He might actually take the fight. But seriously I doubt he's fighting again on a quick turnaround. Maybe though if he stayed in the US after his win and he's still in the US.Lets see if hooker will fight islam now

Im with you, its time to skip that matchup but the only reason the matchmakers made that fight is the other top 5 fighters are locked against each other and RDA was not.Guess it was not meant to be, are they beating the Khabib Vs Tony record yet?
Hooker or Dariush then (although the later is managed by Ali too so they might try to avoid it)
Next up Khamzat about to bail.omg UFC 267 is crumbling before our eyes...
Yesterday Yan/Sterling... now Islam/RDA
Dariush has earned a meaningful fight, if you expect him to fight Makhachev then you have to put a title eliminator on it.
Because I can guarantee he would much rather fight Justin Gaethje and move up in the rankings and be the presumptive next contender than fight someone behind him for no payoff.
Islam v. Dariush would be lit.
I get that they have the same manager but they worked it out with Khabib and Gaethje so why not
Yep but Dariush is one tough mofo; hits hard and a grappling wiz in his own right.I'd feel bad for Dariush if he had to fight Islam, he's working his way to the title then he runs in to Islam smh. I'd rather they face each other as late as possible if their paths crossed.
That the fight to make and it should be 5 rounder. Move from the RDA fight and like ackmed said let him fight Hooker.Islam v. Dariush would be lit.

FFS this is the fight that should've been made originally.Islam vs Dariush.
YesThat the fight to make and it should be 5 rounder. Move from the RDA fight and like ackmed said let him fight Hooker.
Islam said hes open to fight Beneil but the question is what does Beneil want?
He fought Ferguson in may, Chandler/Gaethje fighting in november and Oliveira/Poirier fighting in December. So he have no one to fight. Make the damn Makhachaev fight
Khabib is a good man, of course he will help his brother Islam. They have known eacher since they were kids.Hopefully we've all figured out Islam doesn't run his social media accounts.
And I fully believe Khabib pays all his bills for him.
FFS this is the fight that should've been made originally.
RDA needs to rematch Ferguson.
