UFC 302 Fight Card: PPV Schedule, Odds and Predictions for Makhachev vs. Poirier

UFC 302 is all set for the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey with Dustin Poirier attempting to take the lightweight championship from Islam Makhachev in the main event.

Poirier has long been a fan favorite and interim champion, but winning undisputed UFC gold is still an achievement that has evaded him. The Diamond will get a third crack at the championship hoping that this time will be a charm.

Three is a significant number for Makhachev too. He's looking to make his third consecutive successful title defense after denying Alexander Volkanovski with a first-round knockout in his last bout.
