Media Khabib plays UFC Matchmaker, offers Dana Islam vs Gregor.

[Evangelion]

I think Islam deserves a top 10 ranked opponent right now. He's won 7 consecutive fights.

Gregor is on a one fight win streak after getting brutally KO'd, and he just beat the #12 guy. It sounds like fun but doesn't make sense to me.

It's time Islam fight a proper top 10 lightweight, lets get this thing rolling. You win 7 in a row you get a ranked fighter. Dober was a mismatch and a gimmie.

If Khsbibs suggesting it then its a possiblity the fight happens.

Most of the top 10 is already matched up. Unless he wants to wait his best options are Rda, Hooker, Felder or Islam


None of Chandler, Oliveira, Poirier, Conor or Gaethje are going to fight Islam.

Following Gregor's impressive comeback performance over CDF, Khabib took to Twitter to play matchmaker and offer Dana the idea of Gregor vs Islam with a nice little Jab at Gregor's Fishing comment.



Taken from Reddit.

This is pretty good matchmaking in my opinion, and not only makes sense ranking wise, but has potential to be a VERY fun and interesting fight for the LW Division. It should also help give it more clarity closer to the Top 10. If the fight does get made, I'd favor Islam as of right now, but what are your thoughts Sherbros? Is this the fight we should get for these two?

Ncaa champ vs dagestan guy

What does make that CDF then?

Old and fat with questionable fight iq.

 

[fortheo]

He seems chinny because he got knocked out with a head kick once?

No, because I've seen him wobbled a lot by multiple guys. You haven't?

Rankings means jack shit. I'd hold a victory over Gillespie much higher than a victory over Iaquinta.

I surely have. Reminds me of prime Rashad.

Iaquinta's not ranked anymore but fair enough

Honestly I haven't seen all of Gillespie's fights so I'll take your word for it. The kick that knocked him out probably knocks out any LW if it lands though.

Islam is a much better fighter than Gregor Gillespie.

Islam vs Tony/Dariush winner

[MartinGibson86]

Khabib stayz retired after Gillespie breaks Islam.

 

[MartinGibson86]

Islam and the rest of Khabib's camp needs to quit asking for easy fights.

Islam-Gregor is basically a title worthy matchip.


Did people not see what happened tonight???


He fuckin broke a wwight advantaged CDF in 6 minutes...CDF only lost a SD to Dariusb in7 fights.


FKL hit him with a scud missile and people actin like he a scrub.


His entries are a thing of beauty.


CDF is the best win on him or islams resume

I like Gregor but this is funny. You could show someone the video of Gregor getting KO’d and convince them he died

FKL isa way more accomplished fighter than Martins.

Gregor's top control is bad, his jiu-jitsu and chain wrestling are non existent, he doesn't use any trips and he is kinda small for 155.

Oh I misunderstood, by uglier I thought you meant which looked worked visually
