Maddalena was never good?

[BonesWinckleJones]

Is it the first time in history that top 10 gatekeeper won the title?
Islam going to avoid the real challengers like moraes and prates?

Belal was on a 10 fight win streak, styles make fights.

He was never any good and we need to ban these guys fighting like they are gorillas!

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Not enough processing power to understand what you just watched

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Islam is just the GOAT

 

[Kratos94]

JDM is great, but Makhachev is quite a lot better. He makes most other WWs look this way and worse.

 

[TheFallofMan]

He's good. But was at the right place at the right time. Think most of the other Next Gen guys (Morales Garry Prates Shavkat) Would have sparked out Belal as well. Them's the breaks in MMA though.

 

[ElLunico]

He just too slow. He has decent technique and im impressed he won the belt but he is too slow to hang against true elite fighters

 

[Katsushyro]

Burns was cruising to a easy win until got caught. No wonder he had nothing for islam

 

[markantony20]

Jack has had his passport and citizenship revoked

 

[TRUS8888]

JDM is good but I wonder if he does beat Prates.. Morales, Shavkat.. or even Ian Garry

Islam did benefit very conveniently from JDM being the Champ he had to face imo.

But hey JDM can prove me wrong and beat the guys I just mentioned.

 

[Arcticman]

islam destroyed the guys soul, he looked finished on the stool in round 2 lol very khabib like.

 

[OldFashion]

No it's just that Islam is one of the greatest to ever have done this, maybe even the greatest after Jones. I said it 3 years or so ago: He's better than even Khabib

Yeah, but that was mostly against weak competition. Old Burns, really old Wonderboy and Maia, etc. Brady was his best win.

I think we've seen the end of WW rank squatting, though. These guys are having to fight each other finally. No more building your resume with Burns, Colby, Wonderboy, Maia, Masvidal and others who are years (sometimes over a decade) past their primes.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

He bypassed almost the whole division to get the belt. Its very possible hes fringe top 5 in reality.

 

[Dandy Chiggins]

All of Islam's boyfriends up on the stage looks great, gonna be an amazing hot tub party afterwards.

Jack was the easiest of the top 10 aside from Leon

Islam likely loses to everyone else

Good, but not that good
