"MMA is unpredictable. Anything can happen, right? But we're talking about a clash of styles. Porier is a puncher, he has a heavy hand and a great boxing style. Against him, Islam, who is good in the stand-up, but his strength is wrestling and sambo. He will roll his opponent and smother him.
I think the favorite is Islam. But we're talking about Dustin Puryear, we're talking about MMA. So it's complicated. My opinion - Makhachev will remain the champion", - said Oliveira in an interview with Full Violence.
Recall, the fight Makhachev - Puryear will take place on June 1 at the tournament UFC 302 in Newark, USA.
