Puryear: "I will knock Makhachev out cold."

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Porier made a bold prediction for his bout with current full belt holder Islam Makhachev.

"I don't see too many holes in his game, and that makes sense because he's the best fighter in the world regardless of weight class. But I'm going to knock him out flat out and the referee is going to drag me away. And yes, I'll make at least one guillotine run," the American said in an interview with Yahoo! Sports.

Recall that the American and the Dagestani will cross gloves on June 1 in the main event of UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey, USA.
