Makhachev commented on the victory over Porier

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev summarized the results of his fight against Dustin Porier in the main event of UFC 302 in Newark, USA.

The Dagestani defeated the American with a choke hold in the fifth round.

"Porier's coaches did a good job, he prepared well. Defended against my teikdowns, created a lot of difficulties for me. He's a true champion, an MMA legend.

That choke is one of my favorites, it doesn't matter if I'm tired or fresh, I can hold that hold. My dream is to fight for the next belt. I need a new challenge - give me a fight for the welterweight belt," Makhachev said after the fight.
