UFC ring announcer assesses Makhachev's win over Puryear

Bruce Buffer, longtime UFC ring announcer, commented on the promotion's lightweight champion Islam Makhachev's victory over Dustin Puryear.

"It was a great fight. It was really good. But I'll tell you: credit to Dustin for being able to stop Islam's takedowns. Because we know that Islam is a monster in terms of parries. Makhachev is very strong, it's interesting to see him in the welterweight division", - stated Buffer.

We will remind, Makhachev won from Puryear by choke in the fifth round.
