Yeah you're just fixated on one group of fighters so you don't see it.

I'll give you an example, I've always been one of the biggest supporters of Izzy on this board but when he did what Islam did and tried to get out of the dricus fight by offering either a ludicrously short turn around for dricus after a fight with Whittaker or he'll just fight Strickland instead I called Izzy out on it first. And this was before Islam ducked Armen/Charles/gaethje to fight Dustin. I called out Izzy for doing this a fighter I've always supported just the same as I called out Islam. You may not like it but those are the facts.

I do not have two sets of rules for fighters. That's you guys. Not me. I don't give free passes. Everyone is worthy of critique.

I haven’t read all your comments nor you mine. Do we have our favorites ? Of course. Have I also been supportive of everything the mountain team has done ? Not entirely and I also have been vocal.

Suggesting he may be nervous about the potential matchup should lead to a ban in your mind?

…. Not sure how you got that from my comment

but twice...?

What do you mean twice? We’re gonna pretend that was not a last minute replacement.

Even Arman posted a video on twitter explaining why he doesn’t want to.

You should be thankful Volk was the only one willing to save the day. Nobody at LW was willing to risk short prep time. Did you think Moicano was also gifted or earned a title (obviously neither).

Not sure why you are asking about banned accounts in response to my comment ITT.

Ilia really doesn't deserve the fight without beating up one guy in the weight class first.

Like Jai Herbert, who he delivered probably the best punch KO in LW history against?
