Two of the most vicious fighters in the world will fight it out to become the baddest motherf***** in the world this weekend at UFC 291.
This Sunday, Dustin Porier and Justin Gaethje will fight for the vacant BMF (baddest mother motherf****) belt, an unofficial and symbolic belt that was formerly held by the now retired Gorge Masvidal.
The lightweight rematch between two of the heaviest hitters, in the division will surely bring fireworks and both American fighters will be looking to take that revered belt in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Gaethje will likely be pulling out all the stops to defeat his rival Poirier, who defeated him in a slug fest that was widely voted by most media channels as the best UFC fight of 2018.
The fight will be hard to precede, however, Alex Pereira and Jan Błachowicz will be looking to give the fight a run for its money.
Both fighters have brutal knockout power and have both held UFC championship gold.
The Brazilian, Pereira, will be looking to make a statement after moving up a weight division from middleweight.
But those aren’t the only two fights in the main event that have fans in a tizzy, Stephen Thompson will also fight Michel Pereira.
Tony Ferguson will also return to the Octagon to fight Bobby Green in what is shaping up to be one of the most exciting fights on the card.
The loudmouthed Kevin Holland will also return to the cage this weekend to face Michael Chiesa in the first fight of the main card.
The prelims will also see an abundance of talent enter the cage, including Australian Welterweight Jake Matthews.
