UFC Fight Night: Makhachev vs. Moisés Preview and Predictions
July 13, 2021
After a blockbuster pay-per-view just down the road at the T-Mobile Arena, it’s back to the UFC Apex this weekend for
UFC Fight Night: Makhachev vs. Moisés. The headliners are a pair of highly touted lightweight prospects turned contenders.
The familial bond between retired former champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev is well noted, but it is largely Makhachev’s talent that led to Nurmagomedov anointing him as the apparent heir to his throne atop the division. Makhachev has impressed on his way into the UFC lightweight top 10, where he currently sits at ninth.

Like most of the MMA community, Michael Chiesa tips his hat to Dustin Poirier following the biggest win of his career.
In the main event of UFC 257, Poirier avenged his UFC 178 knockout loss to Conor McGregor by delivering a ferocious KO of his own in the second round of Saturday’s event in Abu Dhabi. “The Diamond” handed McGregor his first career loss of that nature as he improved to 11-2, 1 NC since their first meeting in September 2014.
Chiesa, who also earned a main event win on Fight Island earlier in the week over Neil Magny, was certainly impressed with Poirier.
