UFC lightweight ranking number one Arman Tsarukyan spoke out about the upcoming fight between the organization's featherweight champion Islam Makhachev and Dustin Porier.
Porier.
"Dustin is a smart guy with a lot of experience. I think he doesn't give a shit about anybody. He's going to win. People don't realize that fighters don't care about talking. If 100 people tell me, 'You're going to lose to Islam.' I'll say, "Fuck you, I'm going to win." Even if my coach doesn't believe in me, my brother, I don't care. I know my goal. Dustin feels the same way. It's either win by decision over Islam or knockout over Puryear. 70% on Makhachev and 30% on Dustin," Tsarukyan said in an interview with SHAK MMA.
Recall, the fight between Makhachev and Porier will take place on June 1 and will headline UFC 302.
