[POLL] Who Should be Islam's First Defense?

[WoozyFailGuy]

Marty

Prates

Morales

Garry

Topuria

Morales and Garry should be the only options, not for your poll but for good matchmaking from the UFC. I prefer Morales and think he's more deserving but wouldn't mind Garry getting a shot. Prates needs 1 more win, Marty can fuck off.

 

[Dagestanaev]

Marty

Prates

Morales

Garry

I appreciate the gifs

 

[Neck&Neck]

Ian Garry easily

 

[Alpha_T83]

Should be Garry because he's the #1 contender and the Shavkat loss was close and basically shouldn't even count at this point, since Shavkat is gone.

But I'm fine with anyone but Usman.

Is Garry's decision of Belal worth more than Prates smoking Leon?

I agree Ian is ahead of Carlos, but for the record, I wholeheartedly disagree with "The loss shouldn't count"

 

[Deltron 6060]

Voted Morales only cause Ilia wasn't an option.

I would argue yes. Leon was more washed up.

Oh man, I seem to have already mentally given up on that fight after so many years of so many superfights simply never materializing...
Added!

Usman... the dancer in a dress doesn't ring any bells.

No one knows him, he needs to build his aura.

This is the Paramount Era...

Only hardcore fans on this forum know who tf Morales is lol

True, just hate TF out of anyone saying Garry deserves a title shot.

Ian's Point Fighting IMHO is a cowardly AF style that shows his every move actually avoids competitive fighting.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

My ranked choice voting would be:
1: Morales
2: Gary
3: Prates
4: Topuria
563: Usman

 

[VinceArch]

Ian Garry. I don't like him but with Shavkat out and Ian already having a win over Prates that isn't even a year old, he deserves it.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Morales. I really don't want Usman, he is so inactive and barely ever fights and is full of constant injuries.

 

[GrantB13]

Garry only because I think Morales needs at least one more win at the top.

 

[Subline]

I would rather see a tried and tested ATG in Usman face Islam, because I can trust in his wrestling to hold up. He's on short time, putting him against another contender would be a waste of what he has left to offer.

Do we really wanna see Garry try and poke at Islam's knees at range for 5 rounds? I certainly don't.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I love when sherdog has something of a consensus. It should be Garry or Morales. Not Usman. /thread.

I get hating Garry's fighting style. I'm not a fan of it myself.

And if we are getting rid of boring fighting styles and stripping Khamzat Chimaev of the title, then I'm all for it.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Oh now that Toppy is in the mix I probably would of voted for him
But I don’t like him at 170 cuz he’s clearly too small for the division
And I don’t want a 1 and done title shot


If Islam is as good as he thinks he is
He should be able to take out Garry
You Garry haters should want that

 

[laleggenda27]

It should very obviously be Garry.

At this point, I just want the most deserving guys to get title shots, whether I like the fighter or not. The UFC has become a complete joke: most of the titles are either dormant or gifted to underserving challengers.
