How is Islam supposed to walk through JDM if he struggled with Dustin?

What does that prove? You had 2 guys that were compromised, how does that negate my point about Islam not being at his best?

Your response was all about Islam, not about Dustin and jdm, which is obviously the other half of this topic. My guess is that since this thread is comparing JDM and Dustin, that poster wanted to point out that while Islam might be better now and not have staph, JDM won't be a lightweight with an injured rib either.

i dont know about yall, but in no way did islam struggle against dp.

i am hoping we see islam fade in the later rounds, that's about JDM's best chance.

he has to be perfect for five rounds, which is going to be hard to do.

either islam gets it done early via wrestling/submission, or JDM catches him in the fifth.

But that’s my whole point, we won’t know what version of Islam will be facing which version of JDM. It’s sort of a pointless mental exercise.

It might be your point, but you only backed up your point arguing from Islam's side.

Anyways, I don't know. I'm not the one who brought it up

How is Khamzat supposed to beat DDP when he struggled against the tiny Burns ?

 

[balkanbomber85]

Dustin not only went into that fight with an injured rib, but he went in on 6 weeks notice while still beat up from his camp and fight against BSD, meanwhile Islam was training to fight on UFC 302 since before Dustin even fought bsd.

You won't hear that from Islam fans, though.

Wait, what, no, you are a hater and an islamophobe for pointing that out!!!

 

[SuperAlly]

Because this type of thing has happened thousands of times before and MMAth doesn't work

 

[Blastbeat]

Hot take - Dustin vs JDM would be a war

Bc he’s gonna be roided to the grills. Saw an interview with him where in 20 min he repeated like 3637 times that he started taking creatine for this fight.
Flashback to all my roided gym bro’s who got big all of a sudden and repeated the same all the time, just to admit later on they hopped on gear. When Islam without even being asked about kept repeating sort of trying to justify sth that he started taking creatine he basically admitted roiding till there’s no tmrw…

Islam won every round against DP. The only reason why it is considered "close" is because people thought he'd choke him out instantly.

It took Khabib 3 rounds to beat DP also, and DP's grappling had improved since then.

Yeh, no.....

 

[bjjwar]

Yeh, no.....

Lol his interview 10 days ago on Espn mma is a dead giveaway. You prob never met people who roided…

Haha, reminds me of Jon Fitch. I watched an interview with one of his teammates and he said that when Jon started roiding they all knew because Fitch came back to the gym one day after being gone for a few months or so and looking more jacked than before and he claimed that he had stopped eating vegan and started eating meat.

creatine = steroids. oh ok.

People love to look at the worst fights of guys they don't like and try to represent that as the same person fighting every night. Jones struggled with Reyes, how is he going to beat Gane?

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Poirier is another striker, with sort of good TD, who Islam struggled with severely and Khabib ran over because he has better balance, fight iq, chin, confidence, and top control. Both fought Dustin at their peaks.

JDM is way bigger than Dustin and has even better tdd.

All these guys from Khabib's gym are fantastic, but the most amazing grappling from Abdulmanap was given to his own son, Khabib, not Islam, or Khabib's cousins for that matter. The grappling seems to be getting diluted with each new successor even though I think they will all be champ at some point.

Dustin is a big boy, and a great fighter, why do you keep putting him down?

roided Gleison smokes them all 30-29

Bro, he’s using it as an excuse. Just look at his espn interview 10 days ago. When you’ve been around roiding people trying to hide it you’ll know 10000% lol. They all behave the same way…

I get that Islam can not openly admit that he is roiding, but the more he tried to « explain » it without actually even being asked about it the more he gave it away. I’ve seen this same behaviour 100 times already, people trying to justify themselvese evey 5 sec is basically the biggest mistake they can make.
