victorious with a fourth-round TKO. This clash earned both fighters the prestigious Fight of the Night award. Now, five years later, they are ready to face off once again, with the winner vying for a chance at the coveted UFC lightweight title.
In the co-main event, former middleweight champion Alex Pereira will be moving up to the 205-pound division to take on former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz.
