Islam Makhachev eyes ‘legend’ Dustin Poirier for June, even if ‘Dustin doesn’t deserve the title fight’. Islam Makhachev wants to fight in June, and if recent winner Dustin Poirier is the only option, that’s just fine with him. The UFC lightweight champion is hoping to defend his title this summer, but with the other top contenders currently booked at UFC 300, Poirier has timing on his side following his second-round knockout win over Benoit Saint Denis this past Saturday at UFC 299. Speaking with MMA Junkie, Makhachev agreed that while Poirier may not be the meritocratic choice to fight for the title, availability might just be Poirier’s best friend.
