Read our privacy policy Conor McGregor has hinted at how Islam Makhachev could drop his lightweight title to Dustin Poirier at UFC 302. Makhachev, protege of lightweight icon Khabib Nurmagomedov, is making his third defence of the title, which McGregor previously held and failed to regain from Khabib in 2018. If Dustin’s ever going to do it, it’s going to be this time.” McGregor was referring to Makhachev’s sole loss as a professional, when he was knocked out by Adriano Martins in round one, nine years ago. The bout, headlining UFC 303, will be McGregor’s first since his trilogy fight with Poirier in July 2021.
