UFC on Fox: Poirier vs. Gaethje (also known as UFC on FOX 29) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that was held on April 14, 2018, at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.[2]

Background

After previously contesting two events at the nearby Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, the event was the first that the promotion held in Glendale. Zuffa had previously hosted the final World Extreme Cagefighting event, WEC 53 at the arena in December 2010.[2]

The event was headlined by a lightweight bout between Dustin Poirier and former WSOF Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje.[3]

A lightweight bout between Gilbert Burns and Lando Vannata was linked to the event. However, the pairing never materialized as Vannata was unable to accept the fight for this date as he was still rehabilitating a recent arm injury.[4]

Abdul Razak Alhassan was scheduled to face Muslim Salikhov at the event. However, Alhassan was removed from the event, citing injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Ricky Rainey.[5]

A welterweight bout between former WEC Welterweight Champion and interim UFC Welterweight Champion Carlos Condit and Matt Brown was supposed to take place as the co-headliner. However, on April 2, Brown pulled out of the fight due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament and was replaced by Alex Oliveira.[6][7]
