American mixed martial arts veteran, commentator and expert Chel Sonnen has spoken out on the future prospects of former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Puryear.
On June 1 at UFC 302, "The Diamond" failed in his third attempt to win the full belt, losing early to Islam Makhachev. After the fight, the American did not rule out ending his career.
"No, Dustin will not retire. He will say goodbye, but not to MMA, but to the lightweight division. He will not challenge anyone, but there is a perfect opponent for him in the welterweight division. His name is Colby Covington, and he's waiting for his time," Sonnen said in a recent release on the author's YouTube channel.
