So is the narrative that Dagestani fighters won't move up and are weight bullies officially dead?

Now that Islam is moving up to WW permanently to fight 6 foot plus monsters, what is the next cope?
 
If yer a BITCH

and cant relate to the Dagestanis, aint nothin gonna change it.

Betamax second place runner up mentalities
 
Yeah but they’ll say they only move up when it’s a favorable matchup, stylistically.
is it their job to find the hardest possible situation that they can find, that people who dont like them will think they are fuckin dumb for doing and laughin at them when they lose?
 
What was this narrative really anyways?

Khabib was the only Dagestani champ before Islam and retired in his prime due to personal circumstances, while fulfilling his obligations as champ and defeating two Interim champs back to back. He was never really linked to WW.

Islam is now moving up and has said for a long time he will. Ank just won and noone is going to blame him for not fighting at HW anytime soon.
 
He fights Jack 5'11 who is 1 inch taller and a favorable matchup. While ducking Topuria.
Well at least he ain't fighting featherweights anymore that are 5 inches shorter.
If he wins, he will try to face 5'9 Brady or 5'8 Buckley

Till the fight happens Islam will have fought 4 minutes in the last 400 days against top 15 short replacement Moicano.
 
Now the narrative is that Islam is ducking because he chose to fight the best MMA boxer at 170 instead of the best MMA boxer at 145.

Ilia is a great wrestler and grappler as well, grew up doing Greco in Georgia, people forget half his wins are by sub cos he's got so good at KOing people.

6' monsters?

JDM is one inch taller at 5'11.

I reckon Islam's gonna beta JDM and retire.
