Dustin Poirier will face Islam Makhachev on June 2, during the main event of UFC 302. During his career, the American has already attempted twice to win the undisputed UFC lightweight champion title. He failed both times. He was submitted by Khabib in 2019. Charles Oliveira also finalized him by submission in 2021. On paper, the champion has the style to make Dustin Poirier tap. Moreover, a few days ago, Khabib&#8217;s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 gave his prediction for the fight in an interview with Yahoo Sports.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_17403\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qkSjAkh6gyc?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u201cDo not abandon the position\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When facing grapplers, &#8216;The Diamond&#8217; favors one technique in particular: the guillotine. However, Islam Makhachev does not seem to fear this. On the contrary, he even intends to use it against the American.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If he engages a guillotine, Dustin Poirier knows that he must not make a mistake in particular against Islam Makhachev: \u201cYou must not abandon the position,\u201d Dustin Poirier told Yahoo Sports. \u201cEven if you think it\u2019s getting tighter or you have a good feeling, you shouldn\u2019t abandon the position. Especially against a guy like Islam. If you abandon the position, you may struggle to get back to your feet for the rest of the round and lose it, or put yourself in an even more dangerous position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSo I have to play, see how I feel in there, in these positions. But I will probably jump (attempt the guillotine).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dustin Poirier has shared a violent prediction for his UFC lightweight title fight against champion Islam Makhachev.
