Islam will no longer fight at welterweight if he defeats JDM?

[PDestroyer1405]

I believe the UFC should get guarantees from Islam and his team that if he beats JDM, he must defend the title at least once. Just imagine how incredible a fight between Islam and Shavkat would be. But most likely, Islam will retire right after winning his second belt.

Has anything indicated this prediction?

 

[Madmartigains]

Why do you think he would retire? He's only 33 and hasn't taken a lot of damage.

He can do whatever he wants, they took the LW belt from him, he owe them nothing.

It's a really tough fight against JDM, let him win that first and then we start talking about the next step.

Sooooo he nor anyone on his team said this, you just think so and made a thread title leading people to believe this was something he or his team said.

They made that stipulation when GSP moved up to fight for the MW belt.........

1 year layoff, bulk up muscle, fight ddp, thats the plan.

Sorry, I meant anything real, not just your vibes

Ali did say Islam would dominate 185 and 205 so those are obviously next (depending on who has the belt, the time of year, the weather, and what vegetables are in season).

Best thread I've seen in a while

I think Islam stays at WW if he beats Jack. I do think he wants the legacy and more importantly.. not to cut so much weight.

 

[Tweak896]

Islam just has to promise to defend the belt and retire after for health reasons, problem solved

 

[Kevster]

Like make a pinky promise.

 

[PrideNverDies]

He obviously will but Islam nuthuggers will probably argue otherwise

 

[nostradumbass]

This forum has devolved into schizos making threads based on nothing.

 

[burningspear]

would be the absolute worst time for him to retire

Yeah I figure Islam likes the style match up, if he wins will declare himself GOAT and retire.

Khabib retired at 32 and is probably telling him it's a good place to end it before he catches a beating.
