UFC officials announced (Fri., Jan. 26, 2018) that two exciting matchups will take place at UFC on Fox 29, which is set for April 14 at Gila River Arena in Glendale.
The main event features a lightweight clash between Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier and Justin “The Highlight” Gaethje and former interim UFC welterweight champion Carlos “The Natural Born Killer” Condit takes on fan favorite “The Immortal” Matt Brown in the welterweight co-main.
Justin Gaethje suffered his career’s first loss after getting a third-round knocked out by former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 218 this past December
Dustin Poirier is riding high after scoring a TKO stoppage over former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis back at UFC Fight Night 120 back in November.
Condit returned after 16 months of hiatus and suffered a unanimous decision loss to Neil Magny at UFC 219.
Matt Brown, recently defeated veteran Diego Sanchez via knockout (elbow) back at UFC Fight Night 120 to claim his first win since 2015. Brown announced his retirement after besting Sanchez but apparently had second thoughts when Condit was offered as an opponent.
