Former interim UFC lightweight division champion Dustin Porier listed the top five best members of his category in the history of mixed martial arts.

"Khabib, B.J. Penn. Islam Makhachev is on his way to that status. James Pover - for being the first champion. Yves Edwards - he was a champion when there were no belts," Puryear told Sportsnet.

Recall that on the night of June 2, Puryear will try to take away the title in the lightweight division of the UFC from Islam Makhachev. The fight will headline the promotion's 302nd numbered tournament in Newark, USA.
