UFC 302: Makhachev vs. Poirier was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on June 1, 2024, at the Prudential Center, in Newark, New Jersey, United States.[2]

Background

[edit | edit source]

The event marked the promotion's tenth visit to Newark and first since UFC 288 in May 2023.[2]

The debut of the new UFC Official Fight Gloves took place at this event.[3][4]

A UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Islam Makhachev and former interim champion Dustin Poirier headlined the event.[5]

A five-round middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland and former title challenger Paulo Costa took place in the co-main event.[5]

A heavyweight bout between former Bellator Heavyweight World Champion Alexander Volkov and Jailton Almeida was expected to take place at this event.[6] However, the bout was scrapped for unknown reasons and Volkov was booked for UFC on ABC: Whittaker vs. Chimaev against former interim UFC Heavyweight Championship challenger Sergei Pavlovich.[7] Almeida faced Alexander Romanov instead.[8]

A women's strawweight bout between former Invicta FC Atomweight Champion Michelle Waterson-Gomez and Gillian Robertson was scheduled for the event.[9] However, the bout was postponed to UFC 303 for unknown reasons.[10]

Jeremiah Wells was expected to face Niko Price in a welterweight bout.[11] However, Wells pulled out due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Alex Morono.[12] Price and Morono previously met at UFC Fight Night: Bermudez vs. The Korean Zombie in February 2017, with the bout originally ending via second-round knockout for Price, before ultimately being overturned to a no contest due to him testing positive for marijuana.[13][14]

Su Mudaerji and Joshua Van were expected to meet in a flyweight bout at this event.[15] However, Su pulled out in late April due to undisclosed reasons.[16] He was replaced by Tatsuro Taira.[17] In turn, both fighters were moved to UFC Fight Night: Perez vs. Taira in order to face different opponents.[18]

A middleweight bout between Roman Dolidze and former LFA Middleweight Champion Anthony Hernandez was scheduled to take place at the event.[19] However, Hernandez was forced out of the bout due to a torn ligament in his hand.[20]

Road to UFC Season 1 flyweight winner Park Hyun-sung was expected to face André Lima.[21] However, he pulled out due to a knee injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Nyamjargal Tumendemberel.[22] In turn, Tumendemberel was forced to withdraw from the event due to visa issues and was replaced by Mitch Raposo.[23] At the weigh ins, Lima weighed in at 130 pounds, four pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and he was fined 30 percent of his purse which went to Raposo.[24]
