Islam Makhachev defeated Dustin Poirier at UFC 302 via a fifth-round submission. Poirier put up an impressive fight against the Dagestani however he lost the bout and now Makhachev still reigns atop the 155-pound division. The Louisiana native showed his grappling prowess but the Dagestani landed some powerful shots and won the bout. Makhachev gave a strong D’Arce choke in the end and made ‘The Diamond’ tap out to win the title for a third time! But it’s someone else grabbing the headline now!
