SALT LAKE CITY –  Justin Gaethje knows it’ll be something of a coin toss when he steps in the octagon with Dustin Poirier again in the UFC 291 main event, but he’s going to do everything in his power to sway the result his way. After suffering a fourth-round TKO loss to Poirier (29-7 MMA, 21-6 UFC) in their initial encounter in the 2018 Fight of the Year, Gaethje (24-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) will get his shot at revenge in Saturday’s “BMF” title headliner, which takes place at Delta Center and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC, ESPN and ESPN+. Gaethje has had nearly five years to sit on that defeat and build on his skillset. Over that time, he thinks he’s put himself in the best possible position to win this rematch
