Islam Makhachev is still UFC lightweight champion but Dustin Poirier put forth one hell of an effort at UFC 302. The pay-per-view was the first of five UFC cards in June, culminating with Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler at UFC 303 during International Fight Week.
UFC gears up for its second of three consecutive Fight Nights between the two PPVs. Last week, Nassourdine Imavov scored the biggest win of his career by stopping Jared Cannonier on June 8 in a finish that some called an early stoppage. The promotion returns to the UFC Apex on June 15 for a card headlined by flyweights Alex Perez and Tatsuro Taira. Perez snapped a three-fight losing streak by knocking out Matheus Nicolau on short notice. Now he looks to snap Taira’s perfect 15-0 run.
UFC IFW closes out the month as fight fans migrate to Las Vegas for several days of festivities. McGregor vs. Chandler was the big ticket item on an otherwise lackluster card but McGregor suffered an injury and the fight was postponed to an as of now unspecified date. Former light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill was also forced out of his fight with Carlos Ulberg in the co-main event.
The injures forced sweeping, last-minute changes to what was to be the biggest card of the year. Light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira stepped up for a last-minute rematch with the man he defeated to win the title, Jiri Prochazka. A new co-main event was also put together, with Brian Ortega taking on Diego Lopes in a featherweight clash.
