Dustin Poirier Offers Advice to Jack Della Maddalena Ahead of UFC 322 Bout

Former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev at UFC 322. During a Q&A session, Poirier was asked for advice he would give to Della Maddalena, and he jokingly suggested attempting a guillotine choke. This comment sparked a reaction from fans, given Poirier’s history of attempting the move in his own fights, often at inopportune moments.

Poirier’s love for the guillotine choke is well-documented, and he has previously stated that he would never stop attempting it, despite the risks involved. In his fight against Benoit Saint Denis at UFC 299, Poirier attempted the choke multiple times, despite his corner’s advice to the contrary.

In the same Q&A session, Poirier offered more practical advice to Della Maddalena, urging him to keep the fight in the middle of the octagon and avoid getting backed against the fence. He also cautioned Della Maddalena against worrying too much about Makhachev’s wrestling abilities, advising him to focus on his own strengths and fight his own fight.

Poirier has also shared his prediction for the fight, stating that he believes Makhachev will edge out a decision victory, but would not be surprised if Della Maddalena pulls off an upset. According to live betting odds, Makhachev is currently favored to win at -285, with Della Maddalena as a +230 underdog.

The fight between Della Maddalena and Makhachev is highly anticipated, with many fans eager to see how the Australian will fare against the current lightweight champion. Poirier’s comments have added to the excitement, with many fans taking to social media to share their thoughts on his advice and prediction. As the fight approaches, fans will be watching closely to see if Della Maddalena can pull off the upset and defeat Makhachev.
