Islam Makhachev once again proved that heโ€™s one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world by successfully defending his UFC lightweight title for the third time this weekend in the main event of the UFC 302 card inside the Prudential Center in Newark against the challenge from No.4-ranked contender Dustin Poirier with a fifth-round submission victory.
