Media Javier Mendez on Khabib, Islam Tony Oliveira etc

[Ackmed]

Video was shot just before Tony vs Oliveira

Cliffs:

- What was Khabib's most dangerous fight? A: Michael Johnson...only because Khabib chose to stand with him and his stand-up wasn't as developed as it is now

- Where will Khabib's skills improve in the future? A: Nothing to improve on the ground, but he'll improve mostly in his boxing and also kicking. Recently they've been working on his kicking more.

-Which fighters stand out from Khabib's team:

- Islam is within a couple of fights of title contention. Islam will be the next UFC champion from Team Eagle

- Umar is also a future champion

- Usman has so much talent, is young and strong, believes he will be the biggest superstar out of all of them

- How are Islam and Khabib different? A: In stand-up Islam is better technically, especially in kicking. They're both great on the ground but Khabib is better (on the ground).

Islam needs to actually fight.

Except Charles is a far better fighter than Tony ever was.

Islam needs to actually fight.

And he knows that himself quote from his last interview "I need a fight first and prove myself"

Good. Maybe he'll do it next time.

Islam strikes technically better, grappling and wrestling. He has a unique fluidity when grappling. Khabib is physically strong and mentally as well. He's more savage, Islam is gentle

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Islam is only a couple of fights away from title contention? what the fuck is this guy smoking? has he even beaten anyone ranked in the top 15?

Islam is good enough to make sure the fight doesn't go to the ground.
on the ground it would be a battle for the ages.
Islam would win because of his knock out power.

This is OP's face everytime he sees Islams name mentioned:

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Islam is a talented fighter and may have some technical advantages over khabib. However, is he as much of an animal? Does he have khabibs mental strength or toughness?

Islam certainly can be champ, but it's what inside khabib that made him special

 

[Pault1989]

@Ackmed desperately needs to find himself a boyfriend, any potential men out there hit him up ASAP. @Hitto would be a good match, although it's a good possibility it's the same person

Charles beats an old, broke Tony and people say this?

Lol. Tony has the resume to be the second best LW ever.....what has Charles got?

Lol

Charles does that to prime Tony too, just a horrible stylistic matchup for him.

Current Charles also beats everyone that Tony ever beat.

No he does not, give me a '15-'17 Tony over Charles everyday of the week.

Agree to disagree.
