Media Oliveira open to the idea of an interim title fight vs. Gaethje if Islam wants to move up to 170

[sjon22]

we have already seen this matchup, the 155 Division is stacked lets see some new fights

 

[PEDRO IVO RUSSO MIRANDA]

WelterWait is the only division that needs an interin

 

[Timewave zero]

This shit is getting fuckin annoying. Watered down cards and interim title fights as far as the eye can see. Big thumbs down

 

[Kompromat]

Yeah, as few mentioned, most likely Islam is fighting Leon/Colby next. He also stated before Volk 2 fight that he plans to do this after this fight. Poor Belal lol. Will probably have to fight Shavkat.

 

[Tweak896]

WTF is UFC smoking? Does Islam just want to fight once a year now or what?

 

[HolmeZy55]

Unless he is fighting for the WW belt it makes no sense, the UFC does some dumb shit but not this dumb. Sources not credible, just quoting Charles from some other so called interview where he might have said something completely different and or was lost in translation.

Personally, I feel interim belt is #verygreat. It allows for us to see clear #1 contender who is and is funny joke to trick people. "Hey you my friend, you like #UFC yes? You order PPV weekend next for watch UFC title #battle?" Is like, actually #casualviewer, it was been title belt to earn right for fight for title belt lulz

Let me guess

Islam will only fight in Arab countries, so he can fight twice a year, alternating lw and ww title fights

Fard Interim Title ... a guide for fasting to fairy tales

 

[VAfan]

love the way gaethje keeps evolving. love it when a fighter that good keeps improving his game over time. and like his chances in that fight, a lot. would assume he's learned a thing or two more since then.

 

[Oscar Madison]

There are levels to Rumor.

 

[Psychojoe86]

Gaethje and Charles already fought and Islam and Charles have already fought. Why not just do Gaethje vs Islam and Charles vs Gamrot? I mean fucking really.

Actually this could mean gamrot is fighting Islam next… or the ufc is waiting for the result of Covington vs edwards


Interim isn’t necessarily an issue, just a marketing tactic

 

[DoubleTrouble]

Gaethje wilts under pressure. Unless he KO's Oliveira coming in, I don't see how he wins this.

Looks like Islam will fight for WW title which is good for him but sucks for Belal.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Islam already said he would fight either of them

Hogwash by Olives or Danar pulling some shit

 

[theleerygoose]

Sounds like bullshit, Islam just fought on Saturday

 

[DoubleTrouble]

Let me guess

Islam will only fight in Arab countries, so he can fight twice a year, alternating lw and ww title fights

What like he did in Australia a few months ago, that well known Arab land.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

What?
Why would LW need an interim?
Whyyyyyyyyy????

Just what we need, another pointless "rematch"(of a 1-round blowout, that wasn't even competitive) involving an Interim Title that is in no way needed.

 

[usernamee]

UFC are quite desperate these days with their watered down shit, ready to slap an interim on anything just to make a card semi passable

 

[93confirmed]

What?
Why would LW need an interim?
Whyyyyyyyyy????

Islam must be fighting Leon/Colby next.

 

[Rektkid]

Gaethje and Charles already fought and Islam and Charles have already fought. Why not just do Gaethje vs Islam and Charles vs Gamrot? I mean fucking really.

UFC loves rematches. They probably working on a trilogy for Islam/Volk.

 

[jeff7b9]

If true, I absolutely won’t get it.
Islam came out the Volk fight totally unscratched, and he wants to stay active. Just let him defend his title

Gotta think this is a strong indicator he is moving up to challemge.

All the cool kids are doing it these days.
