UFC Lightweight champion Islam Makhachev is currently the best pound-for-pound fighter in UFC. Islam Makhachev is widely regarded as one of the best UFC champions of all time. He has a record of 25 wins and only one loss in his professional mixed martial arts career.
Makhachev is set to defend his UFC Lightweight championship for the third time against Dustin Poirier at UFC 302 pay-per-view; the event will take place on June 1, 2024, at the Prudential Center, in Newark, New Jersey, United States.
Islam Makhachev recently gave an interview to the NY Post where he revealed his plans to join UFC after UFC 302.
Islam Makhachev said, “Honestly, I don’t have any exciting fights [at lightweight] because, Dustin Poirier has just 1 fight wins streak Arman Tsarukyan I already beat this guy. I don’t have some job in my division. I think they have to give me chance for the second belt, because I already beat everyone.”
