Media Makhachev is a fraud who will be destroyed by Arman.

[blaseblase]

??
Merab has beat O'Malley and Yan from the top five.
Islam has beaten Arman, Charles, Dustin and Hooker. Four out of the top five.
Your bitterness is hilarious, lmao.

You're forgetting Aldo and Cejudo. Arman and Hooker were not in the top 5 when Islam beat them, Arman was making his UFC debut as a prospect.

 

[TerraRayzing]

Because nobody ducked that stinky little garden gnome.

Islam actually has more ranked wins than Merab.
Merab has only beaten O'Malley and Yan from the top five. Cejudo is now ranked 7.

Aldo is ranked outside the top 10. Cejudo is ranked number 7.
And Cejudo was past his prime when Merab fought him. So was Aldo. You can do this for every fighter.
Fact is that Islam has beaten most of the top five and the way people cope is hilarious. That win against Charles alone is massive but barely ever given credit.

Olivera/Volk fans coping

That list is getting long lol

Ranked wins means where was the fighter ranked at the time the fight happened, dummy, otherwise the entire thing would be pointless. Or do you think Jones doesn't have any ranked wins at LHW thus is a bum? If Poirier retires does that mean Islam has one less ranked win? No, of course not. You aren't dumb enough to think that right?

Islam's top 5 wins: Poirier and Oliveira

Merab's tip 5 wins: Cejudo, Aldo, Yan, and O'Malley

Aldo was on a 3 fight streak and it was a number one contender fight. Cejudo was coming off a split decision loss to the champion. Those wins are about as good as it gets. Certainly better than Poirier getting an undeserved title shot.

 

[garbohydrates]

I'm neutral on the Makachev's of the sport for the most part other than their rabid fanboys like moosaev. But I'll take TS's bait. What should he have done in your mind during this time frame that would have made him legit instead of a so called fraud?

-Destroy old man Poirier instead of going life and death with him.( Dustin was at a stylistic disadvantage and was 35 years old).

-Not go and life and death with a 5’6, then 34 year old Volk.

-Have less fights with short notice opponents. Seriously, the bulk of the guys wins, especially dominant wins are short notice. It’s glaring that he stops having dominant performances when the opponent actually had time to train(despite the opponent still being at a disadvantage stylistically or age wise)

Alright then, dummy. You answer me. Currently, who should be ranked higher P4P, Merab or Islam?

 

[TJH Exitium]

The only reason people think Islam is a grade above the other LWs is because of luck and circumstance. His most dominant wins came from short notice fights(Hooker, Bobby Green) and Charles was worn out from three title fights in one year when they fought. Meanwhile Mr inactive only fought once this year like his daddy Khabib.

When he fights a well rested, non short notice opponent he goes life and death with them.
Volk bitched him:

Dustin “no hips, senior citizen” Poirier cut him up and went 5 rounds with him:

View attachment 1070636

Bro went four rounds with Thiago Moises LOL.

In fact, when he fought 22 year old Arman on short notice he went life and death with him.View attachment 1070632

Come January, Arman who will be well rested and actually have a fight camp this time will beat him. Arman will also be in home territory( LA is filled with lots of Armenians). If Arman is a +150 or more underdog bet on him cause it’s free money. Topuria and Aspinall deserve to be above Makhachev on the P4P rankings btw.

Well, Islam made it look easy against do Bronx

-Disagree, Poirier was not that much past his prime and still very dangerous. I think it was a good win because of the way Makachev beat him. Instead of a quick sub, he managed to become one of the only opponents who outstruck Poireir. TD threat or not, this fight helps Makachev's legacy and puts him above the other one dimensional neckbeard fighters.

-Can't disagree with that. The first Volk fight hurts his legacy.

-Was Oliveira short notice? You have a point here but lets see how he performs against Arman next.

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

What's up with all the butt hurt Oliveira's fans hating on Islam ? I know he made your idol look like an amateur, but have some respect.

Lol Armen was not ranked when islam beat him.

only hooker dustin and armen were.

Just wholly dishonest statement, Like when conor fans credit him for beating max, Like he'd ever have a chance against the max of today


ANYWAYS

Merab has beaten

Aldo (former FW champ)
O'malley (residing champ)
Yan (Former Champ)
Cejudo (former FLY/BW champ)
Marlon morales (ranked 6 at the time)

So even with you cheating and putting Armen, still less.


You will find that Im something like a prophet. I am right about this and should islam show up to fight Armen (strong doubt) He will lose. And when he does, What I'm telling you now, will be total hindsight to some.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

Topuria sends this cat to the land of nod.

 

[Dorkman]

Losing to Arman wouldn't make him a fraud. It'd prove what should be commonly known that Arman Is also a very elite fighter.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Arman can certainly win but I don't see either fighter dominating. It will either be a close decision or a competitive fight till someone gets finished.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Arman was making his UFC debut as a prospect.

I believe it was on short notice too.

Alright fine. We can play that. Sooo....

Aldo (former FW champ)
O'malley (residing champ)
Yan (Former Champ)
Cejudo (former FLY/BW champ)
Marlon morales (ranked 6 at the time)

against

Dustin ( top lightweight for years)
Charles (ranked P4P and champ if the UFC didn't fuck him over)
Volk (ranked p4p number one, beat him twice)
Hooker (decent win)

Which one is more impressive. Just a note, you started this discussion about how Merab should be higher on the p4p list. Stick to that, yeah?

 

[HHJ]

Arman can certainly win but I don't see either fighter dominating. It will either be a close decision or a competitive fight till someone gets finished.

I hope the grappling is competitive. Would be cool to see. If Islam shuts him down there though, goddamn.

Merabs is more impressive and it's actually not even close.

 

[TerraRayzing]

Merabs is more impressive and it's actually not even close.

Name one fighter that Merab beat who was on a win streak like the one Charles or Volk had.
Go on.
