According to Ali Abdelaziz, the fight between Topuria and Charles is worthless

[Dark Lord]

The reason? According to him, the champion is still Makhachev. So the question remains: If the champion is still Makhachev, why the HELL didn't he stay in the category to fight Topuria? The truth is that the champion will be decided at UFC 317, Makhachev at this moment is not the champion of absolutely anything. It's good that he focuses on beating JDM!

it's a #1 contender fight

He’s right

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Everyone's life would measurably improve if we collectively ignored Ali Abdelaziz.

So Islam is going back to LW after JDM runs through him? That’s going to be a hard cut. Theres a good chance going up to WW ends up being a massive mistake for Islam’s career and legacy.

You retire or leave a div the shit moves on, only mma holds onto this dumb shit like someone can move divs or retire and they are champion of the div for life. Nobody else can ever be called LW champ again or some stupid shit.

You fight in the div or you dont and Islam doesnt at this point so two guys who do will fight for the title and the winner will be LW champ of the world. It aint that hard. Unless Islam comes back down and I dont see why he would since if he wanted to fight Topuria he would be fighting him in a month but if he does then you can say thats real best LW in the world. But as of right now he's a WW and not LW champ anymore.

 

[Chagaev]

You should know better than to get trolled by Abdelaziz.

 

[Bradillac]

The funny thing is, if Ilia beats Oliveira, he can very quickly match/surpass Islam’s resume at LW since Islam really didn’t fight many contenders.

 

[xhaydenx]

Islam is in no way champion. Dude got a worthy contender and ran for the bathtub like his life depended on it. You can hear the quacking even now.

I'm glad you boys agree Volk is a paper "champ"

 

[Portland8242]

Ali is still really salty that Gaethje got snubbed for the vacant title fight.

 

[Fact Checker]

That’s pretty much an opinion… but I think it’s a known fact that Ali is worthless.


Failed as an MMA fighter and if Conor’s claims are true then he’s also a failed “terrorist rat”.

 

[El Fernas]

Last time i checked he vacated the belt, or will be, paper champion, but whoever wins will be the LW champion, Mackhachev can (and will) go back down to LW to get it back.

Yeah, man does not have an iron chin and takedowns will be harder.
Still gotta give the man some props for trying! Man has some balls.

 

[NoSmilez]

It's true because he isn't managing any of them. He ain't making money off that fight.

I pray that JDM can pull off the upset but I can't see Islam not dragging JDM to the ground and brutalizing him.

 

[RockyLockridge]

He’s right

was volk vs lopes pointless?

His legacy is already pretty weak anyway, Title reign of short notice opponents and a contentious win against volk. Should he lose to JDM, and he will lose to JDM unless he dedicates himself to WW completely. If he thinks he can just "Go up" without putting on size and making a more long term move, I think he has another thing coming.

 

[JustforBROCK]

Oh look, a post about someone who's opinion is fucking worthless and doesnt matter.

Yes. Fun! But pointless.

Did he feel the same way when khabib beat raging Al
