Former interim lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier has opened as a quite stark betting underdog largely across the board for his UFC 299 co-main event clash with Benoit Saint Denis in April – as the Lafayette native books his second consecutive five round clash.
Poirier, a former interim lightweight titleholder and current number three ranked divisional contender, most recently competed in the main event of UFC 291 back in July, taking on fellow former interim gold holder, Justin Gaethje in a symbolic BMF championship fight atop a Salt Lake City flagship card for the promotion.
