Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Porier spoke about his mindset for his upcoming bout with current full titleholder Islam Makhachev.

"I'm in the best physical and mental shape. I have confidence in myself, my skills and the realization that I can beat any fighter at lightweight. Sometimes I feel like I have a gift.

I manage to find ways to win in moments of chaos. It seems crazy, but those are the situations where I feel good and where I get to show my skill level. I especially like it when I'm put on the outside of the court, pinned to the net, with punches flying at me and blood pouring everywhere. In such fights I find ways to win," - quotes the words of Puryear BJ Penn.
