It’s not just the fans who enjoy wars inside the cage.
As Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier went to battle in the main event of UFC Glendale, they had plenty of their colleagues on the edge of their seats as well. In the end, Poirier emerged victorious after a brutal left hand in the fourth round, but only after having to suffer through three rounds of absolute hell — the kind of which only Gaethje can bring.
