UFC 302: Makhachev vs. Poirier is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on June 1, 2024, at the Prudential Center, in Newark, New Jersey, United States.[1]
Background
The event will mark the promotion's tenth visit to Newark and first since UFC 288 in May 2023.[1]
A UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Islam Makhachev and former interim champion Dustin Poirier is expected to headline the event.[2]
A five-round middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland and former title challenger Paulo Costa is expected to take place in a co-main event.[2]
A heavyweight bout between former Bellator Heavyweight World Champion Alexander Volkov and Jailton Almeida was expected to take place at this event.[3] 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.[4] Almeida is now expected to face Alexander Romanov instead.[5]
A women's strawweight bout between former Invicta FC Atomweight Champion Michelle Waterson-Gomez and Gillian Robertson was scheduled for the event.[6] However, the bout was postponed to UFC 303 for unknown reasons.[7]
Jeremiah Wells was expected to face Niko Price in a welterweight bout.[8] However, Wells pulled out due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Alex Morono.[9] 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.[10][11]
Su Mudaerji and Joshua Van were expected to meet in a flyweight bout at this event.[12] However, Su pulled out in late April due to undisclosed reasons.[13] He was replaced by Tatsuro Taira.[14] In turn, both fighters were moved to UFC Fight Night: Perez vs. Taira in order to face different opponents.[15]
A middleweight bout between Roman Dolidze and former LFA Middleweight Champion Anthony Hernandez was scheduled to take place at the event.[16] However, Hernandez was forced out of the bout due to a torn ligament in his hand.[17]
Road to UFC Season 2 flyweight winner Park Hyun-sung was expected to face André Lima.[18] However, he pulled out due to a knee injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Nyamjargal Tumendemberel.[19] In turn, Tumendemberel was forced to withdraw from the event due to visa issues and was replaced by Mitch Raposo.[20]
