Media ISLAM on his next fight, Khabib-fame and Khabib-sparring

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

wait I thought the FIghter Kevin Lee fight was almost a certainty?

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

They all look alike to me, they need some diversity in Dagestan.

yeah, no. leave that shit for Sweden or Canada.

seems like we’ve been hearing about this fight over 2 years now

Islam vs lee would be incredible

Lee would christianize his ass

 

[Paulsp]

Lee would christianize his ass

I hope so

Allah bless our unbeaten Khabib.

WHEN WE HAVE FAITH IN ALLAH EVERYTHING WILL BECOME EASY EVEN IN THE MOST DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES

 

[Calipwnia]

No it doesnt,he will get ragdolled.Barboza is a gatekeeper at this point.

That’s what’s gatekeeper is. What did you think a gatekeeper was?

 

[Ackmed]

wait I thought the FIghter Kevin Lee fight was almost a certainty?

The fighters both say they want it...I think it's the matchup that makes the most sense.

 

[khabib time]

- Dec 7th interview
- no solid booking yet
- he's training and expecting to get an opponent between January and March
- feels he'll likely get a top-10 opponent this time
- his sparring sessions with Khabib are competitive

It's time for Islam to get a crack at a top 10 guy and Oliveira to get another crack too.

 

[MartinGibson86]

After beating Ferguson I wouldnt be surprised if Khabib threatens to retire unless UFC finally gives Islam a top 10 opponent.

Gregor was 6-0 with 5 finishes before getting a top 10.

You Dagi huggers act like hes been getting the shaft for years.

His best win is Nik Lentz and he's been KO'd by a journeyman.

 

[rbenzell01]

Maybe Kevin Lee would take him on?

But I truly believe most fighters above are scared to fight Islam.

He's talented as hell but I don't get why fighters are shook of him, he's shown his chin is quite fragile so there's a good chance of beating him.

Not a dagi hugger, but...

Islam is 6-0 in his last 6 fights

He's 7-1 in his last eight

So, yeah, he deserves top ten, stop hating.

 

[rbenzell01]

I wouldn't call it fragile.

He did take a good hit for his first loss, but he wasn't really out, or asleep

Since then he hasn't been knocked out, so I don't get the no chin argument.

 

[rbenzell01]

Fake news

Arman tsarukyan has been trying to get a fight for 2 months now

Um, Islam already wooped him. You're late.

Why would islam fight him again? He's not even ranked

 

[Negator402]

Here's the top 10 ranked contenders. Of them five don't have fights booked: Edson, Al, Fighter Kevin, Dustin and Justin.

Al or KL make sense. Islam will not get Justin or Dustin, and I think Barboza is tired of wrestlers.

Man, Barboza has lost alot for such a great fighter. Tony, Khabib, Justin, Felder, Kevin Lee...

 

[ArmenianAssasin]

Um, Islam already wooped him. You're late.

Why would islam fight him again? He's not even ranked

First I’m not asking for him to fight him - I’m saying nobody else is willing to sign to fight him

Second , he hardly whooped him

He took the fight on 5 weeks notices making his ufc debut at 21 years of age and lost 29-28 - unfortunately he gassed a bit and had jitters

 

[MartinGibson86]

Not a dagi hugger, but...

Islam is 6-0 in his last 6 fights

He's 7-1 in his last eight

So, yeah, he deserves top ten, stop hating.

I'm not hating. He hasn't even beaten a top 15.

Khabib threatening to retire due to Islam getting shafted is pure fantasy.

 

[legkicktko]

He might be the best LW in the world but the UFC is keeping him on a string because he wont fight Khabib and they dont want him killing off all contenders. Shame

They’ve booked him verses ranked guys multiple times he pulls out and creates the fake narrative

 

[legkicktko]

This is the most avoided athlete currently in MMA.

NOBODY in the top 10 wants any part of him....I would be really nice if Kevin Lee steps up. I feel Lee is a true competitor and when he says he wants to fight Islam, I honestly believe him.

His PR team is off the chain...

He’s been booked against ranked opponents multiple times and has either failed the drug test, gotten injured, or pulled out for religious reasons each and every time.
