Glendale (Arizona), April 15: Dustin Poirier stops Justin Gaethje in the fourth round of a lightweight bout that headlined the UFC on Fox 29: Porier vs. Gaethje card at Gila River Arena in Glendale on Saturday (April 14).

The pair were involved in a back and forth contest and it was Poirier who stunned Gaethje with a clean left hand and followed that with multiple punches to get the stoppage victory via a technical knock out within a minute of the fourth round.

With that win Poirier takes his winning streak to three and also puts himself closer to a title shot. While Gaethje has dropped his last two fights.

In the co-main event, Alex Oliveira got one of the biggest wins of his career when he stopped Carlos Condit at 3:17 in the second round of a welterweight bout. The menacing Condit had no option but to tap out once Oliveira choked him.

Earlier on the main card, undefeated middleweight Israel Adesanya continued his streak after he earned the split decision against Marvin Vettori in a very tight affair. While, Michelle Waterson also did the same against Cortney Casey in a women's stawweight bout.

In the prelims, we saw ten bouts which included six stoppages and four decisions. As for stoppages, Alejandro Perez, Muslim Salikho, Gilbert Burns and Brad Tavares earned wins via TKO or KO. While, Indo-Canadian Arjan Bhullar and Tim Boetsch were submitted by Adam Wieczorek (Omoplata) and Antonio Carlos Junior (RNC) respectively.

Meanwhile, Luke Sanders, John Moraga, Yushin Okami and Lauren Mueller earned decision victories.
