Makhachev is the pound-for-pound No. 1 fighter on the UFC books right now. He has lost just one fight – in 2015 – since turning professional in 2010.
Poirier defeated Conor McGregor twice in 2021 before a patchy run of two victories and two defeats since then. He is the No. 4-ranked lightweight star in the category.
Elsewhere on the card, Sean Strickland faces Paulo Costa, while Kevin Holland goes up against Michał Oleksiejczuk.
