Does Islam Makhachev beat both Leon Edwards or Belal Muhammad?

[Takes Two To Tango]

For the title of course, whoever the winner is between Leon/Belal.

That's if the UFC gives what Islam wants and that is a WW title shot.

Belle no doubt. Leon? I don’t see it, Leon will beat him clearly

 

[FreedomCricket]

I think Leon gets submitted.

The other guy has a chance though.

Edwards would KO Makhachev let’s be real here. Islam is extremely hittable. It’s pretty obvious that every time Dustin touched him he got uncomfortable and shot for a takedown. Poirier snapped his head back every time he hit him. Makhachev is a great fighter with amazing wrestling he’s so smart to look for takedowns against the fence and always in the middle of the octagon that being said Edwards striking would be too much for Makhachev

Poirier is a better striker than Leon imo

this is crazy talk despite leon being passive as fuck, he still had the power to ko usman clean. don't think dustin's power is that explosive nor is it as techinical.

saying this as a big dustin fan too...

If Dustin could stuff his takedowns, I think Leon could do so too and point strike with his long ass reach. I don't see Belal defending Islam's takedowns well though but he's got a better chance than we want to admit against Islam, considering he actually fights at WW.

Bizarre people in this thread suggesting that Leon has better TDD than Belal

I mean that’s your opinion which you are entitled too the rest of live in reality. Leon would make Makhachev look easy he would piece him up.

 

[gentel]

Both guys beat him based on what we saw last night, both have shown better grappling than Poirier and are bigger and stronger

Folks keep underestimating Belal- remember the name


Whatever, it's all about the finishing machine
