Anyone else slightly gutted that we never gonna see Topuria vs Mackachev due to the outcome of this fight

[BayArea34]

This was an absolute classic what a fight it was between JDM and Belal and hey JDM deserved this win mann and I am happy for him but at the same time, I am slightly gutted that we will never see Topuria vs Mackachev

 

[Felya]

So Charles vs Topuria for interim?

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

We will, once Islam comes back down to LW after getting pieced up by the Aussie.

 

[ThroughTheDakr]

UFC needs to issue the big bucks for Islam to face Illia. Wasted opportunity not to

 

[CieloLuce]

Nah. Let Topuria knock out Charles first for the interim belt.

Then Islam better vacate the 155 belt if he isn't going to go back down.

Islam vs Charles should be good. Either huge KO and coming out for Ilia or a vintage Charles performance after facing adversity.

 

[Gilday]

Islam can come back down to unify his title with Ilia after JDM batters him

 

[El Fernas]

Why? Makhachev isnt vacating the title nor are they going to strip him, he is on a record run at LW, 4 defenses (and counting), fight is happening eventually.

 

[fortheo]

Islam has said he isn't vacating his LW belt, which suggests he will be fighting the winner of Topuria and Charles after his little WW side quest. I doubt it though.

 

[meast]

Topuria can move up again under the guise of “this guy has been ducking me for years”

 

[Ladron4sherdog]

He'll come back after he takes the WW title. If he wants to relinquish the LW title after that, it's his call.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

We will, once Islam comes back down to LW after getting pieced up by the Aussie.

Not happening, if Belal could piece him up and take him down, Islam will finish under a round.

 

[jeff7b9]

If ... Ilia beats Charrles

We see that fight.

Islam is not vacating.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Let’s be real. Jack ain’t fighting for at least another 6 months. Is Islam going to wait that long? The Top fight might happen anyways.

 

[benebox]

So Charles vs Topuria for interim?

Interim? Islam has to relinquish if he moves up.

Will he cut back down to 155 IF he wins the WW strap though?

I bet he plays the "it depends on who wins" card again.

If he had to choose between fighting Shavat of Ilia or Charles winner, 155 might not look so bad.

If the UFC does some retarded shit like giving Usman or Buckley or Brady a shot...

The UFC has plenty of time to fuck things up for us

nont ahh

 

[FreedomCricket]

Jack's gonna need a a few weeks, so that could allow Islam to defend against Topuria before meeting end of the year with JDM.

I think he isnt in a position where the cut to 155 is getting near impossible like Conor who never returned to 145lbs, Makhachev might pull a GSP (Or Conor)and just never intend to defend the 2nd belt, going back to 155lbs.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Paddy vs El Toppydor is going to be a BANGER
