Oliveira: "Porier can knock out Makhachev, but..."

Former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between current belt holder Islam Makhachev and Dustin Porier.

"Every puncher facing Islam faces the same thing: they get shafted and take away their chances of winning. But this is MMA we're talking about, and one accurate punch can get you the win. Dustin Porier showed that in his last fight, he's shown that many times. He has heavy hands and he can knock out Makhachev, no doubt about it, but I believe that Islam will remain the champion," - quotes Oliveira MMA Fighting.

Recall, Makhachev and Puryear will meet in the framework of the tournament UFC 302, which will take place on the night of June 2 in Newark, USA.
