Media Michael Bisping/Anthony Smith: "Islam Makhachev vs Alex Pereira For LHW Belt Would be 50/50 Fight"

[Brendan The Hybrid Schaub]

Islam would be outweighed ~50 pounds lol

 

[Bakayoko]

Perreira will beat Du Plessis for the MW tittle and than Aspinall for the HW title making him 3 division champ.Islam will win the vw tittle against Leon.Than Islam will beat Perreira to become a 5 division champ.Than he'll go on a diet to drop down to featherweight,than to bantam and at the end he'll cut to flyweight to become the ultimate champion of all the UFC.Than he'll lose all his titlles to Conor Mcgregor

 

[Momentosis]

The Pereira fight really sent this guy off the deep end...

EDIT: Wrong thread.

 

[Afrikan]

No seriously they should square up for a photo just for the f' of it.

 

[Luckyme]

Do they actually believe this or are they just saying stuff for clicks?

This is why he's saying this on a podcast no network would broadcast that kinda shit not even Sky Sports.

No boxing journalist or former boxer having taken a million shots to the head over his career could ever suggest something so dumb.

Happens Around 31:30 in the Podcast. Michael Bisping and Anthony Smith say it'd be a "Pickem/ 50-50 fight"

Do you guys think Islam would have an ACTUAL chance? Bulked Up Non Weight Cut Islam vs Alex Pereira

Yeah rubbish IMO.
Pereira, is HUGE, 6'4" and devastating strikes.

Islam COULD get him down and go for a fast sub but realistically Pereira is too big too strong.

Weight classes for a reason.

I'm up for León Edwards vs Islam. Now I don't know how thst goes. I think Islam defo has a very good chance there. 1weight class isn't very much to move up and Islam looked far bigger and stronger than Poirier in their recent fight.

 

[ColombianFist]

did Bisping's CTE is starting to appear? who the hell thinks Islam vs Pereira is a 50/50? this is clickbait at the most

 

[El Diego]

under the right circumstances

 

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

if Poatan landed on Islam, he'd look like this permanently.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

You know when Izzy was put on oxygen, yeah. islam would be carried out and put down hard.

This place is ridiculous at times.

Jan would maul islam as would jiri - size differences are a real thing and Alex did just fine.

A guy who went life and death with a FW and another LW is going to somehow jump up 50lbs and beat a legitimate champ.

This place has literally become the home of those guys . . . you know those guys who call everyone a "casual" without any self awareness of the casual THEY are.

EDIT: Wrong thread.

I mean, this is basically true about Anthony Smith

 

[Ibm]

When Alex starts wrestling, I would love to see what people say.

 

[Crash Lance]

This place is funny.

Dude cuts weight to make 155 and fight 5'9 guys but is going to beat a 1 shot KO guy that is 6'4, 230 that can hit Islam from further away than any fighter hes fought can.....

Yeah, nah.

In those messages up there, WoozyFailGuy posted a photo of St-Pierre. I seriously doubt that Georges St-Pierre had a remote chance in Hell against the assassins that were the UFC Light Heavyweight World Champion when he started collecting his titles and accomplishments.

Even though GSP accomplished a gargantuan amount, he knew that the UFC Light Heavyweight Division would be too much for him.

St-Pierre is the former UFC Welterweight World Champion (with 9 title defences).

St-Pierre is the former UFC Middleweight World Champion (with 0 title defences).

The MMA fight between St-Pierre and Michael Bisping was a great matchup for St-Pierre. It took a wonderful contract like St-Pierre vs. Michael Bisping in order to make St-Pierre return from his sweet (and well-earned) retirement.

That's not to say that Michael Bisping is weak, mind you.

Michael Bisping is the former UFC Middleweight World Champion (with 1 title defence).

Michael captured The Ultimate Fighter 3 Light Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament.

Thanks for the history lesson on a bunch of things I already knew?

My post had nothing to do with GSP. It's about Islam. Islam Makhachev is currently the LW champion with 3 title defenses. He fights in the LW division, which is 155 lbs.

He is from Dagestan. He has a cousin named Khabib.

Exactly. I mentioned St-Pierre cause his photo was posted in this thread.

If St-Pierre couldn't do it (which is what I insist), then how could Makhachev do this?

 

[RockyLockridge]

I mean on the ground he has a shot with his sub game, but it would be like a giant vs a midget.

Islam got rocked by Volk, imagine if Poatan clipped him.

Head clean off

He can't. The bathtub brigade just has the most deluded fanbase on this website

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Islam would have dunked Jan right on his head. No one is beating this 155 pounder. He's just starving himself to make weight because he's that nice.
