Rumored Islam Makhachev is likely to fight at #UFCPhiladelphia on Mar. 30.

Defo would be down for him against edson

 

[Zingerburger]

This is exciting.

Islam is a fucking beast and Khabib's successor.

His chin will make sure he's never champion, or at least one that can rack up multiple defenses

Like Woodley never been koed cold before.Islam was young and it was tko. One loss

LOL the dumbasses that exemplified hooliganism by rioting and fucking up their own city after a Superbowl win are concerned about a handful of Dagestanis. Ok.

This is the same city that booed and threw snow balls at Santa and has jails in their stadiums because fights are so common.

Why would number 5 lee face Islam with no top ten wins.
Can you guys stop living in dream land and look at it from both perspectives
It does absolutely nothing for lee

not trying to be a smart ass at all

but the way the ufc is run,

kabob won the belt by fighting a guy outside of the top ten at the time.

so I wouldn't be surprised to see some of kabobs boys getting gift matchups

to propel them up the ranks fast. just the way the biz works

its not who ya know, its who ya blow.

 

[in the liver]

Im a fan but islam went from extremely under the radar to extremely overrated without even having to fight inside the octagon

how is trinaldo a bad fight? 13-5 in the ufc solid top 15 vet
fought much harder and proven competition

Islam's best win in Nick Lentz prolly -- hes only 2 years younger than khabib -- people making it seem like hes 20

new erick silva?

i like islam but trinaldo sounds about right to me. trinaldo is violent as fuck, i'd be pretty pumped for that fight.

The blow part is extra funny because of his terriost connections

 

[liljuey]

It's probably Gilbert Burns

 

[The_Renaissance]

Too chinny to make waves, this lad.
I'd have him fight someone like Drakkar Klose, actually. That's a good, logical matchup.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

No chin
