In the main event of UFC 302 this evening, Dustin Poirier will fight for the lightweight title – likely for the last time – as he challenges Islam Makhachev.
Veteran and fan favourite Poirier held the interim belt in 2019 but failed to unify the titles against Khabib Nurmagomedov, losing by submission. Two years later, the American suffered the same fate while challenging Charles Oliveira.
