Justin Gaethje Becomes The New BMF Champion
1 year agoJustin Gaethje knocked Dustin Poirier out cold with a stunning head kick on Saturday, winning their rematch at UFC 291 and claiming the BMF title. Emerging victorious in their first encounter was Poirier via TKO. Five years after suffering a TKO loss to Poirier, Gaethje looked like a completely different fighter, getting the better of most of the exchanges in the first round. In the second round, Gaethje landed a thunderous head kick, knocking out Poirier. In six minutes of action, Gaethje landed 41 significant strikes. Gaethje is in a perfect position to challenge next for the lightweight title once again after Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira meet for the second time in October.
