You mean similar to Volk’s situation, having been finished twice for his efforts to be great?You're in luck. He's going to get sparked twice. Once going up, once going back down. Calling it now.
This is one of those breaking Silva's leg and then breaking your own types of karma.
WW is logged jammed for so long. Islam may deserve the opportunity, but fuck man these contenders have no choice but to sit around or eliminate each other. All so we could get Usman rematches, Colby titleshot, and now Islam double champ. It's basically not operating like a real division.Nah, welterweight has two guys waiting like Shavkat and Brady
Perhaps even Buckley soon if he beats Usman, this fight would fuck up the division like most double champ bouts do
If Islam wants to move up, he should vacate the lightweight belt and fight one of the top contenders to earn it

You know Pride had stupid matches too. Like Fedor as champ fighting Zulu. The difference is that those fights showcased the champs skill with a free highlight reel, and they would still defend their belts a couple times a year. If champs fought more it could absorb the time of these wasted fights, but a full 6 months before and after is brutal to wait.Divisions has sadly not been cared for since the WME takeover.
Having some melt down on page one of this thread aloneThese mouth breathers about to find out why their leader khabib would rather hospitalise himself rather than move up.
Weight classes matter. Your wrestling doesn’t work as well against bigger guys
Why is being the FW champ relevant? Topuria has a win over a top 3 lightweight, Islam has never fought a welterweightBecause he defended 4 times, unlike Topuria, who's not even the champ of FW...

Yes.You mean similar to Volk’s situation, having been finished twice for his efforts to be great?![]()
He should do what Islam did to Topuria and tell him to fight a contender first.lol
A hard time with Bryce's grappling.... lololol Bryce did nothing but get beat up after getting that takedownYou are definitely retarded or talking out of your ass, you should watch Topuria's fight in LW, he got dropped by the great Herbert. He also had hard time with Mitchell's grappling...
Yes, Jack is the champions of his category, Topuria has yet to prove that he's a menace in LW.
Wait what? JDM pummels Ilia in a fight.Best case for Islam
He must be ecstatic
Ilia is better then jack ..
And if he who really cares - caz he dared to be great - no risk and high reward …. Vs high risk and low reward vs ilia
I think Islam can get the take takedowns - unlike Belals half asses attempts
The real loser here is Charles Olives … now he has to get bodied brutally by ilia …. He should pull out and the ufc should make ilia vs arman for number one

Exactly! He wanted Topuria to fight a contender before facing him, he has to own up to his own words and do the same if he wants the WW belt.Make him fight a contender first. Ian Garry.
That's honestly fair. If Shavkat was next for JDM, I could easily see them telling Topuria to fight Ian Garry to earn his #1 contender spot. Totally reasonable.He should do what Islam did to Topuria and tell him to fight a contender first.lol
100%Bro was crossing his fingers that Belal would lose
