News Rogan calls out Dana regarding Islam

[chiefwiggum]

Really looks like Dana using this as an excuse to take away a TS from a guy on a ten fight winning LW streak blew up in his face and is not going to age well if even Rogan is already questioning the decision.

“So, he’s (White) punishing him (Makhachev) for not doing something stupid? Because that’s not a wise move to fight in the main event (when) you’re right about to fight for the title.

Who did he beat to get a title shot in those ten wins?

Rogan's got so much power now he dares to defy the mighty Dana.

I'd take him over Biden as POTUS right now.

Because you know, it's fair to give a guy that hasn't won a fight at LW in 6 years a title shot ahead of a guy that has won 10 in a row. Makes perfect sense.

The UFC isn’t fair though let’s be honest

 

[DatSamboKid]

Turning down RDA or not, I think rebooking Islam vs Dariush is the way to go depending on the severity of Dariush’s injured. UFC 274 is on May 4th and it’s safe to say the winner of that fight isn’t fighting till October. Does Islam want to wait 7-8 months till his next fight? I think it’s best to remain active, he can fight Dariush at UFC 274 or UFC 275.

 

[HitWithAFlare]

Thing is, Conor doesn’t deserve the title shot - plain and simple - I think we can all agree on that.


But will I be tuning in regardless? Ya damn right I will

 

[HitWithAFlare]

In reality though Conor’s coaches should be advising him to take a lesser fight, someone of lower rank.
Going for a title shot this soon after a leg break, bad idea. He will likely lose, and thus hurt his legacy further

 

[AlanGregson]

The reason why this doesn't make sense is because he actually hadn't earned the title shot. He was supposed to fight Dariush, got out of that on a technicality and then refused to fight someone else.

Wut? Got out of it? Pretty sure Dariush is the one who pulled out and he took the fight against Bobby Green on short notice anyways, the mental gymnastics on sherdog never cease to amaze

Why should he have fought Bobby Green?

 

[fightfan70]

Conor has accomplished ten times as much as a MMA fighter and deserves a title shot a million times before Islam.

im not even a fan but i have to agree.

conor is a former two division champion. dispatched a champion to take the belt.

fought and beat aldo in a matter of seconds, fights anyone put in front of him, short notice or not.

flame away, but islam beat dan hooker who couldn't cut it at lightweight. thats his best win like it or not.

should everyone get a shot after beating hooker?

he has a 10 fight win streak. so what. he fought nobody of relevance.

he comes and goes, been known to sign for a fight and then pull out.

he was active this last year. thats it. before that not so much.

make all the excuses you want. conor has done more to earn a title shot.

islam should fight khabib and poirer and see if he still has a win streak, or maybe rda or dariush, justin.

there is a difference between deserving it and earning it, you should have to earn it to deserve it.

Conor is 0-3 at LW since 2016

Islam is on a 10 win streak

Should we give BJ Penn a TS for what he accomplished at LW in the early 2000's by your logic?

That's being generous too because BJ >>> Conor and Conor's accomplishments were 99% at FW.

 

[Abundance]

Islam earned the title shot more than Chandler, Gaethje or anyone else includes Conor.

Just look at the betting odds at Islam vs. Oliveira and see why Islam deserves it.

Islam hasn’t even fought a top 5 guy or any guy in the current top 10

 

[Abundance]

Islam doesn’t deserve a shot. He hasn’t beat a top 5 guy. Beating journeyman Bobby green doesn’t warrant you a shot

 

[Goosemen]

Islam hasn’t even fought a top 5 guy or any guy in the current top 10

The guy they want give the TS to is 0-3 at LW since 2016.

Yoel got a title shot after 4 losses and no one cared. At least Conor fought a top 3 guy.

 

[Escabar]

Conor has lost his last 3 fights at lightweight a title fight make no sense wouldn't even generate more money then a Conor vs Diaz 3 fight.

 

[SpecialDelivery]

This is just another way of giving Conor an undeserved title shot.

Its good to be king

 

[Goosemen]

Yoel got a title shot after 4 losses and no one cared. At least Conor fought a top 3 guy.

And what happened?

He got gifted a fight against a top 3 and got ktfo.

Not exactly something to brag about.

How was he gifted? He was the former champ until he lost to the number 1 and GOAT Khabib. Losing to Khabib doesn’t throw you out the top 10 or even 5.
