UFC 291: Dana White announces the card with attacks from Brazilians Borrachinha and Poatan


North Americans battle it out for the “toughest” belt in the main event of the night

Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has announced a card full of big fights for UFC 291, which will take place on July 29 in Salt Lake City, USA. Brazilians Alex Poatan and Paulo Borrachinha will fight on the date.

Former middleweight champion Poatan will make his debut in the category up to 93 kg. The Brazilian faces Jan Blachowicz, former holder of the belt, in the co-main event of the evening. Paulo Borrachinha, in turn, faces the Russian Ikram Aliskerov. Borrachinha’s last fight took place in August last year and was a victory over American Luke Rockhold.

The main event of the evening will be between Americans Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje, a rematch for the “toughest fighter on the planet” belt.

In addition to Poatan and Borrachinha, two other Brazilians will be in action, but on preliminary paper. They are: Michel Pereira, facing Stephen Thompson, and Marcos Pezão, facing Derrick Lewis.
