Perez commented on Makhachev's victory over Porier

Alex Perez, an American UFC fighter, commented on Islam Makhachev's victory in his fight with Dustin Porier.

"I watched the fight, it was a good fight. I was rooting for Dustin, because he is a real gangster. But the champion turned out to be a tough guy. Islam dug deep, he dominated. Not as dominant as Khabib. Because if Nurmagomedov had a takedown, you didn't go up again. But Islam is better than Khabib in the standup, he's more diverse. The champion dug deep and showed what kind of dough he is made of," said Perez in an interview with James Lynch.

Recall, Makhachev beat Puryear by choke in the fifth round.
