Dustin Poirier’s Last Stand, Islam Makhachev’s Growing Legacy, and More. Plus, Conor McGregor’s UFC 303 Presser in Dublin.

Days before Dustin Poirier looks to finish the story against Islam Makhachev at UFC 302, Ariel Helwani, Petesy Carroll, and Chuck Mindenhall are here to get you set for Saturday night and up to speed on everything that’s happened since the last episode. But first, the guys tell you about their plans for the Helwani Road Show on Friday night in Newark, New Jersey (tickets here). Then, 3PAC tells you why the UFC 303 press conference in Dublin is a brilliant move, and also why the UFC nailed it by booking Ian Machado Garry against Michael “Venom” Page on the Conor McGregor card. After that, they discuss a slew of fight announcements before diving into their UFC 302 preview: Can Poirier upset the pound-for-pound king, Makhachev? And if Makhachev gets by Poirier, how will the champ’s résumé stack up against that of his mentor, Khabib Nurmagomedov? Plus, the guys talk about the stakes for the five-round co-main event between Sean Strickland and Paulo Costa. Then, the guys round out the show by taking Discord questions on McGregor’s training camp, New Jersey cuisine, and more.
