Porrier: "I want to test my hands on Makhachev"

Former Interim UFC Lightweight Champion Dustin Poirier answered the question of whether he is ready to test the division champion's jiu-jitsu Islam Makhachev.

In the next fight, Makhachev will defend his belt from the encroachments of the featherweight division champion Alexander Volkanovski. The meeting will take place on February 12 at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia.

“No, against Islam I would like to test my hands. Let's see what will happen.

Can I insure the fight between Makhachev and Volkanovski? I never say never, but the UFC hasn't contacted me about it yet," Poirier said in an interview with BroBible.
