'Never count Dustin out,' Jamahal Hill believes betting underdog Dustin Poirier will prevail against Islam Makhachev at UFC 302

Going into the fight, Dustin Poirier has made some critical revelations, including his potential retirement from the sport. The fighter is well aware that this might be the last opportunity to win the title. As Hill mentioned, the ‘Diamond’ can knock out anybody, and that’s exactly the plan for the Louisiana native for the Makhachev fight.

In the past, Dustin Poirier has lost twice in UFC lightweight title fights, and the fighter would definitely like to have different results. However, with Khabib Nurmagomedov coaching Makhachev, things are looking slim for the challenger. Many professional fighters have mixed opinions on the fight. As such, only the result will prove who was right and who was wrong.
