if Islam loses against Arman

[Aurelian]

Just Dial Usman Nurmagomedov if he loses. LW should be held by a real Nurmagomedov, not a replica in Islam.

I think I've heard Khabib say Usman isn't ready yet for top UFC fights so I imagine Islam beats him up in practice.

No lightweight champ has defended the title more than three times, so there’s a chance Islam could lose to Arman. Plus, Arman is a really good fighter, so theres a big chance Islam loses. If he loses by decision, would he get an immediate rematch? And what if he gets submitted or knocked out?

I would say yes in both cases. Islam has two rubies which by my unofficial rule can be cashed in for a title fight. As others have said there is also the previous win over Arman that creates a good trilogy fight story line.

I think I've heard Khabib say Usman isn't ready yet for top UFC fights so I imagine Islam beats him up in practice.

I don't think Khabib would ever say that. He took the lead in Usman's last post fight interview to reiterate father's plan and state how good Usman is at 26 and will complete the dynasty, being next after Islam which obviously refers to being UFC LW champion.

Islam on the other has said it in no uncertain terms. Islam has said that Usman will have to wait until he is done because there is no way he could take the belt from him even if he tried and he (Usman) knows it because he (Islam) does kick his ass in the gym all the time.

he is ready, they just don't want him up there yet while Islam is playing with food. He still has time and bellator paying him well.

The same Arman that almost got submitted by Oliveira with a D'arce?

Islam will never lose to Arman.

God pls no more immediate rematches, it's retarded, it's stupid, and all of it above.

This is coming from a big Islam fan

 

[Strijfy]

where are they fighting again? if it’s in abu dhabi, and it goes to decision, islam is 100% getting the nod.

if he loses by ko or sub, he’s getting a rematch.

armen should be wary of point deductions too. not that he is a dirty fighter, but that’s one easy way to launder a robbery decision. quite frankly, he needs a ko or a sub.

you know none of the judges will be from Abu Dhabi?

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

The same Arman that almost got submitted by Oliveira with a D'arce?

Islam will never lose to Arman.

I remember people talking mad shit about Matt Serra when he got the shot against GSP...

 

[TJ Dillashank]

Armen gassed on the 2nd rd in their first fight and got 30-27 by Islam. People said that he’s gotten a lot better since that fight. Guess what? So has Islam. I think Islam will be at least -250 favorite.

To be fair that was a short notice fight for Arman

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Unless there’s real controversy. There should be no instant rematches.

But I suspect it will depend on how badly the UFC want Islam as the LW champion. They love that oil money.

You should probably have started with this instead!
They love that oil money.

I don't see a immediate rematch. I don't think Arman would be into it either, he wants to build a legacy.

How long have you known Arman? Always find it odd that those who don't know the fighter, pretend to know what a stranger wants or thinks.

 

[humdizzle]

its unlikely... Arman got put in all sorts of bad positions against charles.

Let me explain something to you. There is this thing called "media" it's an entire industry or reporters, writers, podcasters etc, that speaks to fighters, managers, promoters and so on and reports to the public on everything to do with their careers. The "media" has done interviews with Arman numerous times where he talks about his career and what he wants in his future. He's been vocal on building a legacy and certain key fights he wants. As a fan with eyes and ears, I am able to read and watch these interviews and gain perspective on this.

Fighters don't just keep their plans and thoughts to themselves, they actually talk to people about it to be publicized.

Got it?
