UFC lightweightMichael Chandler shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between the organization's featherweight champion Islam Makhachev and Dustin Puryear.
"Everyone has a chance to win. Islam is good. I give respect to this guy who I want to fight. It's lefty against lefty, but Islam is a much tougher fighter. And the ease with which Dustin lets himself get knocked down scares me. But I don't know what's going to happen next week. Let alone seven weeks before the Makhachev-Porrier fight. I don't know how Dustin is going to build a defense against Islam's teikdowns. But Dustin has a very powerful punch. He also has the heart of a champion. I would say Dustin is the most trained fighter I've fought in my life," Chandler said in an interview with The MMA Hour.
