Aljamain Sterling, former UFC lightweight champion, spoke out about the victory of Islam Makhachev, the organization's lightweight champion, over Dustin Porier.
"Great finish from Islam. He showed great poise in a fight against a very determined Puryear. I had the score 2-2 in the fifth round. Both fighters showed great fight," Sterling wrote on social media.
Recall, this morning in the main event of UFC 302 Makhachev "smothered" Puryear in the fifth round.
