Khabib Nurmagomedov’s trainer Javier Mendez believes Dustin Poirier is the favourite in his UFC 291 rematch against Justin Gaethje.
The pair fight on July 30 in the Octagon, and Mendez thinks the pair are evenly matched.
He told SafeBettingSites: “Poirier and Gaethje play out the same as last time, a great fight for the fans because they're both durable and they love to excite the fans.
“Two great fighters. We could see Gaethje reverse his loss but I'm favouring Dustin because he's got that ‘come from behind never be beaten’ type mentality - Justin has that too - but he's crumbled a bit more than Dustin in situations like this.
“That's why I favour Dustin, just a little, not much.”
