UFC veteran Matt Brown gave his prediction for the upcoming bout between the organization's lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and Dustin Puryear.
"Islam is the clear favorite, no question about it. It's going to be a tough fight for Porier. It's hard to see how Porye is going to stop Islam's takedowns and knock out his opponent. But if he finds a way to do that.... I will say that Puryear is a guy who can do anything. Don't write Dustin off. He shouldn't be the outsider that he is considered to be," Brown said in an interview with James Lynch.
Recall that the fight between Makhachev and Puryear will take place on June 1 and will headline UFC 302.
