Media Islam Makhachev wants Tony Ferguson in July

I’m in for this fight. Tony can prove he’s still relevant and Islam can prove he’s ready to fight the top in the division.
 
Yeah, I'd rather see Islam fight someone on a streak or at the very least coming off a dub if he's going to be a title contender in a stacked division.

Tony is on the downward slope and needs to choose his opponents wisely. If he's at 3 L's in a row, what is even the point anymore, other than more CTE
 
The headline should read “Islam wants to fight a near 40 year old on a 2 fight losing streak”

Perfectly good call out considering Islam is ranked outside of the top 10 and the highest ranked fighter who UFC could get to face him would be one who is up there in age and coming off 2 losses.
 
It’s as close too Khabib vs Tony were ever gonna get
 
I'd like to see him face Chandler.

Tony shouldn't be fighting Islam on a two fight skid, Oliveira shouldn't have to fight Islam, and I think we all know Islam will run through guys like Dan Hooker. Chandler is the perfect matchup, especially since Chandler has wanted to test himself against that Dagestani wrestling.
 
If I was Oliveira or Chandler I would call out Islam. Beat him, finish him, then get on the mic & call out Khabib as he walks a beaten Islam back to the locker room.

I think vengeance for Islam is the only thing that would bring Khabib back.

oliveira is not finishing islam. no way in hell. dont care how slick his subgame is. islam is a better striker, better wrestler and a better all around grapler.

chandler has knock out power and could knock him out, but Islam is a bad match up for oliveira
