UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev shared his opinion on his next opponent, former interim titleholder Dustin Puryear.

"Dustin's problem is his style. That's the only problem this guy has. His weaknesses are wrestling and grappling. So I have the key to an easy fight. I think if I follow the plan, I can beat him easily. Khabib and I's style is the worst for Dustin. Fighters who can move Porier to the ground and keep him there, always create problems for him, "- said Makhachev in an interview with TMZ.

Recall, Makhachev and Puryear will meet in the main event of UFC 302, which will take place on June 1 in Newark, USA.
