Dustin Poirier & Justin Gaethje preview their BMF title fight at UFC 291 | DC & RC

career in this. Utah, July 29, is life or death for you, or do you ever look at things like that? Yeah, I wouldn't. Consider we know I'm obviously planning on winning, but even you know I don't want to put myself in a position where I have to think if I lose, but I can't imagine, uh, the fire's not out. you know when I talk when I talk in that hyperbole I'm talking about the future and I'm talking about the reality of the situation in 35

fight

s in a career I'm 34 years old uh there are many examples of going too far and I have people around me that love me and they're going to avoid that and I trust them and when they want to have that conversation I'll listen to it but for now we're full steam ahead I mean there's this is a journey of a lifetime a lifetime of a lifetime um just work I've been working for so long We've all been working for so long and uh yeah, this is a fun race I thank God every day for the journey that I've been looking for the opportunity to inspire the world, uh, winning or losing, so yeah, I'm excited for another chance to get out there and put it online.

NDP, there are no thoughts of the end for you at this point in your career, not true. I try not to focus on it, I mean, I know it's coming, it's inevitable, you know, Father Time is undefeated, but I've been like Justin said, I've been

fight

ing for a long time, this is my 47th mixed martial arts fight and Uh, we. I'll see, no, I don't look that far ahead, one fight at a time, you know, after July 29th we assessed the situation and went from there, but I still feel great, my body feels good, my mind feels good, I still love.

What do I do while that's there? I'm still here guys, how does the fight end on July 29? Dustin, can you take this guy down again? A guy who doesn't really finish and does it and Justin, how do you change the outcome? the first time because there is a lot at stake in this one, it's more than just the belt because whoever wins this one really shows who has one of the toughest motherfuckers on the entire planet because we know what you two are capable of, can you? Take down this guy again, Dustin Fourier and then Justin, how do you change the outcome?

I can finish him again at 100 if I can finish anyone in the world at 155 pounds. I just have to be in the right middle space, ready to act, you know, it's 25. minutes to do it and July 29th bro. I'm going to be brilliant there, man. I'm telling you what you asked me. I just asked you how do you change the result, how do you change what happened in the first fight, how. Do you beat a guy who has proven to do something that has been so difficult to not only beat you but also finish? Yeah, I mean, every fight is its own, it's his, you know, that was five years ago.

Again, I don't. I think that's a factor that I won't watch that fight. The UFC made me watch it the other day and it's a tremendously fun fight to watch, but you know, like I said, I felt like an idiot and, you know, but Well, that's the challenge we face every time, every fight is so different. I fought all the bears like an ADA, that was two fights ago. I fought the perfect last fight. I fought the perfect pre-Oliveira fight against Chandler, so it's each of These are different circumstances, a different time and, it's only 25 minutes on July 29, that's all that matters.

What could have happened? I don't know, you know, I'm preparing for 25 minutes of hell because I know I'm fighting a dog and I know I'll never give up and he knows it so I'm sure we'll both be as prepared as we can be. You know, guys, you have two of the toughest men walking for God. Green Earth will fight for the BMF Championship on July 29, but it doesn't end there. This PPV card is absolutely packed from these guys fighting to the co-main event to the fight that kicks off the UFC 291 card. It's going to be an absolute hit from Salt Lake City, but all you have to do, guys, It's looking at the marquee and when you see Dustin Fourier and when you see Justin Gaichi, hit the buy button because these guys guarantee fireworks, guys.
