Media Islam Speaks Out

also, if you don't speak his language you're a fake fan

He needs to fight more often

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

He announced his fight with Moises on Instagram and i translated it using Google translate:

"On July 17th in Las Vegas I will have the next fight. In the near future I will fly to America for training.
⠀
We were looking for an opponent for a long time, but we have the following alignment: out of the top 10, none of the free ones agreed to fight for various reasons. They said: “if you want to get the top, you have to wait until November, December”
⠀
My career is going slowly, but in the right direction, winning every fight I get higher in the rankings. Someday in my old age I will reach this belt with a winning streak of 20 fights "

I'm excited to see him fight again (and hopefully turn some more heads).

THAT BEING SAID, this slow-boil career trajectory worries me: If you're fighting all the time, you can take an L or two, get back on the saddle, and get back into contention.
But if he loses his next fight, he will absolutely fall off the map into obscurity for another year or two until he fights again, and Lord knows he better win that one!

Good luck to him nonetheless, he's an excellent and exciting fighter.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

he is not very good fighter but wish him luck in improving and cracking top 10 soon

 

[Pakman]

I believe he could be a new record holder of championship wins in the future. The record now is 3 btw in LW.
It's reported he beats Khabib in some rounds in sparring, let's see

Khabib has said in terms of technique Islam is a better grappler than he is.

 

[Noraaq]

Like? Drop out of countless fights and beat Dober? Nah son. No one wants to train and cut weight for a guy who rarely shows up. Let him string some appearances together.

Uh, yea.. dominating Dober, who was ranked #14 at the time +7 fight win streak should warrant a crack at the top 10.

 

[chosey whales]

Good for him , being the champ will be nice

 

[SJP_SevenLaker]

Duckers in the top 10.

Maybe. But it isn't. So maybe not.

 

[ejazahmednit]

Fight three times a year
Whomever
Just keep fighting.
Too many fighters frown at gimmie fights, but I feel we need more gimmie fights
People love active fighters and love active winning fighters even more

Even Zabit can speak English now come on son.

It’s crazy that 3 is the max when you consider how long defenses at 170 and 185 were respectively (GSP/Silva).

 

[dildos]

Stop being a pullout princess and fight who he gets and eventually he will get there.

 

[JKS]

Same as Khabib on his way up. Nobody wants to take risky fights.

Not really the same. It's a big misconception that people didn't want to fight Khabib but he got big fights. Not even two years into his UFC career and after 5 fights he got Gilbert Melendez who was ranked #2, fight fell through and he got top 5 RDA like two months later. After he was booked to fight Cerrone, another top 5 and got injured. Then Khabib was booked to fight Tony and again pulled out. They signed the fight again and Tony pulled out. After that he fought all top 10 guys before his title shot, Johnson and Barbosa,
