How Islam Makhachev Submitted Dustin Poirier (Step by Step)

Islam Makhachev submitted Dustin Poirier in the fifth round of a gruelling contest to retain his lightweight title at UFC 302 in New Jersey. Russian Makhachev's elite grappling proved the difference as the 32-year-old secured a d'arce choke, forcing American Poirier to submit. The victory at the Prudential Centre was Makhachev's third defence of his belt while Poirier, 35, hinted at retirement after coming up short in what is likely to be his final attempt at becoming undisputed champion. In perhaps the most dangerous bout of his reign as UFC lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev lived up to his title as the promotion's top pound-for-pound fighter. The Russian defeated UFC veteran Dustin Poirier with a fifth-round submission to defend his belt in a fight that seemed to be trending against him in the later rounds CREDITS : Motion Graphics : www.youtubestock.com No Copyright Motion Graphics Motion Graphics provided by https://www.youtubestock.com YouTube Channel: https://goo.gl/aayJRf Music : Youtube Library --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **FAIR USE** Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
