The stakes are high for the main card rumble at UFC 291 as Justin Gaethje takes on Dustin Poirier in an intense scuffle. Over the years, both have claimed to be the UFC’s most aggressive men. But who will ride high? as Poirier and Gaethje aim to resolve the debate at UFC 291 on Saturday in Salt Lake City, Utah, with the ceremonial BMF title on the line.

Considering the clash it was decided that UFC legend and inaugural BMF champion Jorge Masvidal will place the belt around the winner’s waist. This specific fact appeared to delight ‘The Highlight’, as he said something intriguing about Masvidal on the UFC 291 media day.

Justin Gaethje’s hankerings considering Jorge Masvidal

The entire scenario became wicked when Gaethje’s remarks on Masvidal resurfaced on the MMA Fighting On SBN YouTube channel. Gaethje seemed to throw shades on Masvidal when a doubt was put in front of him. The Journalist asked him, “It seems like the plan is to have Jorge Masvidal wrap the belt around the winner here but he is a team mate of Dustin he says he think Dustin is going to win. Do you even want him to do that if you win this fight?”

Addressing the journalist, Gaethje answered, expressing his desire, “Yeah! I want to make him do it. That will be nice. Because I know he will hate it, so I will love it that much more.”

Gaethje expressed his strong determination to win the bout against Poirier. This triumph will surely make Masvidal take the undesirable action of putting the belt on his waist. He even mentioned finding extra enjoyment in the situation, knowing Masvidal’s reluctance to do the same. Gaethje has also expressed his road to the championship glory in the past. Shooting the breeze about the contest, ‘Gamebred’ had also predicted Poirier to win the upcoming bout previously.

Masvidal predicts a favorite

Guess what? Masvidal has hailed Poirier in the past, considering his upcoming bout at UFC 291. In support of his teammate, Jorge Masvidal offered his prediction for the UFC 291 main event. He said this while chatting with Chamatkar Sandhu on his YouTube Channel.

He said, “From what I know from Dustin, man, he’s got some new tricks up his sleeve that are just looking very, very clean in practice and I think Dustin’s gonna surprise a lot of people in this fight and I don’t think people will be surprised that he wins. The training that I’ve been seeing him doing and how he’s been doing in the gym, he looks amazing. What I’ve been hearing from the coaches as well. I think he’s gonna paint a Picasso.”

‘Gamebred’ broke it wide open that ‘The Diamond’ is surely going to shock the enthusiasts as well as Gaethje. He predicted that the same scenes from 2018 will be replicated.
