Conor v Islam

[Dana's Moonface]

Ali has recently went on record saying that beating Islam would guarantee conor a shot at khabib

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

Islam crushes Conrad maybe even worse than Khabib did

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

It would be a way more meaningful fight than the fight vs Cerrone. It’s also far from a gimme fight for Conor. Will never happen though, like you said.

Conor ko’s him with the first punch thrown

 

[kezxtie]

Conor touches that papier-mâché chin once and it's a wrap

 

[Joinho10]

You make great points.










He wont.

Happy days bro

He should fucking sign immediately and get the ts

Khabib would never turn him down then

 

[Peli]

Similar style to khabib? Islam is more of a striker that's a good grappler. Khabib is an elite grappler. Conor has a chance against islam. I think conor has higher fight iq than islam. He didn't see that flash KO coming, its possible he won't see conor's angles. Conor has no chance against Khabib

 

[charalsias]

I think you should add the full name on the title TS, to avoid shennanigans by people who won't read your post...

 

[Slatersan]

The old Conor is never coming back. Hes become a lazy rich guy.

The problem is that if Islam wins, he won’t fight khabib

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.

I want to see Oliveira vs Islam. Would be a great fight. Closest thing to Ferguson vs Khabib we will ever see. I’m not interested in Conor vs Islam. Conor is retired anyways.

 

[bleeder]

it'd sell better than cowboy-mcgregor but the difference is islam is an actual threat to conor, and the ufc isnt going to let their golden boy lose without being able to cash into a gigantic pay day. makhachev is basically unknown and if he won casuals would have their image of mcgregor shattered permanently.

Make Islam fight DIego Feirera.

Except it doesn't sell. Yes, we would watch but without paying. Casuals, yeah definitely not doing either of those.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Conor is already 0-2 against Islam

Khabib and Tukhugov

Inshallah

Didn't Arman Tsuarkrun out grapple an ADCC champ like yesterday? and a BJJ black belt in the fight before?
