so what ?Islam has gotten like 10 bum nobodies in a row and now gets another easy gimme fight with the ghost of RDA. lol
Maybe... RDA is oldUnderwelming, especially considering it's a 3 rounder, but at least it's a step up in competition from Moises.
Maybe... RDA is old
bro hope this fight gets cancelled because of a falseIslam gets to fight a 38 year old that RDA that crumbled vs most every wrestler he faced? (Khabib, Chiesa, Usman, Covington, Guida etc)
I was really hoping he'd get a fresher opponent. Oh well, Islam probably wins then fights for a title or one more after RDA then a shot.
RDA nearing 40 years old is 2-4 in his last 6 fights and 5-5 in his last 10.
He had no other choices. He tried to get chandler, the ufc seemingly set it up that way too. They got chandler to be on the desk during his show. Islam didn't really deliver from a promotional standpoint. Had Islam delivered a great performance in the traditional sense, I think he gets taht fight for Abudhabi, but this fight is the fight that makes sense. He was never getting Dariush because they share the same manager. Despite some people thinking it was going to happen.
İt's lame, him vs dariush was the perfect #1 contender fight
Mate, Beneil said he won't fight till next year so he can focus on his newborn, why should other people wait on him?
RDA and Islam are ready to go, Justin and Chandler are ready to go, why wait for someone not ready?
Jan vs Glover
Aljo vs Yan
Khamzat vs Jingliang
Harris vs Tuivasa
and now Islam vs RDA
This is shaping up to be one of the best cards of the year boys. Sign me up. I’ll take Islam by decision.
