Belal would sooner vacate than fight Islam?

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

16 fight win streak plus 5 title defence is enough to warrant second belt.

Islam hasn't defended against the LW challenger, but it's never been for his lack of trying.

Volk earned the shot regardless of who won between Charles and Islam. Sure, it would have felt more evenly deserved if Charles won, but he didn't. It's hard to mock Islam for taking a fight that Volk was going to get rewarded to him for his merits.

Charles beat Dariush, so he WAS the top contender, and was booked for Islam's second defense, but he had to be replaced, so Volk was in again.

Islam was ready to go again after UFC 300, which had Charles vs Arman and Justin vs Max. Justin getting knocked out and Charles losing eliminated them both as contenders. Max winning didn't matter since he was doing to FW again, and Arman won, but got himself suspended, so the only person left was Dustin who was at least top 5 on a win, so he got it.

Then when Arman finally could get his shot, he fucked it up with his back thing and HE had to he replaced.

I can understand someone saying "We really gotta see some top contenders step up to Islam," but any kind of spin to try and make it his fault is ridiculous.

I'd rather see him against Arman, but if the UFC is gonna fuck with Arman's shot because of how he handled it, fighting Belal is much better than pulling another "Dustin"-like fight outta the bag and defending against someone like winner of Gaethje-Hooker, cuz he's just gonna get more complaints from people like you acting like he's had great picks to make at all

Volk earned nothing at lw. There is a reason why weight classes exist and why everyone about kills themselves to make the lower class. Islamb defending the 155 belt against a bunch of 145ers is not a good look at all. Then the 155ers he actually he defended against shouldn't have ever got a title shot to begin with.

Some weird dynamics between Belal and that Khabib camp.

All I know is if Belal thinks he's gonna move up to 185 and do well he is severely mistaken. He will get chewed up bad in that division, his style does not translate well at all into being the weaker and less physically imposing guy.

It's clear I never begged for this. In fact I've always been in the camp that says if you move up a weight class as champ, you always need at least 1 fight in the higher class, and no gifted title shot. Weight classes exist for a reason. That why Islam want to keep these 145ers getting title shots. Again when has Islamb defended against a lw who actually earned a title shot.

You spelled Isgoat wrong

 

[Greyscale]

Ok. I also see a high chance of Islam vacating rather than fighting someone other than washed up featherweights.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Islamb is the worst champ yet. He has yet defended against a deserving LW and yet he only wants to fight 145ers or faking for WW'ers.

Tbf the 1 deserving contender he was supposed to fight got injured (couldn't make weight). That's wasn't in Islam.

 

[Streeter]

I want JDM vs Prates. Thats funnest ww fight that can be made. Thats best fight at 170 imo. Winner gets winner of Shav v whats his name. Buckley can fight Brady for next shot after that.
