It's a stupid thing, and whether he's one of my favorites or not it's also not a cool thing.You’re free to not like line jumping, but line jumping is a thing.

JDM outlanded Hafes in every single round, and by big margins in round 2 and 3. There isn't even a case for Hafes to have won round 2, and round 3 should have been 10-8. A very poor card from Sal Damato (as always) doesn't make that a close fight any more than his really poor card made Strickland/Costa a close fight.Hard time with Mitchell’s grappling? He literally threw him like a child - complete ragdolled him into dominant position
islam , a grappler, will have a harder time against someone with no grappling
basil hafez and Kevin holland were both very questionable split decisions!
Because it's true that's why. Obviously islam and his team didn't expect JDM to have developed his TDD this well and that's why they choose to step up just at the moment when Ilia challenged him thinking it would be the easier fight with bigger reward. Pretty ridiculous how you're now trying to change that narrative after finding out JDM was better than expected.Why ? JDM is a tough fight, way more than Topuria
international fight week?When z fight? Tentatively
I think so too. His cheeks exposed that he had zero intentions to make LW anytime in the near future. He has been on that sambo vitamins diet for a while, just waiting for his buddy to lose the title.
He really should vacate because he’s not going to defend the LW title anymore.

To say Toporia is a much easier fight than JDM is borderline retarded. Toporia has legit wrestling and bjj AND as tight striking.
I'm not downplaying anybody, I'm just speaking facts and calling out Islams hypocrisy.I honestly don't know what to say. No matter what, you want to downplay Islam, pretending that he's scared of Topuria, but the's taking the biggest fighter of the two. You go as far as pretending that Islam is not sure anymore, because of the way JDM defended the takedowns...
JDM is the bigger challenge by far, Topuria is another FW, for the moment, who proved less than Volk, when he got a titleshot and yet, people downplay that win for Islam.
Big respect to Islam, let Topuria prove his level at LW.
Islam is getting the Volk treatment. He's going to go up, get KOd, go down, get KOd again. It's over.Not a good time to let Islam go up since there are interesting fights in both divisions with the existing champs, but it is what it is. It would be better if Islam could do what Ilia did and drop one title to go for another so we don't have to get stale title scenes.
You're in luck. He's going to get sparked twice. Once going up, once going back down. Calling it now.I’m not an Islam detractor by any means but it would be pretty funny if JDM sparked him.
Topuria vs Islam is dead..
But Charles vs Topuria + Jack Della vs Islam will be DAMN fun too.
I would fucking love that but not holding my breathShavkat will get his shot first, Islam should have to fight Brady for the next title shot.
Nobody likes him unfortunatelylol Islam never cared for Belal did he
WOOO JDM WON!!
LETS GO!!! DOUBLE CHAMP BABY!! WOOO
