Islam is NOT impressive

[mkess101]

He's not all that great at fighting unless you compare him to essentially every other human being on earth.

Who was it just the other day saying nothing was impressive to MMA fans...

oh

TS would kick his ass.

8 submissions 3 knock outs 6 decisions and two titles in two weight classes equals "not impressive"

You found Khabib boring after the Conor, Porier and Justin fights?

I find that bewildering personally.

I love watching the styles clash. With Khabib, nobody had an answer. It was pretty much the same each and every fight. Loved it at first, the complete domination but towards the end...kinda hmm another one eh maybe I'll read about it...

BREAKING:
Karate forum basement dweller not impressed by UFC double champ!

So Frankie Edgar or Bendo beat him?

Maybe even Josh Thompson

My guess is BJ would beat him and definitely GSP does

Frankie loses but bendo could win.

He’ really good obviously but LW and WW are pure dogsh**. Topuria KO’ed the second best at LW and made him look like a total amateur and Topuria is a small FW lol. The fact that JDM even got to be a champ shows how atrocious WW is too…

“Wrestlefan” my ass. Do better.

 

[RichardHarrow]

I’ve seen some stretches but this one lol

 

[richardjohnson]

I’m guessing TS lost money or sleep because of Islam’s win. Possibly both.

it usually isnt the best idea to type such cope-laden drivel out, when in a highly emotional state.

Dude has like 16 consecutive wins in the UFC and has beaten pretty much everybody they put in front of him other than 1 loss early in his career.

He was the 155lbs dominant champ. Beat the 170lbs champ just now and didn't have time to defend it yet.

Who is impressive then TS?

I feel he's benefited GREATLY from fighting in a weak era. Think it's a coincidence he wants Usman next?

He's an excellent fighter, don't get me wrong, but let's not forget he got sparked out by a pure BJJ guy who couldn't win a fight following his victory over Islam.

Almost lost to Volk the first time... Granted he best him decisively in the rematch, but Volk is a 145er who is almost 40.

His "Dagestani wrestling" only works because he has to use kickboxing skills to set most of his takedowns up. I believe he is also deceptively strong; this is an attribute, not a skill.

He relies too much on the crossface from top. He did it to the point where JDM was about to cry. He should have sacrificed this position to be entertaining instead of stalking out a decision. The fans pay the fighters, and ultimately this is shit entertainment.

He's very good all round... But if you were to take an elite wrestler with world class striking... And with the ability to scramble and do BJJ like Craig Jones (just because JDM trains with him, DOESN'T mean he acquires Jones' skillset)... Who also has his attributes... You'd likely see Islam lose, badly.

Separate your eyes from your gut feelings, even if we don't like a fighter, we can't ignore him if he delivers a world-class performance.

How can you watch what he did to Oliveira and conclude that he isn't impressive?
