Gaethje vs Poirier 2 Betting Odds
The main event of UFC 291 was announced earlier today, and it's a doozy: Dustin Poirier vs Justin Gaethje 2.
The fight will be a five-rounder and the winner will receive the vacant "BMF" title.
Poirier and Gaethje clashed at UFC on Fox: Poirier vs Gaethje in 2018, with Poirier winning via fourth round knockout. The fight was a tremendous one and certainly lived up to expectations.
-
There was no clear path to a Lightweight title shot for either Poirier or Gaethje right now, which made a fight for the "BMF" title come together.
With Michael Chandler and Conor McGregor set to scrap soon, the winner of Gaethje/Poirier 2 may very well get the winner of the Chandler/McGregor fight, meaning that there might be a massive payday on the line for Gaethje and Poirier.
-
Despite Poirier winning the first fight, Gaethje has opened as the slight favorite to win the rematch.
Here are the opening odds for the fight, courtesy of a major US sportsbook:
Dustin Poirier, +105
Justin Gaethje, -125
According to these odds, a successful $100 bet on Poirier would yield a total profit of $105, while a successful $125 bet on Gaethje would return a total of $100.

This should be an incredible fight.
