Who’s next for Islam? O’Malley? Sterling? Cejedo? Halloway?
People just seem to naturally hate on the dagestanis. Maybe it’s the casuals because khabib embarrassed Conor who they loved.
Serious?
He arguably lost the belt to Volk in Australia.
Then he beat Volk who took the fight on 10 days notice. How does that say anything?
Fight Poirier, fight Gaethje, Fight Chandler, rematch Charles... if you beat them all, then go up and claim the WW belt like BJ Penn did.
Then we can call you 155 GOAT
All over
Obviously if he runs through the guys you listed he is 100% the LW goat
Learn to read maybe? I did include Whittaker, and what kind of clown thinks it's not doing well if you win a title but eventually lose laterwho cares how guys do when moving down? Islam isn't moving down so it doesn't matter in this context. guys moving up have done very well? DC got KO'd and lost a best out of 3 vs Stipe. BJ got beat by GSP, Conor has 1 win at 155lbs and it's Eddie Alvarez. Cejudo also just lost to Sterling who got destroyed by O'Malley. just because you get gifted a title shot and end up winning doesn't mean they do well. you didn't even name Robert Whittaker and he's a much better example of what you're arguing. but who even cares about all of that, you know what i mean. i'm not dogging Islam, but his title defenses have been against 1 guy who is a FW. those are facts. you want to be a GOAT? then start beating some LWs...
even if gamrot sucks, should have been him. on paper short notice fight, trained, in the division > any short notice fight everGamrot is not that good, he has to be the luckiest fighter ever. Robbed Tsarukyan, struggled mightly against Turner, Fiziev got Injured against him...
Volk in short notice >>> Gamrot.

Oh, well Cejudo lost a split decision coming out of retirement after 3 years, so he's obviously a bum. Incredible this needs to be said, but just because you didn't beat guys who are better than you in every area doesn't mean you're undersized or performed worse.
Yeah, anybody can move up and win a title. Well anybody except Volk apparently. Champion means nothing if you eventually lose later.because you think winning a title means more than their actual record at that weight. you mention Conor, what kind of clown mentions that guy when talking about successful weight jumps? don't be mad because not everyone wants to crown someone the King of his weight class when he hasn't defended his title vs anyone in his weight class. it's as simple as that.
