(UPDATE: Story updated on Jan. 19 at 7:20 p.m. ET to reflect UFC confirmation of the fight.)

Dustin Poirier won’t get his rematch with Eddie Alvarez just yet, but a pretty nice concession is on the way.

A lightweight main event fight between Poirier (22-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC) and Justin Gaethje (18-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) is set for April 14, the UFC confirmed two days after MMAjunkie broke the news of the fight being in the works. The fight will take place at UFC on FOX 29, though the location of the card is still unknown.

Poirier is two months removed from an emphatic win over ex-lightweight champion Anthony Pettis (20-7 MMA, 7-6 UFC), which put him back in the win column after a controversial no-contest against Alvarez.

Alvarez pivoted on a rematch with Poirier after their UFC 211 bout, opting instead to coach Season 26 of “The Ultimate Fighter” opposite Gaethje. The two delivered a “Fight of the Year” candidate at UFC 218 with Alvarez (29-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) gutting it out for a third-round TKO. Poirier resumed his campaign for a rematch, to no avail.

With a logjam at the top of the lightweight division soon to cleared, the winner of Poirier vs. Gaethje could be poised for a title shot.
