Media Has anyone seen this video about Islam Makhachev and do they believe he’s been fighting dirty?

[LiQuiD42]

This reel just popped up in my feed… looks kind of bad for the champ in my honest opinion… discuss.

If you ain't cheatn you ain't tryin.

 

[Nobru]

it looks like this is allowed in the Abu Dhabi special UFC ruleset.

 

[Harlekin]

Islam is known for glove and shorts grabbing, did it against Oliveira, did it against Dustin.
Also headbutted Dustin , which caused the knee to land and break his nose.

Dustin is too much of a warrior to mentioned it. He only mentions it, when it opponent does too many fouls.

What an annoying video with the dumb ass cut scenes and overlays.

 

[RonDante]

Charles did it against dustin also but I’m sure whoever made that video is aware and doesn’t think it’s that big of a deal

Trash content for trash fans.

Everything must be carefully calibrated to appeal to the dregs of society, because that's what MMA fandom is.

If you were(rightly) upset at Charles grabbing Dustin’s gloves keep the same energy for Islam and vice versa.

"Let's see if I get some heat for this video"

Nah, I'm good. No click from me.

He tried this against Volks in Perth too but got warned by the referee.
Craig obviously knew what they were facing and Volks was shaking all that shit off.

 

[RockyLockridge]

It is ditry and it is cheating, but it's islam so it's okay.

 

[Conan the K-9]

I’m sure everyone uses tricks here and there

 

[Skarsgard]

Is anyone surprised?

To be fair that was an accidental head butt. Or do you have some sort of new angle showing it to look like this:
