Recall, in September 2019, the Dagestani forced the American to capitulate in the third round.
"I've already beaten Dustin Puryear, it was almost five years ago. If you compare that version of him and the current version and ask: has he changed a lot, has he become much better? No, I don't think so. Islam is superior to Dustin in almost everything," stated Khabib.
It should be added that on June 1 at UFC 302 in Newark, USA, Puryear will meet the current leader of the lightweight division Islam Makhachev.
