Conor McGregor hasn't failed a drug test, but Justin Gaethje has once again claimed that he uses steroids. The Highlight defeated Dustin Poirier with a head kick at UFC 291 to record his finest victory to date and claim Jorge Masvidal's former BMF [Baddest Motherf*****] championship. Post-fight, McGregor took to social media and expressed his desire to skip a fight against Michael Chandler and instead face Gaethje when he returns from his two-year injury layoff. “Justin, I’ll slap you around,” he tweeted. “I’m the real bmf, he can fight for pennies if he wants but I want spirits, I call the shots, I’m in it to launch shots, f*** chandler, you want it call for it.” Gaethje was asked about McGregor’s Twitter activity during his post-fight press conference and refused to rule out fighting MMA’s biggest star. "I think he's turned me down six times," he said. “Usually, you have to lose to fight him, so I don't know what's going on. “I don't know, you know I don't really care, I don't really care. “Whatever, I fight MMA. I like to fight big fights and I like exciting things - it sounds pretty exciting to me.” However, he insisted a fight between him and McGregor will not happen unless the former dual-weight champion rejoins USADA and proves he’s a clean athlete. “I’m not going to fight someone on steroids,” Gaethje added. “I’ve never taken steroids in my life, never will. Well, maybe when I retire I might. I’ve never taken steroids and I don’t want to fight someone who is cheating. “I probably shouldn’t say that [because] I want the fight, but it’s the truth.”

If Kevin Holland can keep the fight standing, he always puts on a thrilling show. While competing as a middleweight, his wrestling shortcomings were clear. In Salt Lake City, at UFC 291, Holland participated. To pacify his detractors, he shockingly crushed Michael Chiesa in the opening round. He made jokes about his future, which included eating steak and having sex, after the fight. "I only came down to 170 for a BMF belt. If there’s going to be no BMF at 170, I’m gonna ship my black ass back to 185. I like to eat steaks and have sex to make weight.” Fight fans and the commentary team were surprised to hear such a revelation from the American fighter. It is safe to say that Holland was a decent addition to the PPV card." Holland said after the fight. Against Chiesa, Holland showed off his growth as a fighter. Chiesa is a skilled wrestler and ground fighter. All of Chiesa's takedown attempts were met with resistance from Holland. Holland demonstrated how his grappling defence has improved. He hit Chiesa with more blows before dropping him. Holland then submitted Chiesa with a D'Arce choke, forcing him to submit by tapping out. With these losses, Chiesa might be leaving the UFC. Vicente Luque and Sean Brady defeated him. Now his third straight defeat came at the hands of Kevin Holland. Chiesa might eventually retire if things do not go his way. After defeating Michael Chiesa, Kevin Holland said he wanted the BMF belt. However, it no longer remains in the welterweight division. Hence, Holland reiterated his desire to fight in the middleweight division again. The American fighter had spoken about not wanting to cut all that much weight earlier this year.

Derrick Lewis left the crowd at UFC 291 in awe with a thunderous 33-second knockout, and he wasn't shy about celebrating his historic victory.

Reflecting on the highlight-reel knockout, Lewis revealed that his coach had been training him on the flying knee for years, though he never thought it would connect until that fateful Saturday night. "Hell no, I just said I’m going to throw some bulls*** and see if it lands," Lewis quipped about the knockout. "It’s a long time coming. I’ve been wanting to hit motherf***** for two years now. I finally hit somebody. I’m happier than a motherf*****." The resounding victory snapped Lewis' three-fight losing streak, bringing his UFC contract to a thrilling close. However, the fighter expressed his desire to continue with the promotion, hoping for another opportunity in the Octagon. "We’ll see [what’s next]," Lewis declared. "I’m a free agent now.

In a fight anticipated to be a collision between two ferocious warriors, Justin Gaethje showcased his relentless prowess, proving why he reigns as the baddest in the game. At UFC 291, Gaethje unleashed a jaw-dropping head kick that floored Dustin Poirier at 1:00 of Round 2, crowning himself the second-ever BMF champion. The electrifying lightweight main event unfolded at Salt Lake City's Delta Center. The decisive high kick was artfully masked behind a powerful punch, though Poirier managed to partially block it with his arm. Yet, Gaethje's unstoppable force shattered through the defense, sending Poirier tumbling backward. A swift follow-up punch from Gaethje further sealed the deal, prompting referee Herb Dean to gracefully wave off the battle. The stoppage came after a tightly contested first round. Poirier, at one point, managed to stun Gaethje with a punch. However, throughout the opening five minutes, Gaethje relentlessly hammered Poirier with devastating leg kicks, perhaps planting a seed of doubt in his opponent's mind, which may have contributed to the critical mistake. This fight wasn't the first encounter between Gaethje and Poirier. Back in April 2018, Poirier emerged victorious over Gaethje in a back-and-forth brawl. Now, over five years later, Gaethje avenges that loss, proudly wearing the BMF championship belt, previously held by Jorge Masvidal, who made a special appearance during the official announcement at UFC 291. Following back-to-back triumphs, Gaethje boldly declared his intentions to challenge the winner of the champion clash between Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira, headlining UFC 294 in October. As for Poirier, this marks his second defeat in the last three fights. A gritty competitor, UFC 291 saw him taste his third TKO defeat of his career. In a spectacular display of skill, Gaethje's stunning head kick knockout has cemented his status as the baddest motherf*cker in the sport, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his next challenge in the Octagon.

Bobby Green scored the biggest win of his career by submitting Tony Ferguson in the last round of their lightweight bout at UFC 291. Green dominated the striking exchanges and controlled the ground game, before locking in an arm triangle choke that rendered Ferguson unconscious at 4:54 of Round 3. The fight started with Green using his speed and movement to land quick punches and kicks on Ferguson, who tried to close the distance and take him down. Green defended well and kept the fight standing, where he had the advantage. Ferguson landed a right hand that dropped Green momentarily, but Green recovered and resumed his attack. The round was briefly paused due to an accidental eye poke by Ferguson, but Green was cleared to continue by the doctor. The second round was more of the same, as Green outstruck Ferguson with his superior accuracy and timing. He also stuffed Ferguson’s takedown attempts and punished him with heavy ground and pound when he ended up on top. Green showed no respect for Ferguson’s guard and landed some vicious elbows and punches that bloodied Ferguson’s face. The third round was the most competitive one, as Ferguson showed his trademark toughness and heart by walking forward and throwing bombs. He connected with a few solid shots that rocked Green, but Green fired back with his own combinations. Ferguson tried to roll for a leg lock, but Green escaped and took his back. He then transitioned to an arm triangle choke and squeezed hard until Ferguson went limp. The referee stopped the fight just before the final horn. Green celebrated his 30th professional win and his first submission victory in over a decade. He improved his record to 30-14-1 in MMA and 11-9-1 in the UFC. He also extended his unbeaten streak to six fights, after winning four and drawing one in his previous five outings. Green is now one of the top contenders in the lightweight division, and he called out Dustin Poirier for his next fight. Ferguson suffered his sixth straight loss, as he remains winless since 2019. He dropped his record to 25-9 in MMA and 15-7 in the UFC. He lost to some of the best fighters in the division, such as Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira, Beneil Dariush, Michael Chandler, Nate Diaz, and now Green. Ferguson is still a fan favorite and a legend of the sport, but he will need to make some changes if he wants to get back to his winning ways.

Alex Pereira, the former middleweight champion, made a successful debut in the light heavyweight division by edging out Jan Blachowicz, the former light heavyweight champion, in a split decision at UFC 291. The fight was a back-and-forth affair, with Blachowicz dominating the ground game and Pereira landing more strikes on the feet. The judges scored the fight 29-28, 28-29 and 29-28 in favor of Pereira, who may have earned himself a title shot with this win. The first round was clearly in Blachowicz’s favor, as he took down Pereira early and controlled him on the mat for most of the round. He threatened with a rear-naked choke and landed some punches from the back mount. Pereira showed good defense and patience, but he was unable to get back to his feet until the final seconds of the round. The second round was more competitive, as Pereira started to find his range with his jab and kicks. He also defended Blachowicz’s takedown attempts better and managed to get back up quickly when he was taken down. Pereira increased his output and pressure as the round went on, and landed some hard shots that rocked Blachowicz. He also cut Blachowicz’s eye with an elbow. Blachowicz tried to fire back, but he looked tired and hurt. The third round was the decisive one, as both fighters knew they needed to win it to secure the victory. Pereira continued to be more aggressive and active on the feet, while Blachowicz looked for openings to counter or clinch. Pereira landed some crisp left hands that snapped Blachowicz’s head back, while Blachowicz landed some leg kicks that slowed down Pereira’s movement. With less than a minute left, Blachowicz finally got a takedown and ended the fight on top of Pereira, landing some elbows and punches. The fight was close and could have gone either way, but two of the judges gave it to Pereira, who improved his record to 8-2 in MMA and 5-1 in the UFC. He also extended his winning streak to four fights in the light heavyweight division, after losing his middleweight title to Israel Adesanya in a rematch at UFC 287. Pereira is now one of the top contenders for the vacant light heavyweight title, which will be decided between Dominick Reyes and Jiri Prochazka at UFC 293. Blachowicz suffered his second loss in his last four fights, dropping his record to 29-10-1 in MMA and 12-7-1 in the UFC. He lost his light heavyweight title to Glover Teixeira at UFC 267 in 2021, but bounced back with a TKO win over Aleksandar Rakic and a draw against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 282. Blachowicz is still one of the best fighters in the division, but he will need to work his way back up to get another title shot. The co-main event of UFC 291 was an exciting and close fight that showcased the skills and heart of both fighters. Alex Pereira proved that he can hang with the best in the light heavyweight division, while Jan Blachowicz showed that he is still a tough and dangerous opponent for anyone. The fans were treated to a high-level and competitive fight that could have gone either way.
