Whittaker called Makhachev's confrontation with Puryear one of the best title fights in a long time

Robert Whittaker, former UFC middleweight champion, spoke out again about the recent fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Puryear.

"Makhachev beat up Puryear for all five rounds, he won every round. I think Islam even outboxed Dustin. Of course, there were a lot of tit-for-tat exchanges between them. But man, it was awesome to watch. In my opinion, it was one of the best title fights in a long time," Whittaker said on his YouTube channel.

Recall Makhachev won from Puryear by choke in the fifth round.
