During the weigh-ins before UFC 302, there was a small conflict between Makhachev and Porier. Islam even took a swing at Dustin. All because the American called his opponent a "bastard". However, later the fighters found mutual understanding.
"You know me. I would never allow myself to disrespect your family. We're at war anyway, but I didn't mean to insult your family. I say that from the bottom of my heart," Porier said.
"I was glad to understand what it meant because it doesn't sound good in our country. Maybe for the United States it's okay, but not in our country," - replied Makhachev.
