Dustin Poirier gave his thoughts on UFC 291 taking place the same night as Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terrence Crawford.
On July 29, Dustin Poirier will return to the Octagon. When he does, he will go head to head with Justin Gaethje for the vacant BMF Championship. The hope for ‘The Diamond’ is that a victory can put him back in the lightweight title conversation.
However, the UFC isn’t the only game in town that night. Plus, the Errol Spence Jr. collision will finally happen. and the long-awaited Terence Crawford. It’s a hell of an evening for combat sports fans, no matter what your preference is.

For Poirier, one of his biggest problems is that he won’t actually get to watch the fight.
“I don’t know if it will affect pay-per-views, I think fans might buy both,” Poirier said. “I’m kind of upset that I won’t be watching that live, I’m a huge boxing fan. For me, this is the Super Bowl.”
