Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Orlovsky expressed his opinion that lightweight division titleholder Islam Makhachev will confidently defeat Dustin Porier in their upcoming fight.
"Here, I think for sure, 99.9% for sure, Islam will win. Despite the fact that Porier is from my gym, hard working, Makhachev, as the Americans say, is a "different breed", so I think he will win.
I don't know if it will be an early win or not, but Islam will definitely win. In the near future no one will be able to compete with Makhachev", - said Orlovsky, answering questions from subscribers in Instagram.
Recall that the fight between Makhachev and Porier will take place on June 1 at the UFC 302 tournament in Newark, USA.
