Islam Makhachev Can Surpass Khabib's Record at UFC 302

Liputan6.com, Jakarta- UFC 302 will be held on June 2 2024 from New Jersey, United States. The main treat is Islam Makhachev's match against Dustin Poirier. This fight is a big match in the UFC lightweight division which is eagerly awaited by MMA sports fans from all over the world, including Indonesia.

Previously, Islam Makhachev managed to beat Alexander Volkanovski twice, in one fight that ended with a head kick in the first round of the second fight. Makhachev has successfully defended the UFC Lightweight Champion title twice, and earned the nickname “Lightweight King”.

Makhachev has the longest streak of 12 consecutive wins in the UFC lightweight division, equaling the record of his mentor, Khabib 'The Eagle' Nurmagomedov. If Makhachev wins UFC 302, he will surpass Khabib's record and potentially become the Greatest of All Time (GOAT).

However, it was not easy for Makhachev to beat Portier again. The opponent will be a tough opponent with a record of 9 KO/TKO wins, the most in history in the UFC lightweight division. He is also ranked as the 5th best lightweight MMA fighter according to Tapology.

On the other hand, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who has also fought against Poirier, gave Poirier sincere praise and at the same time gave a warning signal to Islam Makhachev. According to Khabib, Poirier is a very good fighter, and Poirier's guillotine choke technique can be a dangerous deadly choke.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is currently still the Best Lightweight Champion Ever in the hearts of his fans. He retired undefeated with honor after successfully defending his title, defeating Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje.
