Dustin Poirier is finally back again after his tough loss to Justin Gaethje in UFC 291. The Diamond will take on the French rising star, Benoit Saint-Denis, in the co-main event of UFC 299 this Saturday. This will be a five-round non-title lightweight contest.
Sean O’Malley’s only MMA loss came to Marlon Vera in UFC 252, and he will be seeding revenge in the UFC 299 main event for the bantamweight championship. The co-main event will be between Dustin Poirier and Benoit Saint-Denis. The show will take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, United States, on March 9, 2024. The card will also have some exciting matchups like Kevin Holland vs Michael Page, Gilbert Burns vs Jack Della Maddalena, and Petr Yan vs Song Yadong.
Here are the odds for the winner of the MMA fight between Poirier and Saint-Denis:
The best UFC bookies have Benoit Saint-Denis as the slight favorite in this fight. The French fighter has an excellent MMA record of 13-1 (1 NC), and he is currently 12th on the UFC lightweight rankings. Saint-Denis is on a five-fight winning streak, and he will be trying to keep his great form here against the struggling Poirier.
Dustin Poirier will be an underdog for the first time since his first fight with Conor McGregor at UFC 257. The Diamond has a 29-8 (1 NC) MMA record, and he has been struggling lately, losing two of his last three fights. Poirier is still the third-ranked lightweight fighter, and he will be trying to get back on track with a big win. Dustin is a good underdog to bet on here.
