Only way Armen wins imo

[MigitAs]

if Armen somehow gets it done Saturday against Islam; I expect it to look like Edgar/Penn 1, a close fight with a decision given to the challenger.

I don’t see any other path to victory for Armen. No way he rocks Islam with his striking and height difference; no way he submits Islam or even comes close, but I think he can win the point-fight.

What do you say Sherbros?

Islam better make no mistakes, Arman has a lot of ways to win including KO.

 

[Uber_Noober]

Arman is going to make it look like McGregor vs Aldo, 13 second face plant, walk off KO. You heard it her first.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

He's gonna knock out Islam spectacularly

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

I think Islam will win but I disagree that arman's only way to win is a decision, Arman is a freak athlete and although his striking isn't as developed as Islam, his power and speed is probably superior which can make the difference especially with 4 ounce gloves where 1 clean punch can lead to a ko. I think Islam fans are mostly just worried about him getting hurt on the feet, no one is really saying Arman is gonna outstrike him technically

 

[AmonTobin]

They're both really damn good. I favour Islam to win somehow, but one mistake at this level is enough to get chin checked or choked.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Maybe. Let's wait and see.

So the only way Arman wins is a bad judges decision?

 

[Nobru]

a punch to the face also works, but for some reason I feel Islam will eat a huge head kick.

That’s a long way up for Armen to throw that kick.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

I think Arman is going to hurt him with a punch and tko him with punches from the top while he is down.

That could very well happen. Arman has the best gnp in the division.

 

[Aurelian]

It's "Arman" bro, with an A.

Arman.

I think Arman has a quick lead leg high kick that he could catch him with. He gets that up there fast! It’s not the most powerful kick, but it’s the one you don’t see coming…

Islam is the favorite for a reason, but Arman does have a chance here. Tsarukyan surprised a lot of people back in the day when he pretty much held his own against Makhachev. Now he’s matured and developed a lot and I expect him to put up a great fight.

Arman has a reasonable chance to win, but if he wins a decision it will be a robbery of epic proportions and he will die in the rematch.

 

[Cartiac]

No, I'm not following this path at all. How do you out point Islam? How do you get the points? Volk was a very high volume striker out pointing Holloway 3 times, but couldn't do anything close to that against Islam. Islam begs his opponents to try aggressive striking because he feeds off that for his take downs. Throw a leg kick he immediately shoots on the leg that kicked him before it can possibly be pulled back, commit to a punch extending your arm and he ducks around/under it while stepping forward to wrap you up in a clinch to then throw, trip, or drag you down.

I think KO is, in fact, Aman's best way to win ... he hits hard ... and Islam is chinny.

 

[mister piscadinha]

arman has more power than islam, he's stronger and a better wrestler(tho i would give the edge in overall grappling to islam)

 

[Cartiac]

Where you getting this Islam is chinny idea? Islam went toe to toe with Dustin and walked through his best shots, beating him in a striking battle.

First of all, Islam Makhachev doesn't "walk through" punches ... he avoids them for the most part.

Second, I call Islam chinny, because he got KO'd by Martin and dropped by midget Volkanovski, that's why.
