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

Most boring and overrated division in the UFC.

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

First off, Volk is a feathweight not even a particularly large framed FW and still delivered all that Islam could handle in a fight considered contentious by some. The rematch is a fight Volk took on 10 days notice, and Alex clearly was not physically prepared for that fight. Hat's off to Islam for that win, but that's not an identifier for why Islam is a great lightweight, It was an unnecessary risk for volk to take. It was a stupid Low risk low reward fight for islam. I wish that fight hadn't happened because Islam wasn't going to get full credit for it, he should have fought the onsite back up. Not his fault that the UFC didn't want to make that fight or whatever. Not gonna bash him for it. Not going to give him credit it for it. It was what it was. (feel the same about Usman vs Khamzat.)

Charles is a good win yes, but bare in mind Charles has now lost in The UFC 10 times. Charles has been submitted 3 or 4 times. (he tapped to strikes against felder but it's shown as a tko) It's not like he's the first fighter to ever submit or beat charles in the UFC. So it's a good win, a great win, technically not a win against the champion but I'm not petty enough to take that away. And he has that. At LW he's beaten Charles, Dustin clearly not in prime and on a 1 fight streak.

Merab beat a younger champion than himself and dominated. He's also dominated Petr yan who is a former champion for good reason. Also a win against aldo who is the goat of a weight class above, at BW Aldo has done very respetably in against great competition. Desipite his lack of a "streak" still head and shoulders above other divisional mainstays such as rob font or Pedro munhoz. Aldo at the time had only lost to Yan at BW, and gave Yan a competitive fight.

And when Islam subs Ilia you'll say "Islam only fights small guys" lol. GTFO that fight won't happen, Islam will only fight LWs and WWs from now on, you can take that to the bank.
