Following an action packed UFC 291 card on Saturday, The Fighter vs. The Writer returns with UFC legend Matt Brown and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin discussing the fallout from fights. In the main event, Justin Gaethje pulled off a stunning head kick knockout to finish Dustin Poirier in the second round to cement himself as the No. 1 contender in the lightweight division. With that win, Gaethje now awaits the winner of Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliviera but what about Conor McGregor’s call out afterwards? We’ll also discuss what’s next for Poirier and the chances that Saturday night could potentially serve as his final appearance. Brown also offers advice to Tony Ferguson for his future after he suffered a sixth straight loss in his fight against Bobby Green. Beyond UFC 291, we’ll also discuss the upcoming boxing match between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz and who has the edge going into that 10 round fight.
