"Don't write off Porier. If Dustin finds his game, he can hurt Islam. But I think Makhachev's grappling just stunned everyone. And it will be too hard for Dustin Porier," Usman said on YouTube channel Pound4Pound.
The fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Puryear will take place at UFC 302 in Newark (USA) on June 1.
Recall, in his last fight, Porier finished lightweight prospect Benoit St. Denis.
