Adesanya Makes Prediction For Makhachev vs Poirier Fight

Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya shared his opinion regarding the upcoming lightweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier at UFC 302.

 Adesanya said in a video on his YouTube channel:

But yeah, if I'm going to put money on this fight, I'm going to go Islam Makhachev, but look, my heart tells me I want Dustin (Poirier) to win, I love a good story, I like a nice storybook ending. But anyway, official pick, I'm going to go Dusting by guillotine.

Makhachev, 32, last fought in October 2023 at UFC 294, defeating Alexander Volkanovski by first-round knockout in a rematch. He has 25 wins and one loss on his record.

The 35-year-old Poirier last stepped into the octagon in March 2024 at UFC 299, defeating Benoit Saint-Denis by knockout in the second round. He has 30 wins on his record, eight losses and one fight declared a no contest.
