UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has predicted the outcome of his upcoming fight against former interim titleholder Dustin Puryear.

The Dagestani is confident he will finish his American opponent with a choke hold from the back.

"I'll put him in the parterre, he'll unsuccessfully try a guillotine. Then I'll take his back and choke him out. That's how it will end," Makhachev said in an interview with MMA Junkie.

Recall that the fight between Makhachev and Porier will be the main event of the UFC 302 tournament. The event will take place on June 1 in Newark, USA.
