Rumored Ilia Vacating the LW Strap?

[xhaydenx]

what is a full camera?

is 2 x 1 half of a camera, bruz, come on.

Only 1 half would only be able to take 1 half picture of his body.

Hopefully, champions that are inactive or cherry pick opponents are awful for the sport and kill divisions.

Could be an interim title. Topuria told the UFC he won't fight Arman, I think.

And if you're going to do Arman vs Paddy, with Topuria ducking, then it has to be an interim title.

But he also said he will fight who ever the UFC want him to fight just last week. I don' think you can be a champ and just decide to not fight somebody at the top, what champ has been able to do it without retiring? Also his stock has dropped like a rock since Mak vs JDM, the size difference makes it weird now as Ilia will look fat if he puts on too much weight because of his height and Mak will die if he cuts. My point is that fight is not the mega fight it was last month when everyone thought Islam was going to run back down to LW and then have to face the "guy he was running from"

[Legendary]

Sounds like he isn't taking his divorce well.

It’s been a couple of hours I just want to re chime in with some new info from sources

Paddy VS Arman Interim LW Championship UFC 324 January first card on Paramount

Ilia is dealing with personal issues in life

 

[The XL]

Ilia is gonna chase Islam to heavyweight. Islam will petition the UFC for a super heavyweight division if need be

Man, if you have to make an "interim" title before the champ has even defended the belt once, just strip him

 

[Neck&Neck]

Paddy vs Arman is a sick matchup I’ve been wanting to see
Sucks tho if GOATpuria is having personal problems

 

[Histalian]

QUACK QUACK

 

[HHJ]

Risky move by Ilia. He's too small for WW.

Fuck Risky, I seriously doubt the UFC lets him

 

[Fedorgasm]

Ilia is going to replace Anthony Joshua, who will pull out of the Jake Paul fight.

I do not understand this kind of thinking whatsoever. What I see is a naturally smaller guy wanting to move up in weight and fight the best of that division, and I think what a fucking warrior! Isn't that what we want to see? Who gives a fuck about titles? This is about fighting, and if a smaller dominant guy wants to fight bigger guys, that's amazing. That's the shit we want to see. That's the whole spirit of this sport that we're watching.

How about we see him fight Arman? Ilia is a straight up bitch if he refuses to stand and defend yet another division.

What is so difficult to understand about MMA fans wanting to watch a champion defend his belt? Right now you are seeing what you WANT to see, because you don't like the alternatives.

Ilia's acting like an entitled bitch, and I can't wait to watch him get humbled and see his fans start crying.

 

[Hassan Mouzine]

is he relinquishing or getting stripped? if he relinquishes I think it's the first time a ufc fighter relinquishes 2 belts from 2 different weight classes

edit: oh never mind, just read that it's an interime title fight, wich suggests that he is not getting stripped or relinquishing

 

[SuperAlly]

Would potentially jive with what was said by Ilia's team member in the othe thread too

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Hopefully, it's a joke. I don't want see Paddy fight for a title.

Arman vs Illia, please.

Chasing bigger challenges and bigger guys to fight and knocking out everyone he faces is not entitled. Just admit you are hater

 

[Greyscale]

No way Illia is going to WW

Would be madness
