UFC veteran Dustin Poirier and rising lightweight contender Benoit Saint Denis locked horns in a five-round clash in the co-main event of UFC 299. The event was held on March 9 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.

Denis, on the other hand, was riding an impressive five-fight win streak before Saturday. All five of his UFC victories had come via finishes – three knockouts and two submissions.
