Puryear's coach: "Dustin has one unresolved issue"

The coach of former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Porier, Mike Brown, has spoken out about his charge's upcoming fight against current full titleholder Islam Makhachev.

"A win over Makhachev? It could very well happen. Dustin has done so much in the sport. I don't think he has anything to prove anymore. But he has one piece of unfinished business left. I believe that Dustin is a true champion, although he has never owned a championship belt. Only a provisional belt. But in my eyes he is already a champion," - quotes the specialist MMA Fighting.

Makhachev and Puryear will fight on June 1 in the main event of UFC 302 in Newark, USA.
