Perez betting on Puryear to fight Makhachev

Alex Perez, an American UFC fighter, gave his prediction for the upcoming bout between Islam Makhachev, the organization's lightweight champion, and Dustin Porier.

"I'm betting on Dustin. I think Porier will hit powerful punches with his hands, he has good wrestling. Islam will not be able to prove himself in attacks. Makhachev is a tough guy, a tough champion, he's from Khabib's team. But during his fights against Volkanovski, Makhachev showed that he has flaws. That's not Khabib. If Khabib gave you a takedown, you didn't go up again. So the victory goes to Dustin," - said Perez in an interview with James Lynch.

Recall, the confrontation between Makhachev and Porier will take place on June 1 in the framework of the 302nd tournament of the promotion.
