Undisputed lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev claims he has “something special” planned for his UFC 302 title fight return against former interim titleholder, Dustin Poirier next month – vowing to finish the Lafayette challenger.
Makhachev, the current undisputed lightweight champion, and current pound-for-pound number one ranked fighter under the banner of the organization, is slated to make his comeback next month in New Jersey, headlining against Poirier atop UFC 302.
Sidelined since last October, Russian star, Makhachev turned in a one-sided first round high-kick and strikes knockout win over two-fight rival, Alexander Volkanovski – handing the former featherweight champion his first professional knockout defeat.
