UFC lightweight Dustin Puryear has spoken out about his upcoming fight with the promotion's division champion Islam Makhachev. In particular, Dustin answered the question whether he thinks Islam underestimates him.
"I'm not sure - it's hard to get inside his head. Of course, he says things like that, you'd think he's underestimating him. But we know what level of athlete Makhachev is. The best fighter on the planet outside of weight classes, world champion, heir to Khabib. In addition, all Dagestanians train very hard, improve their skills in fighting. I don't think Islam will underestimate me. But if he does, he'll wake up already lying on the floor," Puryear said in an interview with Sports Illustrated.
