News Ilia Topuria Announces UFC 317 RETURN - June 28th

[Serge421]

How does he know if Belol loses on Saturday if he's announcing tonight?

 

[Young Calf Kick]

I'd say it's wholly accurate but okay

That’s on the UFC, not on Islam

 

[Gabe]

Please be Islam

 

[FreedomCricket]

It's gonna be Islam. Always has been. He is the best in the world and it doesn't matter who is in the octagon across from him at 155lbs.

Charles, Dustin, and Moicano were all FWs too. Why is Ilia a problem?

Both Charles and Dustin had many fights at lw by the time they fought Islam. One is the former lw champ and the other is the former interim lw champ. Mociano last fw fight was six years ago. Ilia only has one win at lw back in 2022 over someone who is not even top 30. You don’t see the difference?

 

[pamirec]

fight armen, fight charles, fight gaethje, "Im waiting for the outcome of a fight at WW" is a not a reasonable excuse to not fight.

Islam already beat Arman and Charles. He was ready to rematch Arman. Not his fault that Arman pulled out. Islam doesn’t wanna hear “oh that’s just another manlet on his resume” bs.

It's all just subjective, imaginary criteria to support the fighter someone likes, at the end of the day. That's my point

Topuria announcing his next opponent? Yeah definitely won't be Islam. If t were to be Islam Dana would have announced it himself while yelling into his phone on a live.

Exactly.

How would you feel if it was an interim title fight against Charles Oliveira?

 

[richardjohnson]

I think when you capture undisputed or interim gold at LW and in Charles' case defend it, the tag of "former 45er" should be put to rest.

Moicano hasn’t fought at 145 in nearly six years and weighed more than Islam in the cage, I think it’s safe to say he’s a legit LW as well.

 

[RichardHarrow]

I don’t trust him as a source tbh

 

[LoveMyMMA]

wow, such details much impressed

 

[moosaev]

U low IQ dumb fck uamr broke hand in fight on merabs head! Merab had injured leg and back before fight
Merab beat shit out of yan with broken hand (he broke it before fight) While umar still crys about it
Ur boy islam got knocked fuck out by 37 years old man then got picked up like baby by thiago "nobody" moises and now shut up and go dive between islams legs

One georgian already fucked up ur dagestani rat now another georgian will fck up islam and u will cry while licking islams balls

Umar already had a fractured hand you dumb bitch lol. If you knew how to read you might’ve known that. Bum ass Ilia will never get a chance to fight GOAT Islam, keep fantasizing lol.

 

[Alpha_T83]

At this point if Islam Makhachev hasn't fully committed, I just can't see him fighting at UFC 317. We would know by now if it was going to be Islam.

I hope Belal wins @ UFC 315 and stays at welterweight, and Islam doesn't vacate his belt and doesn't fight at UFC 317.
