Islam Makhachev, the UFC lightweight champion, has named a high kick that his next opponent, former interim promotional champion Dustin Porier, doesn't like in the division.
"Dustin doesn't like high kicks either. Maybe this punch will help me again (Makhachev knocked out Volkanovski with a high kick - note). When you stand in a left-handed stance, kicks to the head and body become key. I try to hit hi-kicks in all my fights. I prepare them a lot, Dustin also needs to be ready," Makhachev said in an interview with the New York Post.
Recall that the fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Porier will take place on June 1 in Newark as part of the UFC 302 tournament.
