Good lord i hope thus is true. Islam has’t fought in like forever and wjo else is there? He beat Poirier, Charles and Arman. Gaethje just got destroyed by a FW. Chandler got destroyed by Paddy. Paddy is a worse version of CM Punk and wasnt even ranked in the top 10 with his only good win coming against a bum. Let Islam fight Ilia, the LW division doesnt have 1 good fighter anymore anyway.

What kind of garbage is this? Paddy is worse than cm punk? You mean the guy who just beat a former bellator champ and perrenial contender since he got to the ufc. Who is now ranked #8. Gaethje won his last fight against a lw. If your talking about his loss to max, well max is now a lw and properly bulked up for that fight by spending months in the weight room doing it the right way instead of his last time prior to that against poirier. Also max was the former 5 time defending FW champ and #1 contender forever there and most likely a 1st ballot hof fighter. I agree with you that ilia is the next rightful contender outside of arman, so yeah give him the fight.

If it ain't Islam or Arman, it's bogus matchmaking.

AI video with no proof? If the fight was signed, Islam's team would announce it. So far neither the UFC nor Islam has acknowledged it.
I think the UFC has made some promises to Topuria behind Islam's back, and now they're trying to strong arm Islam into taking a short notice fight against Topuria. It's not gonna work unless the UFC pay Islam bigtime money, and I doubt they can afford to given their reported terrible PPV sales.

Non-title fight if Islam doesn't move up to 170 pounds.
UFC must be PRAYING that JDM wins at UFC 315.

That works. We need a true #1 contender fight and Islam deserves to wait for one + fight WW champion (if not Belal). This is gonna be a long 2 weeks until 315.

So are all three of them training? Topuria knows he's fighting for the title but if Belal loses in a few weeks then Charles is fighting him for belt. BUt if Belal wins then Islam is fighting him for the belt and Charles stops training and moves on to someone else?
Thats really fucking complicated here man. I give Islam some leeway here but make a fucking dec, go up or fight who UFC is telling you and thats Topuria. If you dont want to then do what Topuria did, give up the belt then.
