Do you love or hate Islam Makhachev?

[Shaddows]

Lived up to his hype and did what he does best to Oliviera. Made it look relatively easy.

So what's your thoughts about him now?

My thoughts is that we shouldn't be so fucking polarized.
And we shouldn't have to laud anyone the GOAT when they just got a belt without any title defense!


I don't like him nor hate him.
he beat one guy I Liked very much, and now I am looking forward to find out what he can do.
But let's not be so blind. He got an undeserving title shot (not his fault). But he has much to prove yet, and I am excited for what the future can bring.

But please!!! Let us get our conclusions at the fucking END of his career.
IMHO he is just getting started.
Have some patience!

 

[Crazy Librarian]

never met him.

Sonny only love Sinderella.

First off nicely said.

Btw, who had a more deserving title shot Brock or Islam?

 

[Neveranine]

Couldn't care less

 

[HatKick]

Neither but I respect his skills. No doubt an all time great in the making and I look forward to seeing more of him, just not a favorite of mine.

[Dana's Moonface]

He's too busy calling out guys smaller than him...

Lol charles was going to call out Volk, you know this

 

[skylolow]

Honestly, outside of being a good fighter I don't think much about him.

Really, his Charles fight is his first fight that I'm guessing a majority of fans even cared he was fighting, right or wrong.

 

[RemyR]

I like him.

Damn good fighter and he’s low key hilarious

 

[Ozze]

Was indiferent to him (and was leaning towards not liking him because of his fans) but after hearing his interviews for the Charles fight and how the fight went, how he behave himself, I know like him.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Not a fan of dominance or the Dage wrestling style. Also not a fan of religious fundamentalists. Just not someone I can root for. I acknowledge his talent though.

 

[Sakurabaism]

You know what's more insufferable than his fans?
People who whine how insufferable his fans are.

Careful, he will run to the mods if you make him cry.

 

[Mal Intentions]

it appears that the majority of people dont give a f

Poll needs more options.

 

[Midget Boxer]

How about a mcgregor poll

 

[Coolkid666]

I like him but think it's dumb he gets a champ vs champ fight right off the bat

Fight contenders boy

 

[JustBleed69]

Whatever happened to that loon Ackmed lol

 

[boingyman]

I just want him to fight and defend the belt. Looking forward to his match against Volk

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

I love him very much.

No homo.

I've been watching "both sides" bicker* about him for years. Here's my conclusion:

1. no one (or so few that we can colloquially say "no one") hates him.
2. but there is a classic "I don't hate him but I hate his fans" situation going on
3. his fans feel this angst and get defensive
4. from that defensiveness, they righteously claim that everyone hates him, and that gets them even more entrenched.
5. which further entrenches the non-haters, who now defensively hate his fans even more.
6. and eventually politics or religion (similar to Godwin's Law) gets invoked and everyone loses their fucking shit.
​

He's a very good fighter.

*Is bicker an insulting enough term for those who engage in these stupid fucking arguments? Maybe "squabble" is better??
