So what's your excitement level for Islam vs JDM if that's the one that happens next?

[TITS]

WTF is bush league about it? Dudes ranked number 5 in the div and with one more win would have gotten a title shot. out here acting like UFC brought in some bum from the regionals on a 4 fight losing streak to fight for the title instead of one of the best guys in the world.

Do you want me to draw you a picture and post my answers in cartoon format, so it's easier for you to understand? You seem to be having a really hard time with this.

He had no business being ranked #5 after being out for over a year. There are plenty of "fun fighters" in the UFC, and some of them are bums from the regionals, JDM is from the Contender Series.

Maybe Dana should give the janitor at the PI center a shot.

I will give you credit for being a slippery little weasle. You have worded it in such a way to just give yourself enough wiggle room to make a disingenuous argument.

But the fact remains the only person that Topuria has ever beaten at LW is Jai Herbert. He has never beaten a contender at lightweight.

UFC doesn't care about that. They care about which fight will them the most money. That's Topuria vs Islam.

There isn't any other criteria for getting a title shot other than UFC wanting to do so. Asakura had never even fought in the UFC, got a title shot against Pantoja. Volk was coming off two losses, got a shot against Lopes.

For this fight my excitement level is around an 8. Might be interested in what the Islam by sub betting line is.

I don't want it to be honest, Shavkat should be getting his rightful shot next.

You thought Belal was going to wash him too.
Your disbelief alone will fuel JDM to KO Islam stone dead

They need to let JDM breathe a bit and enjoy his win a bit before rushing a fight in an attempt to generate UFC interest.

So he's from the contender series that means he's not good? What a dumb ass take this is my god.

You're really struggling with this. You must be a Dutchman, or German.

Super excited to see another Aussie beat the "GOAT" again

 

[TheNewGame]

I'm always more intrigued on how the #1 p4p fighter looks in a different weight class, so Islam/JDM is more interesting to me than Shavkat/JDM, especially since Shavkat is coming off a fight where he had a 48-47 decision against a short notice Garry.

A jacked non depleted Islam could be a monster at WW.

 

[El Fernas]

Its a good one, what i dont like much is that i dont see Makhachev moving to WW, its a one-off for him.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Very high, Islam won himself some fans here when he fought, would be a big event (assuming it happens in Perth)

 

[Ares Black]

Pretty high. It's a classic striker vs grappler matchup, a champ vs champ fight, and an Aussie revenge match.

I'm into it.

 

[agibmxmma]

Hmmmm, you say you aren't interested but made a whole thread to discuss it? Reality is, Illia hasn't earned a title shot at LW, and when he did fight at LW, he didn't look like he does at FW. Then take into account what Islam has said.. he doesn't want to fight another 145er moving up to fight for the title. How can a true Combat Sports fan be interested in a fight that one of the fighters himself isn't interested in to begin with? Islam vs JDM is a very intriguing fight for various reasons, not to mention Islam defending at WW against Brady, Shavkat, Garry, Usman, Leon, etc etc.. is very interesting as matchups make fights in this sport.

 

[agibmxmma]

You make the perfectly reasonable argument that JDM should defend against a contender from his own division and then immediately claim Islam should do exactly what you are crying about JDM potentially doing by fighting Topuria.

It's a special skill to be able to abandon your own principle in the space of a single sentence without feeling highly embarrassed.

+1

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Its a decent scrap. I'll watch. But I don't like the double champ shit. Islam should fight Ilia at 155
