Media DDP responds to Islam coming for his belt… “you’re not Conor McGregor”

[koa pomaikai]

DDP makes some sense here, he talks about how Champions need to defend before going for double champ status.

He says Islam is dreaming big to come for his belt and that he’s not Conor, Conor did it first and everyone is trying to be him.

I thought DDP was on point with evrything except the Conor comments. Lest we forget Dustin just finished Conor and Islam just beat Dustin.

Oh you

 

[HNIC215]

What a crazy fight that would be though...

 

[fortheo]

His point was that Conor got special privileges because of the money Conor brought in and now everyone wants to be like him and get the double belt status. He wasn't suggesting islam was worse than conor

 

[Luthien]

Who would be stronger between Islam / DDP ?

 

[Gladiator24]

I didn’t know DDP was a Conor super fan, just shows how iconic and inspirational Conor has been for the sport

 

[flowoftruth]

Did Islam himself talk about Middleweight ? I heard Javier mention it when someone asked him about it, but all he pretty much said was that Islam would have to do some bulking up first.

What? I thought his point was that Conor achieved it. He said it was speculator (his performance on Eddie) and that Islam isn’t Conor and won’t put on that performance against him.

DDP said he walks around at 225 - 230 lbs in the off-season and cuts to 215 lbs for fight night and then 185 lbs for weigh ins. Islam is around 5 inches shorter than Dricus and Islam tops out at 185 - 190 lbs in the off-season. This was perpetuated by Belal since Belal does not want Islam to come for his belt so he threw Dricus' name out there for Islam to chase. The whole notion is ridiculous as size and strength difference is way too big between the two.

Islam needs to get fat, I mean we’ve seen DC vs Jones. If Islam gets fat like DC, it’s not even a bigger size difference than DC vs Jones. Or DC vs Stipe or DC vs Lewis lol.

Belal sure got balls deep in DDP's head with those comments

Then he is still right. Do you think Islam could have an performance against DDP, like Conor had against Eddie?

I didn't even know Islam wanted to challenge for the MW belt, lol. I would love to see that.

Yeah, because that's the most logical reason your brain could come up with for why someone would favor a middleweight champ over a lightweight champ.

 

[Ruke Doufus]

Islam should take Belal's belt first then go after DDP's

 

[storeybuckle]

Sure!

 

[Striker Fox]

Sure!

Balls deep and just can't let it go. Almost as bad as when Strickland called him out for his fake injury and sus relationship with his coach, and he resorted to some questionable low blows about Strickland being abused as a child
