Dustin Poirier vs Justin Gethje: Who is the biggest BMF?

Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje have squared off in the Octagon before in 2018, and after finishing opponent after opponent the two are scheduled to cross paths again. Poirier got the better of Gaethje in their first meeting and on paper has the resume and skillset to supersede Gaethje once more.
