The photos may suggest otherwise, but Dustin Poirier was actually the winner of Saturday’s UFC on FOX 29 headliner. In a network-televised bout at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz., Poirier (23-5 MMA, 15-4 UFC) went a little more than three rounds with a very game Justin Gaethje (18-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) to eventually score a fourth-round TKO victory . The lightweight thriller earned “Fight of the Night” honors (it was a pretty obvious choice, and don’t be surprised to see the matchup on many “Fight of the Year” lists as 2018 comes to a close).
