Yes, it will be two big fights. But I believe in my hunches, and it's time for someone to either defeat or show the path to defeat for Makhachev. This will be good for him and for the category to run a little longer, because his fights are very boring to watch, he just goes there and takes him down, and traps him and stays on the ground. This doesn't generate entertainment, it's boring and boring to watch.
Who knows? Your hunch might come true. It's UFC and unexpected things could happen.
I am watching this now while waiting for the next fight. It will be a long rest.

Just watching those highlights of Dustin Poirier brings shivers to my spine.
One hit of that could end the match. But let's face it, Islam Makhachev had also been upgrading his striking ability and he made that point against Volk so if he won't be taking this fight through the points system/takedowns, there's a chance we are going to see a brawl to happen.
Poirier on the other hand needs to be aggressive from the start of that bell. Don't let Islam get his rhythm and his reading of the fight just like what he did with Volk which was shown on that video analysis.
