UFC 302 live blog: Islam Makhachev vs. Dustin Poirier Khabritak
This is the UFC 302 live blog for Islam Makhachev vs. Dustin Poirier, the main event lightweight title fight on Saturday in Newark, NJ.
Since winning the belt in 2022, Makhachev has already established himself as one of the best lightweights in UFC history, and has a chance to continue adding to his legacy this weekend as he goes for his third consecutive title defense. A win would tie Makhachev for most lightweight title defenses of all-time, and could lay the foundation for the top pound-for-pound fighter in the sport to make the jump up to welterweight in pursuit of a second UFC title.

One of the most beloved figures competing in MMA today, Poirier was written off from title contention just a year ago when he got knocked out by Justin Gaethje in their “BMF” title fight. However, an impressive win over Benoit Saint Denis and good timing allowed Poirier to slide into this title opportunity, giving “The Diamond” one last chance to finish his story and become undisputed UFC champion.
