Poirier responds to criticism of his ground game, explains what he must do to win at UFC 302.
In his third chance at UFC gold, Poirier faces yet another heavy grappler, lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, in the main event of UFC 302 on June 1. The former UFC interim titleholder would have had undisputed status by now if it weren't for being submitted by former champs Khabib Nurmagomedov and Charles Oliveira in 2019 and 2021.
The way Team Nurmagomedov fights is a totally different story. Think mauling, pressure, and domination because if they tie you up, it has been known to be game over for many different fighters. Khabib Nurmagomedov finished Poirier in three rounds with this gameplan at UFC 242. Poirier, a product of American Top Team, details what it will take to dethrone a champion like Makahachev and finally become one himself.
