UFC 302 takes place on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey with Islam Makhachev vs. Dustin Poirier. See how you can watch.
Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier face off in a highly anticipated lightweight championship bout at UFC 302 on June 1, 2024.. Poirier hopes to approach the end of his career on a high note, while Makhachev continues to rise through the ranks on Saturday night at 10 p.m. Eastern at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Tonight, Poirier faces what he calls his final attempt at an undisputed UFC title when he takes on Islam Makhachev in the main event of UFC 302 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Poirier enters the bout as a significant underdog against Makhachev, who is widely regarded as the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
Makhachev’s wrestling, much like that of his coach Khabib, is built on chaining attacks in the clinch. He excels at using single-leg takedowns, slick trips, and throws from tie-ups, showcasing adaptability in wrestling scenarios. Poirier will need to be cautious of Makhachev’s reactive shots in open space, a tactic the Dagestani fighter uses effectively.
