“I’m a competitor, so I always want the chance to make up for a loss. I lost to this guy before and I can't go 0-2. Being the competitor that I am, I will not accept that. I will give my all, as I always do. I’m going to give maximum effort and try to be perfect,” Gaethje said.
The first duel between Poirier and Gaethje took place in May 2018. On that occasion, 'Diamante' got the better of 'The Highlight' and knocked out his rival in the fourth round.
