Dustin Poirier Discusses Islam Makhachev's Impressive UFC Streak
Islam Makhachev is poised to potentially set a new record at UFC 330 in Philadelphia, where he aims to surpass Anderson Silva's long-standing winning streak of 16 fights. Currently, both fighters share this record, and Makhachev's next challenge is against Ian Machado Garry in the main event.
Dustin Poirier, who has faced Makhachev in the octagon, has expressed that Makhachev's achievements are more significant due to his success in multiple weight classes. Makhachev has not only held the lightweight title but also recently claimed the welterweight championship after defeating Jack Della Maddalena.
Poirier noted that while Silva's streak included a remarkable middleweight title reign, Makhachev's ability to dominate across different divisions sets him apart. Makhachev's previous victory over Poirier in 2024 marked a pivotal moment in both fighters' careers, with Poirier retiring after a final bout against Max Holloway.
