Jon Anik believes that Dustin Poirier’s walk at UFC 302 won’t be his last

Dustin Poirier’s Fighting Future in Question Ahead of UFC 302 Lightweight Title Fight

As Dustin Poirier prepares to challenge Islam Makhachev for the lightweight championship at UFC 302, the question of his fighting future looms large. However, UFC lead commentator Jon Anik is confident that “The Diamond” still has more fights left in him, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming bout.

Anik, who will be calling the action alongside Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan, believes that Poirier’s financial security and legacy in the sport make it unlikely that this will be his final walk to the octagon. Despite recent successes, including a knockout victory over Benoit Saint Denis to earn his title shot, Poirier is facing a formidable opponent in Makhachev, the No. 1 Pound-for-Pound fighter in the world.

Anik acknowledges the challenges ahead for Poirier but also highlights the fighter’s resilience and determination. He sees Poirier’s upcoming bout as an opportunity for him to solidify his legacy and potentially earn a place among the all-time greats in UFC history.

While Makhachev presents a tough test for Poirier, Anik believes that the former interim lightweight champion is more than capable of rising to the occasion. With the fight taking place in Poirier’s time zone and the confidence gained from his recent victories, Anik sees Poirier as a live underdog with a real chance of pulling off the upset.

As fight night approaches, all eyes will be on Poirier as he looks to make history and cement his place in the annals of UFC greatness. The stage is set for a thrilling showdown between two of the best lightweights in the world, and fans can expect an epic battle for the ages.
