This.I think he’ll definitely go for it but it’s not gonna work
And his single legs in closed stance matchups is wicked fastIslam uses single legs a ton. The double leg he uses far less often but we saw him make midfight adjustments and time a couple slick double legs on Volk that caught the Aussie completely off guard. Regardless, I don't think he's at all concerned with Poiriers Guillotine, probably a lot more concerned with being able to avoid exchanging in boxing range at literally all cost.
Yeah but with the south paw on south paw stance setup Islam is much more likely to go for a single leg.Islam barely shoots onto the legs really. Uses more clinch trips and throws. Gonna be hard to even get his head in that position unless Dustin hurts him first
If DP loses, he loses. I just hope he doesn't rock Islam and then pull the guillotine instead of finishing him on the feet. It would give me flashbacks of Nog v Mir II.Islam barely shoots onto the legs really. Uses more clinch trips and throws. Gonna be hard to even get his head in that position unless Dustin hurts him first
Especially since it's so predictable and Islam and his coaches know he'll probably try it.considering he has never won a fight with that submission id say he has less than 1% chance. could happen. but wont.
It's more likely the opposite. Islam will be fully prepared for it. If Dustin wins by submission (very, very low chance), it will probably be something no one is expecting instead (RNC, leglock, who knows).Honestly with all the talk about how he keeps failing gillys Islam could underestimate it completely and just leave his neck out there for way too long and get caught.
Reminds me of Shogun vs Chael. I just don't think Shogun respected Chael's BJJ what so ever so he just left his neck out there in the open to be snatched and Chael grabbed it.
Well considering Dustin has never finished a guillotine in his fucking career and Islam is one of the best grapplers we've seen, I would say the chances are not very high.What are the statistical chances of Dustin hitting a successful guillotine on Islam?
Guillotines are not some unusual submissions in MMA, and despite many things going in favor of Islam we CANNOT underestimate the potential for a guillotine submission to end the fight.
As they say even a broken clock is right twice a day
No.Can't we talk about the things Dustin is ACTUALLY good at?
