Conor v Islam

That's a shame. Maybe he should do more to promote himself... You want to make money off an American market, gotta play the game somehow

It's not a lack of promo it's his abundance of skill that makes him a terrible matchup.

He's a bigger draw than the other names CDF is calling out.

Has there ever been a person more ducked than Islam? Hooker, Felder, Tony, Conrad, Dustin and others pretend he doesn’t exist and only call each other out

Islam Bless

Considering that the guy doesn't even speak much English yet, I think there's plenty of room to improve on the promo side.
 
It is all about confidence

Ali hates Conor and never wants him to get a TS... but he's offering him to get a TS with one LW win... because he is betting on Islam that hard to make him confident that Conor won't win.

Conor wants nothing more than a TS at LW... and he's getting offered a TS with a single LW win over a guy who isn't ranked and would build confidence against Khabib... but he isn't because he is betting against himself (vs Islam) that hard, confident that he wouldn't win.

Speaks volumes really. So yeah he will likely stick to twitter. Looks like Ali and Conor finally agree on something.

He struggled against that other noob Arman Tsuarkrun. Now all of a sudden people are ducking him... lmao. What top guy has Islam beat? Name one.

Touch-butt matches on the AKA wrestling mat vs high school kids don't count.

People are only "ducking" to the extent that they themselves prefer to fight HIGHER ranked opponents with BETTER name recognition, so THEY can make a name for THEMSELVES. In this case, this is perfectly reasonable because they want to move up in the rankings and make a name for themselves. They don't owe it to some nobody who has beat nobody good to fight them.

Obviously Conor doesn't agree with you, otherwise he'd be jumping at the chance to fight an overrated chump for a TS

Ali has recently went on record saying that beating Islam would guarantee conor a shot at khabib
it would be a big fight because conor is fighting. this fight will never happen. 1 because ali actually has no sway 1 because conir us retired and 3 because no way dana will let a rat like ali push his weight around.

Islam has no selling power
I know what you guys are thinking, his low ranking?

This fight fucking SELLS

It would be sold as a grudge match and casuals would lap it up

Many would probably think he was one of the guys that attacked conor

In fact I think there's many plusses for mcgregor

Huge ppv due to grudge?

Similar style to khabib, which means ideal preparation and confidence going into a rematch?

A good way to really goad khabib into a rematch and maybe really gain a psychological edge this time?

If I was conor I would be be signing a.s.a.p

Unless this 'undeserved' low ranked contender is too good for conor?

I know you guys will say undeserved, but if this fight was made it would be huge

Certainly bigger than the last shambles and I would rather watch this than another round with nate

It's a win, win

Sure you conor fans always say he was unprepared for khabib and Islam is a nobody? An easy path for another ts then

Khabib/Islam fans are happy he gets a shot at the big time and if Conor wins at least he earned the next ts shot at khabib/justin

Of course it never happens, as conor doesn't want to lose to Islam, but it would be a big fight for sure

I would watch and so would all you

Cowboy was a big name, fight made sense money, fame and PPV wise.
Islam is still a nobody, besides for his muslim nuthuggers.
No top 10 wins or even fights.
Why dafuq Conor, being biggest name in the sport should fight a nobody?
Lose lose for Conor, Ali wants to weasel his fighter and himself for a big undeserving payday.

Conor should better fight Jorge - it could break PPV records, would be an interesting fight and a great trash talk build up.

Islam should fight Kevin Lee or other top 10 at last.

He couldn't dominate a guy in scrambles that was just on the prelims 2 nights ago. Yeah he's super scary.
 
Islam isn't Khabib, I feel Conor would actually knock him out. Islam hasn't proven anything yet, Conor demolished current, past, and future champs in his day. I could be wrong, and he mauls Conor, but let's not get crazy
 
Conrat has no chance against Makachev. He will Clinch him, make him tired and choke him out.
 
I could only see the retiree taking this fight because Islam has little english so will not be able to call him the names he rightly deserves to be called
 
High risk, low profit move, just like in any life situation, people will avoid it. And UFC is bussiness, deal with it.

He has no value whatsoever, neither is a draw.

It isn't ducking. Its avoiding wasting time.

Conor has no chance against a guy who was finished by Adriano Martins? I know it's MMA math and all but still mate rather a ridiculous statement. I actually agree in a sense though, he has zero chance of ever beating Islam because there's nigh on if not actually zero chance that Conor fights him.
 
The rat Ali should be thankful to Conor for the millions, and accept a rematch to show his thanks. But a ratsnake leech like Ali would never do such a thing.
 
Yeah you're getting a bit deluded here

First of Ali doesn't ultimately decide who fights who, that's the UFC's job.
Conor vs Islam would not be a 'huge' draw like you claim. Islam does not have enough of a star power and is ranked #11 while Conor is ranked #4. There are far bigger names and bigger fights out there for Conor that would make far more sense. Think of it like this, who has he beat that warrants a Conor fight.

Although I do agree that Islam is a bad match up for Conor stylistically, but I think a motivated Conor can definitely be very dangerous and do some damage

If you want to call me deluded quote me

There's bad blood and casuals would lap it up

Do you really think Dustin, Tony etc would sell better?

If there was no connection to khabib, then of course you are right

I would bet anything that the fight would be massive. Much bigger than his last fight with ranked cowboy

Also what better statement to make, than knocking out Khabib's cousin and training partner. Not to mention the confidence conor would have going into the rematch

Khabib would also practically beg conor for another fight, should he knock out Islam

The only reason the fight doesn't get made is because conor doesn't fancy it
Due to the risk

My money would be on islam
 
LOL @ Conor coming out of retirement to lose to Islam

Conor is retired for good this time
