But if they get into a slugfest then what?Islam
But the beautiful thing about the ufc, is we will soon find out for sure
I definitely would favour Islam. I think he will be the man in the division this time next year

Dariush does not have a bright future ahead of him. Striking is too trash and won’t be able to submit Islam. I don’t think Benny knows he’s painfully average…Just worried if they stand and trade
I’m 50/50 on this one and I know how great Islam is but this quick KO worries me honestlyIMO Islam is more impressive. To me he's a better version of Daruish, both technically and athletically.
But Daruish is tough, and idk if Islam has the toughness that Daruish presents. But then again I hope Islam never shows that toughness, because he's doing a great job of avoiding getting struck all together.
When it comes to chin, it's hard to tell whose is superior. Both have been dropped/KO'd, but with Islam he was KO'd a long time ago at a very young age. And imo it was an early stoppage.
Whereas Daruish has been KO'd multiple times, with most of those losses being legit good stoppage KO's.
That’s what my mind is telling me, but my intuition is messing with me alsoDariush does not have a bright future ahead of him. Striking is too trash and won’t be able to submit Islam. I don’t think Benny knows he’s painfully average…
FWIW Islam said that he felt invincible going into that Martins fight, and that loss humbled him. He learned from that loss. Hence why he hardly gets struck now.I’m 50/50 on this one and I know how great Islam is but this quick KO worries me honestly

Not so sure about this. Chandler has lost twice in three fights. Other than Travis, what are peoples views of Chandler. He seems to be ranked roo high for my liking but I have issues with the rankings full stop. I mean Connor is still in the top ten, and he's not won hardly anything at LW for years.Imo a guy like Chandler is Islam’s most obvious kryptonite in the division. He wouldn’t be able to hold Chandler down and work a sub. Chandlers wrestling and grappling for MMA paired with his incredible athleticism don’t bode well for Islam’s game. With that said Chandlers striking and power plus insane chin would inevitably end in turning Islam into a corpse on the octagon floor. I think the best thing that could have happened for Islam is Chandler being knocked out of the title picture by Gaethje. Islam stylistically matches up better against the rest of the top5 imo, styles make fights and I like Dariush a lot but stylistically this fight is hard for me to pick him in.
