Makhachev And Poirier Verbally Agree To Fight In July

Former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier hinted at his desire to fight current champion Islam Makhachev on social media and asked the UFC to arrange the fight.

Dustin vs Islam in June especially since everyone else has fights. If the UFC is good with this then Islam would be game.

Makhachev left a comment with a handshake emoji under that post.

On March 10th, at UFC 299, Poirier knocked out Benoit Saint Denis in the second round.

The 32-year-old Makhachev last fought in the octagon in October 2023 at UFC 294, defeating Alexander Volkanovski by knockout in the first round in a rematch. He has 25 wins and one loss to his name. The 35-year-old Poirier has 30 wins and eight losses in his record.
