Dustin Poirier challenged Islam Makhachev for the lightweight title in the main event at UFC 302 on Saturday in his third bid for undisputed gold. Despite a valiant effort by Poirier, Makhachev's elite grappling proved the difference as the Russian fighter sank in a D'arce choke, forcing Poirier to submit in the fifth round. In 22:42 of action, Poirier landed 74 significant strikes. This was potentially Poirier's final opportunity to claim undisputed UFC gold as he hinted at this being his final fight. If Poirier does retire, he will exit the sport as one of the greatest, if not the best, mixed martial artists to not win an undisputed UFC title.--Alen Kurbasic - RotoBaller
