Dustin Poirier entered as the challenger to fight Islam Makhachev for the lightweight belt. After an impressive victory over Benoit Saint-Denis, Diamond was immediately placed for a title shot against the Russian contender.
On X(formerly Twitter), Dustin Poirier offered Islam Makhachev a rematch. “If Arman can't fight, let's go again,” wrote Diamond. However, this was immediately shot down by the Russian champion.
Fellow lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan was next in line for a title shot against Islam Makhachev. However, the Armenian fighter was suspended after he got into an altercation with a fan at UFC 300.

Fans also recommended other rematch fights instead of Dustin Poirier. An X user called SingingParrot said, “You should fight Charles.”
In a later tweet, Islam Makhachev claimed he wanted ‘new targets.’ The lightweight champion is willing to defend his belt against new challengers. Although he has already fought Tsarukyan in 2019, the Russian fighter does not want the Dustin Poirier rematch.
UFC 302 was said to be Dustin Poirier’s last fight for the belt. As he had come up short on multiple occasions, Diamond wanted to fight the current champ Islam Makhachev to test himself and his skillset.
However, Dustin Poirier failed to grab the belt as Islam Makhachev choked him out in the final round. Despite having his moments at UFC 302, Diamond suffered yet another loss against the Russian champion.
