Dustin Poirier‘s fight against fellow lightweight Justin Gaethje back in 2018 went down as one of the most violent and entertaining fights in the history of the promotion.

The main event that took place in April 2018 saw the two contenders square up in what many felt would be an entertaining bout; and entertaining it definitely was as the crowd got to experience a fight that people still chose to go back to every once in a while.

As expected, Gaethje’s leg kicks played a big part in the fight. Hurting ‘The Diamond’ multiple times, he even went on to wobble him once. Ultimately, despite getting hurt, Poirier displayed his grit and managed to finish the fight in the fourth with a flurry of strikes.
