Dustin Poirier believes experience will play a part in the UFC 324 headliner.
Justin Gaethje will face Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title in the main event at UFC 324 on Saturday in Las Vegas. Poirier is backing his former foe, Gaethje, to beat Pimblett, who is the favorite. Poirier believes Gaethje’s experience of being in five-rounders and absolute wars will give him an advantage over Pimblett. Poirier believes Pimblett won’t be able to dodge Gaethje’s power for five rounds and will get finished inside the distance. While Poirier thinks Pimblett is a good fighter, he isn’t ready to board the Liverpudlian’s hype train unless he beats Gaethje.
