UFC 291 Poirier vs Gaethje [Official Discussion Thread]







Such a stacked card, can't believe Costa was on this before it got pulled.

Huge implications for the lightweight and welterweight divisions plus Jan B. vs Pereira sweet jesus!

Hope Lewis gets it done against De Lima and my parlays hit!!

My picks have been absolutely dreadful lately but why stop now

Gaethje
Jan
Wonderboy
TONY
Holland
Rogerio de Lima

I'm sticking by altitude being the deciding factor in the main event. If the fight was in Vegas I'd pick Dustin.

I'd love Pereira to win but I think Jan feels the power then sniffs crotch.

Wonderboy looked great in his last fight. Might be the best looking 40 year old itw, no homo.

Am I insane for picking Tony? I thought Bobby looked AWFUL in his last fight before the headbutt. Tony looked good against Chandler before the crazy KO. He was fat and out of shape against Nate. This might be extreme cope.

Holland probably finds a KO, Derrick Lewis is going to be gasping for air after 40 seconds.

Poirier (honestly the only way you can beat poirier is via sub. He murders everyone on the feet even in altitude)

Pereira (solely for the story. He wins this and then beats jiri for double champ and then retires as the goat striker in combat sports being 2 div champ in 2 different promotions)

Green (honestly can't believe the difference in fergy, going from winning against chandler in Rd 1 to looking like a 50 year old against diaz. He's so done it's just sad now)

Wonderboy (pereira gasses in 1 round)

Holland (just coz)

Lima (another pick em, but Lewis at altitude? He gases walking to the cage)

Bonfim (dudes a beast, young though)

I want Porier to win, but Gaethje in the first fight was giving him a run for his money. BUT I will say Porier was waiting to counter off Justin's inside leg kick and it paid off HUGE in the 4th round. Agree with you that no one is beating Dustin on the feet but I could see him losing a decision if he doesn't pressure Justin. Still have him winning.

Periera has a chance to win of course. He has a LHW frame. I'm just not sure how big Jan is coming in.

Agreed with wonderboy.

Holland

Never seen Bonfim but yeah I could see Derrick losing given his streak, but he seems like he's trimmed down and putting in the work.

Poirier and Gaethje is about a pickem as it gets. My gut says Gaethje.

Pretty rare to see a card this good in 2023. Even the undercard is pretty good.

Hope Tony gets his W today. A lot of people love to sh*t on him now, but he still has my respect for fighting during the peak of pandemic and not using excuses like a bitch ass Khabib did (who clearly couldn't make weight). Also I think he took it easy on Nate for his final fight.

100% he gave that fight to Nate.

Tony is one of the toughest dudes in ufc history and tapped sooo damn easy for nate. And then proceeds to celebrate with nate after.

That wasnt El Cucuy.


Ive got

Poirier
Jan
Tony
Holland
Lewis

Gonna be a good night.

Meh 10 bucks a month for about 20k tv channels from all over the world and all the series/movies/tv series/ppv stuff is a good enough deal.

They have free 24 hour trials if you wanna use it for tonight.
