Lol If the rumor is true Topuria will refuse anything but a title shot, he isnt very smart

[Domitian]

Arman is an actual lightweight contender who beat oliveira so he is a bigger threat imo, you say Ilia is Islam's biggest threat but if Ilia gets an immediate title shot and loses then the narrative will quickly be "bloated FW title defense" that's why it is important for Ilia to beat a contender in order for that narrative to get dispelled since if he beats a LW contender then he is a legit LW contender and not a FW

Arman can't make it to the fight. He's turned it down 2 or 3 times. He pulled out last minute. Give it a rest. All the people advocating for Arman to get the shot should be castrated.

Everybody knows Ilia is Islams biggest threat at LW.

 

[Domitian]

So what.

So what people think Ilia is Islams hardest fight at LW.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Dana should be fired if this fight doesn't happen next

 

[AndrewGolota48]

He should just follow the Cejudo master plan of dramatically retiring then waiting by the phone for Dana to call and beg him to come back.

Or better yet the Gregor Gillespie plan of demanding nothing but elite fights based on your 1 fight winning streak over CDF....

 

[Domitian]

Dana should be fired if this fight doesn't happen next

And Islam needs to fight a WW if he vacates and moves up. No title shot.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Yes he's a bum and Holloway and Volk were never our friends and I'm hurt he didn't defend his title like is his social contract to the fans. And we all know better! Get it together Illia!

Yeah awesome wins over two 25 year veterans at the very end of their career.... Basically one step above a 2 fight winning streak over Couture and Fedor at this point.

Neither Volk nor Max wins another fight in their career, and I'm not being facetious.

Ilia is an unknown at LW the 1 UFC fight we have to go off he nearly got decapitated (although he pulled out a beautiful finish)

IMO he needs to beat at top LW contender. I can understand if he was granted an immediate TS as a dominant champ lacking contenders at FW, but that's not the case hear

Max just KO'd the #1 contender at LW in Gaethje not even a year ago. And then Max gets KO'd by Ilia. Nobody cares it happened at 145.

Knocking out the #2 and #3 FW goats back to back does nothing for you? Max ending Gaethjes life at 155 means nothing now?

defended his title 4 times unlike the manlet, he gets an immediate shot

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

I respect the cojones

 

[Domitian]

Volk x2 and Ilia flatlined Volk as well.

Max has a win over Oliveira btw

And there's Moicano. Big whoop. Islam was -1800 in that fight.

He has 1 title defence. The Volk win looks great on paper but we know he was damaged goods

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

That's Max's win not Ilias

 

[Domitian]

That's Max's win not Ilias

You said he needed to fight a contender at LW. Max was a contender at LW. Ilia just beat him at 145, it's not a big difference.

what is the mma math from fights 10 years ago lol. 4 defenses is 4 times as many as the 1 defense Ilia has, Islam already beat his top 2 contenders, Ilia had 2 contenders he still has to fight in his division that he left, big difference in who deserves an immediate title shot if they were to move up

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

At LW

 

[Domitian]

At LW

Yall are scared aren't you? Ilia is red hot in MMA right now. It's the fight to make.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Max just KO'd the #1 contender at LW in Gaethje not even a year ago. And then Max gets KO'd by Ilia. Nobody cares it happened at 145.

Yeah and Izzy just knocked the fucking smelly dogshit out of Pereria's asshole not too long ago.

 

[Tapatio]

What would you expect from a small Russian who calls himself El Matador? Swing and a miss!
