UFC 291: Best Finishes Of The Fighters From Dustin Poirier vs Justin Gaethje Card
When it comes to the headliners Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje, it’s impossible not to mention Poirier’s impressive track record, particularly his unforgettable finishes against Conor McGregor. But it’s worth noting that one of Poirier’s most outstanding performances was his first fight against Gaethje, where he emerged victorious after an intense three-round battle that showcased his exceptional skills in the octagon.
After three rounds of intense action, it was the fourth round that brought the knockout in the Poirier vs. Gaethje fight. Gaethje charged forward, entering Poirier’s range, but Poirier remained composed and landed a devastating counter-left straight to Gaethje’s chin. The blow visibly shook Gaethje, and Poirier seized the opportunity, unleashing a flurry of punches that ultimately led to the fight’s finish. It was a moment that will undoubtedly go down in UFC history.
Justin Gaethje is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with, having proven his mettle in the octagon time and time again. Notably, he’s one of only two fighters who has ever won a round against the legendary Khabib Nurmagomedov. Gaethje’s most impressive finish, however, was undoubtedly his defeat of James Vick, which left Vick reeling and calling it the “worst night of his life.”
Despite Vick’s height and reach advantage over Gaethje, Gaethje emerged victorious with a stunning one-punch knockout in the first round of their bout at UFC Fight Night 135 in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Alex Pereira and Jan Blachowicz Best Finishes
There is no point in guessing Pereira’s illustrious career, one extraordinary moment stands above the rest, is undoubtedly his first encounter with Israel Adesanya. Over the course of four intense rounds, Adesanya showcased his dominance, delivering a thunderous blow at the end of the opening round that nearly brought Pereira to his knees.
But driven by an unyielding will to triumph, Pereira tapped into his inner reservoir of strength and unleashed a breathtaking conclusion in the closing moments of the fight, leaving spectators mesmerized by his unwavering determination and masterful finesse.
In the decisive #1 contender’s bout, Corey Anderson stood on the cusp of earning a coveted shot at the Light Heavyweight Championship, only needing one more victory to solidify his opportunity. However, his aspirations were met with a devastating blow as Jan Blachowicz, the Polish fighter, delivered a brutal first-round knockout, dashing Anderson’s hopes of a title shot.
