UFC President Dana White took to social media on Monday evening and announced the UFC 299 co-main event. UFC 299 takes place on March 9 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla., and is headlined by a bantamweight title bout between champion Sean O’Malley and his rival Marlon “Chito” Vera. “The co-main event in Miami, March 9, UFC 299 will be number three ranked lightweight Dustin Poirier versus number 12 ranked Benoit Saint Denis. Saint Denis is on a five-fight win streak with all five coming by finishes before the third round. He’s been saying that he believes that he’s the new BMF of the UFC and he’ll have the opportunity to prove it against Dustin Poirier, who is an absolute savage and always goes to war,” White said via Instagram video
