Andrew Karlov July 13, 2021, 12:09 a.m.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, the former UFC lightweight champion, expressed confidence that his friend Islam Makhachev will be able to defeat Dustin Poirier and current lightweight champion Charles Oliveira.

ā€œI am confident that he will be able to defeat Poirier. Perhaps Dustin will be upset, but I believe in it, he can stop him. He is able to destroy Charles Oliveira. We just need time. I think Islam can beat all these guys,ā€ Nurmagomedov said.

Makhachev will have his next fight on July 18 against Thiago Moises.
