Romanov gave a prediction for Makhachev's fight with Porier

Puryear.

"Puryear's only trump card is his boxing. If he can impose a stand-up chopping, he has a chance to hit hard and cause problems for Islam. But I don't think Islam's professionalism will allow him to do that. He's going to have the seasoned wolves of the sport in his corner."

As a reminder, Makhachev's confrontation with Porier will headline UFC 302, which takes place on the night of June 2 in Newark.
