Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion, commented on the altercation with the number four ranked lightweight Dustin Porier.
"Dustin said some bad words at the press conference. But at the weigh-in ceremony, we worked it out. He apologized and said I misunderstood him. I have a lot of respect for Puryear. He's a legend in our sport. But I will still finish him," said Makhachev in an interview with the YouTube channel ESPN MMA.
Recall that the fight between Makhachev and Puryear will take place on June 2 and will headline UFC 302.
