Dustin Poirier’s Training Partner Drops Shocking Retirement Talks After Justin Gaethje BMF Fight at UFC 291

The BMF title is back. UFC legend Jorge Masvidal was the first winner of this title. However, he never defended the belt, and in the wake of his retirement, the BMF title became vacant. This prompted Dana White to reinstate the belt and put it up for grabs in the main event of UFC 291. Now, Poirier and Gaethje will battle for the BMF belt while Renato Moicano shared his thoughts about the fight in a recent YouTube video.

Lightweight stars Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje will battle each other for the vacant BMF title in the upcoming UFC 291 pay-per-view. With many people excited to watch them fight, Poirier’s training partner and fellow lightweight Renato Moicano predicted that the loser of that fight might consider retirement.
