Makhachev missed a great opportunity

[Koro_11]

To tell the Australian crowd booing him at the weigh ins: “I’m gonna smesh your boy tomorrow”.

Amazing thread! Would read again.

He is not using any of khabib's lines, he is being himself

 

[VinceArch]

Islam isn't Khabib and Volk isn't Conor.

 

[Fight Professor]

We'll see how well their PPV does. There are no draws (maybe Yair to a small extent) on the card to help them.

Not even Yair, this is not Mexico

 

[Reign009]

No, that would have been corny.

He's trying to establish himself and step out of Khabib's shadow. Using Khabib's lines would only set him back on this.

Islam should just be himself.

 

[loisestrad]

Line isn't funny. No one besides sherdoggers think it's a cool meme.

 

[kingghidrah]

Yeah then he coulda said "You think I lose? Is number one bullshit"

 

[Russ82]

Islam likes Volk

 

[The Last King]

Alhamdulilah

It wasn't supposed to be comedic, it was an accurate prediction.

This.

He doesnt have anything against Volk,its a friendly rivalry,that only needs to be serious when the bell rings. Khabib didnt say he was gonna smash Dustin or Justin. He knows those guys are respectful.

Not even Yair, this is not Mexico

The co-main is a good fight, regardless of where it takes place, just as the superfight would be a draw even if it took place in Mexico.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

You can tell he wants the fans respect and to be on his side. he should play it up. be the bad guy. say some ridiculous shit. the fans will eventually go over.

 

[MMAFanCal]

I was annoyed as hell by the constant boo'ing.

"I have been in Australia for 40 days, I love you guys, but ALHAMDOLILLAH I am going to smesh your boy tomorrow"

That would have been epic.

 

[AfroBanana]

I like Islam he’s unique. He’s kind of a combo of things nerdy, polite, funny, a little introverted and has just the right amount of attitude. “Guys I been here 20 days, love guys, love you guys but tomorrow I disappoint, sorry guys”.

 

[13Seconds]

His line was good. "You will be disapointed" is enough.

This shits still funny
