Islam Makhachev details exactly how he plans to finish Dustin Poirier at UFC 302

Makhachev’s big plan

“We will start and I will try to take him down,” Makhachev told Yahoo Sports. “He will try to get me in a guillotine [choke]. I will defend the guillotine. I will give him a couple punches. He will give his back. Then I will finish.”

“One day maybe, I hope [Poirier] will finish his guillotine on someone,” Makhachev said, that sly smile creeping in again. “But it’s not going to be me.”

“I have some job in this division,” Makhachev said. “I don’t want to give some chance to people from the other division, I already gave Volkanovski two chances. Now I need my chance for a second belt. In my division I think, honestly, I have Dustin and then Arman and then I’m done. We don’t have some new opponent who deserves a title fight. Then I will be ready to fight the champion at 170 [pounds].”
