Can Dustin Poirier defy the odds by overcoming Makhachev's dominance at UFC 302? Let me know your thoughts on it, below.

[@gayvacharonda4095]

Sorry Porier gets mopped.

[@SportskeedaMMA]

Maybe it's time for Poirier to switch up the 155 division! Appreciate your comment, keep watching!

[@seanhajo5111]

In your dreams; maybe.

[@SportskeedaMMA]

Beware before you get choked in your dreams by Dustin. Just joking bud, maybe you're right, you never know this game is so strange.

I love Dustin, but looking at his paths to victory, the only one that stands out is somehow get makachev to trade with him, ddp inside boxing is excellent. But he won't feel comfortable bc id he's inside boxing islam is close enough for the clinch which is where he does his best work. Looking at his fight v khabib, (although islam style is a different approach) giving up his back and jumping for guillotines will only make it easier for him. Islam is a counter puncher w god tier grappling based off sambo/judo sweeps trips so ddp will have to lead the dance which he doesn't do as well, and off his backfoot makes it even more difficult....my prediction islam by finish less than 2.5 rds.

[@SportskeedaMMA]

Wow, had to read to confirm your opinion. Loving the back and forth. Appreciate it. That is what makes us crazy MMA fans.

[@Daemon00-p8s]

Lets go Diamond 💎

[@kumar-mx6kq]

I like Dustin he is a good and talented athlete but Islam will take him down and finish him. If Islam wants to fight on the feet with Dustin Islam will repent. Dustin is good boxer. Very excited for the match

[@mahmoudkabi9984]

If Dustin was able to defeat Habib then he would defeat Machachev, which is very unlikely! What if Islam does what he did to Volk in the rematch? Justin knocked out Dustin with the same leg kick, didn't he? Poirier's destiny is sealed : retirement !

[@SportskeedaMMA]

You did Poirier dirty my man. Retirement when he is beating aal the contenders left right centre.

[@mahmoudkabi9984]

@@SportskeedaMMA Well, the bout is closing in and the outcome will speak louder than anybody. Dustin is worthy of respect but here we're speaking facts. HABIB Choked him, Oliviera did the same, Justin knocked him out and he was losing against the french fighter in his last fight had he not had that lucky boom opening! Facts are facts and Defacto Islam is on another level. Enjoy the collision!

[@georgegeorgiou1511]

Its going to be a dull fight.Islams karma doesnt seem bright

[@SportskeedaMMA]

Dull! everyone said the same for Islam vs Volk 1, remember what happened. Nobody can predict the action inside the cage.

[@ShaariAmin-zn4kl]
