Makhachev - on the dissection: "This is MMA, not soccer or basketball"

Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion, commented on the dissection he suffered in his fight with Dustin Puryear.

"The fight turned out good, but to be honest, I don't like dissections. It's going to hurt now. But Dustin is a real dog. He punches and kicks, he's ready to bite. I'm glad I got an early win. Dustin's still one of the best. Without the early win, there would have been questions. He's prepared very well, he's improved his defense against transfers. I think that's my first dissection. It's okay. This is MMA, not soccer or basketball. We fight, we try to beat each other up," Makhachev said at the press conference.
