UFC American lightweight Beneil Dariush shared his thoughts on the organization of the title fight between the division's champion Islam Makhachev and former interim belt holder Dustin Puryear.
Earlier it became known that the Dagestani and the American will meet in the main event of UFC 302, which will take place on June 1 in Newark, USA.
"I would say that Mateusz Gamrot should be closer to the titleholder. Gamrot has been fighting top guys for a long time, I've dealt him his only meaningful defeat. So Gamrot is more deserving of a title shot. However, overall I'm not against the Porier - Makhachev fight. There are no more suitable options for a fight for the belt right now," said Dariusz in an interview with Submission Radio.
