UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev shared his opinion on his former opponent, former interim titleholder in the division Dustin Puryear.

"Dustin I think is already in the Hall of Fame, he's showing all MMA fans how many great fights there are. He's one of the biggest stars in our sport, he's a legend and a personality. He's a very good person, so I wish him all the best. I know that he is still able to fight and can win many victories in life," - said Makhachev in an interview with YouTube channel SHAK MMA.

Recall, earlier there was information that Puryear is preparing to hold his farewell fight.
