JDM dog walks Makhachev & will leave him unconscious

Dude was getting ragdolled by Giblert Burns and was 1 minute aways from getting 30-27'd. Islam probably beats him standing before throwing him around and subbing him.
 
Islam properly bulked up to compete at 170 will be a force.

This probably shouldn't have to be stated, but obviously Khabib and Islam feel very confident in this decision considering Islam just gave up his LW title and 4 defenses streak.
That whole bulking up idea is such a myth, GSP proved that when he (a small WW with good genetics for building muscle) tried to “bulk up” with much more time than Islam had and came back bloated with a ruined stomach from trying to cram down too much food

The benefit of going up for Islam will simply be not having to cut weight, he’s not gonna be able to put on muscle unless he runs a cycle

I don’t know what makes people think professional athletes who have lifted for years can flip a switch and put on 10 lbs. of muscle in 6 months
 
Islam is an amazing fighter but he will have the same problem at WW that fighters like RDA & Kevin Lee had, he's just not big enough.

JDM is not only bigger than Makhachev, he is faster & has better footwork. Even though there's not a huge difference in their height but JDM is way more athletic, fluid & has excellent knees & fights great on the inside which will nullify Makhachevs clinch game, something he relies on alot.

JDM hits like a truck & Makhachev doesn't take damage well, I'm not saying Makhachev has a glass chin or anything but unlike someone like Khabib Makhachev marks up & shows damage on his face very easily. Burns who has fought the likes of Chimaev & karamu has recently said that JDM is the hardest hitter he has ever faced.

Makhachev is an all round amazing fighter but we have continuously seen him slow down & gas in later rounds. I remember when Makhachev wasn't a big name & RDA was scheduled to fight him, RDA said that he has heard from multiple gym sources that Makhachev gasses if goes on to later rounds which has happened multiple times now.

Makhachev doesn't have the frame for welterweight and will have the same problem former champs like Luke Rockhold & Chris Weidman had at light heavyweight, they put on alot of mass to fit in the division but gas out really quickly because they can't carry the weight & be as fluid.

If Makhachev can't sub JDM early this fight is going to end up really poorly for him & really hurt his legacy considering people are already shitting on everything he did in lightweight.

He should have stayed & fought Illia who was a much easier matchup for Makhachev, I really believe Makhachev would have crushed Illia, but JDM is going to do bad things to Makhachev.
Your comparison sucks. Kevin Lee??? Like what?? One of the BEST LW EVER to Kevin Lee?? Yes a top 10-15 LW is a top 20-40 WW. yep.

RDA??? he is tiny?? His frame is small for 155. He is jacked and skilled but he was too small for 170. Yes he was a LW champ but was probably at best the 5th best LW at that time. So him going to WW and becoming a top 10 fighter makes sense.

Islam is built like a Natural 170 fighter. He is a HUGE 155er. Plus he is arguably the best 155er EVER. We can all agree that he beats all the best 155ers except Khabib. both become champs at 170.

Islam loses at 170 for sure. But not against JDM
 
Folks talking about jacks tdd Islam takes you down from the clinch..

This will be one of the easiest fights Islam has
 
You are getting dog walked and your face smeared in shit, dog.
 
If Islam can't get his wrestling going in the first then he is in big trouble.

Is Islam going to use the threat of his powerful hands to back Jack up to the cage every round?

"From all the WW champs there have ever been, JDM is the worst......................so if there ever is the right time for Islam to go up and try his luck it's now........"

Let's call this a GSP
GSP is untouchable. Could call it a JJ.

You serious.
 
Could happen. Doubt it.

170 from 155 is a big jump, and JDM is a phenomenal striker and great at scrambles.
 
If he's worried about legacy this is a much better move than fighting Ilia.

If he stayed at LW and won people would immediately discredit his win as just "beat another FW" and that his legacy was beating Volk twice (pointing out how difficult the first fight was) and Ilia (that they would shit on like some small FW who had only a puncher's chance).
 
The sheer size of JDM is really something when you see him in person, it doesn't come across over screens. I'm 6'1" 200 lbs and I felt like he could be engulf me with his sheer physicality and size, like absorb me into his body. A lot of the random casuals standing around where asking me who that is and all thought he was some WWE wrestler before I explained that he's a fighter. You should've seen their faces when I told them he fights at 170, jaws hit the floor.
I met the guy, albeit briefly, with some other absolutely fine gents at the last eternal in Perth.

Jdm seemed broad and strong for sure but didn't blow me away with size. Like he looked like a low cutting WW bro.
I'm the fat useless cunt in the middle here lol at 6'1" and 210 pounds of shit in a 190 pound bag.
Next to me are a pair of FLW and quallian at LW on the far left. Quallian struck me as a big fit full LW. Jdm, not so much.

Again I don't really know these gents so not sure if they blow up and shrink down but this was end of Feb so JDM would've been fit and full prepping for belal I guess. Doubt he gets a tonne bigger ?
Just don't think we'll see a mammoth size discrepancy in a fattened up Islam.

JDM still gonna eat his lunch and send him back to the mountains belt-less but.

To the OP though. I tend to agree
JDM isn't gonna accept position or getting TD. He'll be fending off and getting up like a Raped Ape every time and what's Islam gonna do when he cops that and is also getting holes punched in his guts and jaw. Gonna lose steam after a few rounds. Can't forget how Volk handled him, and how Poirer survived him.
I reckon it ain't going well for Islam tbh.
