Tsarukyan - about Makhachev and Porier fight: "Ready to bet money on Dustin's victory by knockout"

Dmitriy Kel May 21, 2024, 10:57 a.m.

The first number of the UFC lightweight division rating Arman Tsarukyan considers the champion of his division Islam Makhachev as a favorite for the upcoming fight with Dustin Puryear, but does not exclude that the latter can win by knockout.

The fight between the Dagestani and the American will take place on June 1 at UFC 302 in Newark, USA.

"Islam will try to pin Dustin to the cage, drop him and hold a hold. But if he can't do that, the situation will be dangerous for Makhachev. In a boxing match, Porier is on another level - faster, stronger. He can easily knock out Makhachev. That's why Islam needs to try to get a knockdown as early as possible.
