Islam Makhachev is considered to be one of the most deadly fighters in the Lightweight Division at the moment. Ever since he joined the UFC, he has been a menace in the octagon, taking down one major fighter after another. Even early in his career, he was submitting people like Adriano Martins and Nik Lentz. Makhachev was coached by the retired former UFC Lightweight Champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov. After his knockout win against Alexander Volkanovski, the Russian is hoping to continue his reign by defeating “The Diamond” and asserting himself as one of the best fighters in the UFC.
Considering Makhachev’s experience and record in the UFC, it is not hard to imagine him dominating the octagon in UFC 302 and retaining his title once again. His ability to hold on to submissions and strong striking accuracy raises his odds of coming out on top.
Islam Makhachev To Win By Submission

When it comes to submissions Islam Makhachev is no stranger. He is one of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC because of his submissions. His career records do all the talking for him, 11 out of 25 wins by submission. That in itself is impressive, but let’s take a look at some of the names he took down, Charles Oliveira, Thiago Moises, Kajan Johnson, and Leo Kuntz. Since the dawn of his career in the UFC, Makhachev has been haunting anyone he steps into the octagon with his deadly submissions. Moves like the armbar and arm triangle are his personal favorites as they have helped him clinch victories in numerous fights.
With this potential in mind, the chances of a submission victory by Islam Makhachev during the match increase tenfold. It is hard not to consider the possibility of Makhachev locking Poirier in a position from which he cannot get out, making this a very safe bet.
Islam Makhachev To Win In The First Round

Makhachev is also well-known for another impressive stat, 10 first-round wins out of 25. This makes him very dangerous during the beginning of the fight. As most fighters use the first couple of rounds to get in the zone or feel out their opponents, Makhachev sweeps in for the takedown and tries to finish things then and there. He has knocked out many fighters during the first round, like, Adriano Martins, Gleison Tibau, and Alexander Volkanovski. This combined with his strength in submissions, makes Islam Makhachev a very dangerous fighter during the first stages of the fight.
Makhachev’s undeniable potential for first-round wins combined with his knack for submission finishes, greatly improve the odds of him taking down Poirier in the first round of the fight. This also makes the bet much safer and increases the chances of a major payout.
Altogether, these bets form an accumulator odds of 4.75 on bet365. Before you go any further, make sure you take a look at other markets as there are tons of them open with similar accumulator bets everywhere. Only pull the trigger after you find one that you feel the best about.
Dustin Poirier To Win Fight

Dustin “The Diamond” Poirier is a decorated fighter in the UFC Lightweight Division. He has an impressive record of 30 wins and only 8 losses. After his strong showing against Benoît Saint-Denis, Poirier is targeting the Lightweight Champion for a shot at the title. The American fighter has a blackbelt in Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu and uses it well to take down his opponents. His striking and takedown accuracy are also quite good, making each of his punches quite hard-hitting. During his career, Poirier has fought and won against some hefty names in UFC, like, Conor McGregor, Max Holloway, Bobby Green, and Eddie Alvarez.
On a career that spans more than a decade, Poirier has the stats and experience to slowly work around Makhachev and take him down. His accuracy and speed should help him survive the initial rounds and later his punching power will come in handy, improving the odds for his win and this bet.
Dustin Poirier To Win By KO/TKO

One of the biggest strengths Dustin Poirier has is his striking accuracy and power. This enables him to hit knockout punches at any given moment. Throughout his career, Poirier has shown his immense knockout capabilities, 16 wins by KO. He has defeated some of the biggest names in MMA this way, like, Conor McGregor, Bobby Green, and Diego Ferreira. He can endure punishment for a long time and analyze his target waiting for the perfect moment to put them to the ground. Not to mention Poirier’s submission capabilities are also quite good, with 7 wins by submission. He has submitted fighters like, Michael Chandler and Jonathan Brookins.
With his knockout capabilities alongside striking power and accuracy, the possibilities of Makhachev taking a hit he won’t be ready for are quite high. This also boosts the odds of this bet and allows for a relatively easy win.
Dustin Poirier To Win In The First Round
Poirier to defeat Makhachev in the first round at odds of 2.90 (bet365)
Just like his opponent, “The Diamond” has a knack for finishing things quickly. Over the course of his career, Poirier has had 13 first-round finishes. Considering his strength in punching and KOs, we can easily assume that Poirier will be applying this tactic during UFC 302. He will go in for a devastating blow as early as possible and put Makhachev on the floor during the first round. We have seen him take first-round wins against other stronger fighters in the past, like, Conor McGregor and Bobby Green. This makes Poirier quite dangerous during the first round of the fight.
With this potential in mind, the first round of the fight will likely be quite energetic as both fighters will be looking to end things immediately. However, Poirier’s KO ability increases his odds of a first-round victory as it can be more dangerous than a submission from Makhachev.
Combined these odds form an accumulator bet with a total odds of 19.00 on bet365. However, remember that there are numerous other markets open with similar bets. Consider all options before settling for the one which you are most confident about.
