Episode 66: Dustin's last dance?
06/02/24 • 20 min
Both champion and challenger were brilliant in the UFC 302 headliner, but Islam Makhachev ultimately prevailed over Dustin Poirier by fifth round submission. I look into what made this fight so great, why it was important that Dustin Poirier bettered some of his other losing performances, and why Makhachev is the best fighter plying his trade right now.
