Media Islam Makhachev: "Belal BROKE My Plans for 2nd Belt" - Confirms Wrist Injury

[Black9]

Islam vs Belal if Dana makes it happens, how does it go?

 

[TempleoftheDog]

It’s a shame. If more fighters had the balls (so to speak) of Amanda, and Cyborg. We could see some great fights. At the end of the day it’s an individual sport.

I hope he’s not out long with the injury.

Islam's only real hope is if Shavkhat beats Belal.

If Belal beats Shavkhat, then Islam can kiss that WW title fight goodbye, because I don't see any other threats at WW for Belal.

Its okay, Belal is old and won't stay at the top for long.

To be fair, he's looking like a late bloomer. He looked the best he ever has in every aspect in his last fight.

I see him losing to Shavkhat.
But I see him beating the likes of JDM, Garry, etc.

In b4 the same idiots who said Islam has no business moving up, come out and complain about friends not fighting eachother.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

So... he should actually defend the 155 belt against top 155 contenders ?

 

[Pechan]

Damn, ducking Shavkat already.

I think his plan was to fight Arman and break the record of consecutive defenses at LW so that's what he's been doing.

they barely know each other. so dumb.

fight or shut up

Sounded (in the whole Q&A) like he is waiting for Max vs Topuria and wants “a new challenge” in Max…
Probably doctor will make a decision when Arman is matched against someone else.

Love that Belal is now the 170 champ and we see this comedy here in the background!

It's a sport.

And why the hell does MMA have so many friends?

You don't see this crap in boxing where top guys become friends and vow to never fight.

What if he says ''I can't fight against my central asian muslim brotha''?

[Pequeño Corey]

How close are these guys? I thought Belal did one camp with them.

He hasn't fought a top 5 LW since winning the belt.

unless dustin was top 5, Im not even sure if he was.

That was a great move from Bilol, well played

 

[Conan the K-9]

Last time the number one contender fought for the title at LW was May 2022. Heavyweight sillyness is smol compared to this shitshow.

 

[Mammothman]

Leon was easy food for Islam, I don't blame him for being pissed but at least a friend like Belal is champ.
