SALT LAKE CITY – The UFC 291 fight card is now official following Friday’s weigh-in session where 22 of the 24 fighters successfully hit their marks on the scale.
Saturday’s event, which takes place at Delta Center with a main card that airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC, ESPN and ESPN+, is headlined by a “BMF” title fight.
Dustin Poirier (29-7 MA, 21-6 UFC) beat fellow former interim titleholder Justin Gaethje (24-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) by fourth-round TKO in their initial meeting in April 2018, and now they will run it back with the “BMF” strap up for grabs to cap off a stack fight card.
