UFC CEO Dana White, at a press conference following the organization's 302nd event, said that Dustin Puryear can fight in the promotion for as long as he wants.
"Incredible fight, a real war. Makhachev missed several punches to the body, got a dissection on his forehead. The main event of the tournament turned out great. After the fight with Khabib, Porier was dazed. He was asking himself why he couldn't do anything. Now he fought Khabib's protégé and looked much better. Dustin was much better prepared. Great fight. After his previous fight we discussed the future. Porier was confident after his win over St. Denis. Today he was close to beating Islam. It's up to Dustin to decide if he's going to keep fighting. He's a star and he can fight in the UFC for as long as he wants," White said at the press conference.
