Sterling impressed with Makhachev's win over Porier

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.
