Former ACB champion Marat Balaev expressed confidence that Islam Makhachev will be able to beat Dustin Poirier.

“I was skeptical when they talked about Makhachev, and if you look closely, he fights very well. And I think it will be very good if The Diamond (nickname of Dustin Poirier. - ad) takes the belt from Charles Oliveira and he meets him. This will be the best option. He will smash Dustin in the fight,” Balaev said.

On July 17 Islam Makhachev will have a duel with Thiago Moises.
