Dustin Poirier is set to take on Benoit Saint-Denis in a five-round co-main event at UFC 299 on March 9, as announced by UFC CEO Dana White on January 7. Poirier's most recent appearance was in a rematch against Justin Gaethje for the BMF title, with Gaethje securing a second-round head kick knockout victory and retaining the UFC BMF championship.
In spite of a challenging start in his UFC debut, where he faced a lopsided beatdown from Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, Saint-Denis has experienced an impressive resurgence. The French fighter has secured five consecutive victories, all with finishes, against notable opponents like Ismail Bonfim, Thiago Moises, and Matt Frevola.
Given that the upcoming bout holds significance for BMF recognition, there's speculation that a victory for Saint-Denis could potentially lead to a matchup with the current BMF titleholder, Gaethje, as highlighted by White's comments.
