Makhachev to face Poirier for UFC 302 lightweight title at Prudential Center

The 35-year-old fighter, Poirier, might retire after his upcoming match due to family, business, and feeling tired of the hard work needed for a title fight. Makhachev hopes Poirier doesn't retire as it would be a significant achievement for him to defeat such a respected opponent. Poirier, who has beaten four former UFC champions, is unsure about retiring as he gets ready for his third lightweight title shot. Makhachev, known for his high striking accuracy, aims to make the fight easy. Poirier's friend, Khabib, will be in his corner for support. Brazilian fighter Paulo Costa had a mishap throwing the first pitch at a New York Mets game. He hopes for better luck in his upcoming middleweight fight against Sean Strickland. Costa has lost three of his last four fights. There will be a UFC event in New Jersey this weekend featuring Poirier's fight for the lightweight belt. Tickets for UFC 302 start at $315 before fees.
