Earlier, the American admitted that the fight with the Dagestani could be the last in his career.
"I hate it! Dustin realizes that the end is near. I myself was ending my career. Life after fights, after grueling training camps - it seems amazing. But if you want to go into the octagon, if you're going to have a fight - you should not have a single thought about retiring," - said Cormier on his YouTube channel.
Recall that Porier and Makhachev will meet on June 1 in the main event of UFC 302 in Newark, USA.
