Dustin Poirier is set to take on Islam Makhachev for the UFC lightweight title at UFC 302 on June 1. Makhachev, who is a close friend and ally of Khabib Nurmagomedov, was initially set to face Arman Tsarukyan for the title shot, but Tsarukyan declined the opportunity due to unideal timing. Poirier believes Makhachev could be underestimating him, and is ready to prove himself against the lightweight champ.
