Former U.S. President Donald Trump shared his opinion on former UFC interim lightweight belt holder Dustin Puryear.

In early June, the American failed to capitalize on a third chance to become a full division champion, losing to Islam Makhachev by choke hold.

"Dustin Porier is great. He's a warrior. Whether you like it or not, you have to recognize that. He didn't lose the fight against Islam Makhachev. Dustin was really tough then. I didn't expect a fight like that. He makes people suffer, there's no doubt about that. This guy is a real professional. As the fight went on, Dustin just got stronger. He was beaten and tried to choke him out four times, but he didn't let it happen. Porier is a great fighter," Low Kick MMA quoted Trump as saying.
