Islam Makhachev, UFC lightweight champion, named his main mistake in the fight against Dustin Porier.

"Not to say that everything went according to plan, but I controlled the whole fight - there were no such moments that I was somewhere in danger. The mistake was that I should have had more confidence in my stand-up, my striking, and I was a little bit wary of his punches. I think I could box with him calmly," - said Makhachev.

We will remind, Makhachev defeated Puryear by choke in the main event of UFC 302.
