At the weigh-ins Porier looked confident and promised a good show. I remember exactly that he said that it's gonna be blood and guts, but ended with stars over his head.
Anyway, the form of both fighters was good. Poirier started better with that good eye jab in the first round. He managed to cut Gaethie in the first minute, but that kick in the 2nd landed straight on the chin and neck. He was more technical in this fight with better boxing, but sometimes a single hit takes you down. It's interesting how he threw that kick just half a second after the punch. Basically right punch and right kick at the same time to blindside the opponent.
For the fight for the BMF championship belt yesterday, I still can't believe Justin Poirier was defeated by Gaethje in the second round, but if you look at Gaethje's kick, it is indeed very strong and whoever gets hit by the kick will definitely fall. .
The two fighters met quite brutally, but unfortunately Poirier, who had been believed to be the winner, actually lost badly.
Now the BMF title is held by Gaethje and perhaps he can be a worthy challenger for the lightweight title currently held by Islam Makhachev.
If Gaethje fights Islam Makhachev then I'm sure the fight will be even more exciting and of course many people will come in droves to watch the two champions in their respective classes fight for the title.
