UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev – improved version Khabib Nurmagomedova he will have no problem in a fight with the American Dustin Poirier fighter Timur Musaev told .
On Saturday, Russian fighter of Armenian origin Arman Tsarukyan defeated Brazilian Charles Oliveira at the UFC 300 tournament in Las Vegas (USA). Earlier, UFC head Dana White said that the winner of the fight should meet Makhachev, who previously defeated Tsarukyan and Oliveira. However, White later announced that Makhachev’s opponent at UFC 302, which takes place on June 1, would be Poirier.
— It’s not a bad, close fight, but I wasn’t impressed. I think Arman has grown a lot as a fighter since the fight with Makhachev. I gained in terms of conditioning and became stronger mentally. I think their second fight will be much more interesting.
Fight between Makhachev and Poirier? An interesting matchup, but I don’t see how Poirier could defeat Islam. In my opinion, Makhachev is an improved version of Khabib. “And we all remember very well what Khabib did to Dustin,” Musaev told .
Nurmagomedov defeated Poirier by third-round submission in September 2019.
