His best win is against a small FW and he barely beat him. Oliviera was a good win but Oliviera has no defense.. Zero..

Tsarukyan? Bobby Green?? Dober??

Not to mention he has a KO loss that he hasn't avenged.. He's lucky the division best contenders are B level fighters at most like Poirier, Chandler and Oliviera
 
That small FW is the P4P #2 guy in the promotion, that is an amazing win. Volk last and only loss before that was in 2013 at welterweight, Islam snapped his 22 win streak...
Oliveira is #5 in the P4P rankings and has beaten everyone in the five in his division outside of Islam himself, he's gone 12-1 since 2017 with that one loss being to Islam. That is a fantastic win, I don't get how you downplay that.

I agree that outside of those two it's nothing too crazy but I wouldn't call it bad/poor, far from it.
 
But he's destiny's goat. If we could all just end at what our father's thought of us. My dad once said to me hey fuck you son, I'M a redneck! That's back when there were cassette players in 2 wheel drive modified to 4 wheel drive trucks, and to accentuate the slam in silence, I clicked in whatever was in the deck (we were going to his dad's funeral and hadn't seen each other in a few years. not joking, silence and then ....click


I've had this album my whole life, but with that click, it's haunted my whole life and ever since anyone close to me who dies, my brain tossing it up before the phone is done ringing to be picked up. I don't hate it, but to know your brain is tattooed with response, ...
 
Yeah, apologies Prick Flair, another window on the computer is playing Billy Joel, I'm gonna go look for where I belong, you should come over and throw shit at me to your favorite music.

I love how everytime someone brings up Makhachev having a close fight with Volkanovski, it’s always someone calling Volkanovski a small FW. Like that matters, Volkanovski has used his stature to his benefit and Volkanovski isn’t just some random FW, he arguably the best fighter planet. Diminishing Makhachevs over Volkanovski, whilst at the same time diminishing Volkanovski is just flat out sloppy hating.
 
It's not who you beat but how you beat them


Everyone ducked him
 
aww man, you got drunken meat fisted. feel honored. that dude rules:cool:
 
its not his fault nobody wants to fight him even as a champ

Yep, he didn’t beat number 37 th ranked Tony so he is just another Dagestani Ducker !
 
To even insinuate that Islam's resume is overrated feels like a disservice to this MMA prodigy. The man is a living legend, and every time he steps into that octagon, it's a masterclass.

That featherweight you're brushing off? He's the P4P #2 titan in the promotion. The man was on 22-win streak since 2013 (losing against a WELTERWEIGHT), and guess who snapped it? That's right, Islam.

Now, let's set the record straight on Oliveira. He's bulldozed his way through the division's top fighters, and guess who handed him that one stinging loss in his impeccable 12-1 record since 2017? None other than Islam.

Youre also missing out on Islam’s achievements outside the UFC! The man is a 2016 FIAS World Combat Sambo Championships Gold Medalist! And hold your applause, he's also a FOUR-time Combat Sambo Russian National champion. That's the pedigree of a champion.
