There's no way Islam is returning to LW

everyone knows the divisions get shittier and shittier as you go past 155.

Label them whatever you want. Weight classes exist for a reason. Its easy to tell when people never sparred or wrestled with anyone outweighing them by a significant amount. People who train just as hard as you do might I add.....

He wouldn’t. I don’t know why any of these guys think they can trade standing on the feet with ilia. Not the way to fight him if you want to win. Islam could and should use a wrestle heavy approach to it. He might have to eat one coming in for the shoot but if he can get him down which I think he could, he would most certainly have the advantage.

IDK about that... Ilia looked just fine on the ground with Charles (and everyone else so far). Wrestling is absolutely Islam's best chance to win IMO, but he's not some wrestling/grappling savant. It's not going to be easy at all

Islam got finished by Adriano Martins. Shit happens on the come up.

It was a decade ago. Not sure how it's relevant today. Strange argument.

 

[Conor Strickland]

dont underestimate Islam the midget slayer

Topuria punches so hard tho it doesn't feel like he's a midget lol

 

[Conor Strickland]

Hot take

JDM beats Islam in an upset
Top bites off more than he can chew with JDM and gets merked

I can see that actually happening lol

Where the hell has Arman been this whole time, how did he miss weight in the Islam fight but made it last weekend as backup? I have always felt he would be hard for Ilia but he needs to want it!! He also needs a new manager or PR guy

 

[AbominableJoman]

That man is not suicidal.

Well said. Ill-Top would flatline that glass jawed crotch jumper!

 

[RichardHarrow]

Nah. Ilia is strong as shit. Charles had the double under hooks and still landed on his ass.

I just can't imagine a guy who was just in a very competitive fight with Dustin is going to beat Ilia.

Competitive fight ? Show me once where Islam struggled in that fight. Islams placed on such a pedestal that anything less than a stellar performance and casuals get excited …..

You think Dustin is surviving 5 rounds with Ilia? Come on lol

It’s a different style.

It’s a different style.

Whatever you need to tell yourself bud lol

Ilia is better than Dustin everywhere.

This description of Mooslimaev is 100% on point.

Every single of his posts, like 99,9%, no matter if he writes about Islame, Kabeeber, any other daggy or moozie fighter, or even about non-moozie fighters, has the sole intention to credit a moozie fighter or discredit somebody who somehow presents a threat to a moozie fighter.

Changed it to apply to you , almost word for word ,The irony that you are the diametric opposite is just hilarious.

I didn’t claim otherwise.

Arman didn't miss weight for Islam because he never weighed in. It is also obvious due to the UFC's response and maybe other reasons I have heard that what he did was much more serious than a last minute injury which is why he did not get this title shot and will not get the next or possibly ever.

I don’t think it’s PR. That’s the UFCs job it’s not boxing. Armans just a son of a rich man who isn’t hungry enough for the the tougher match up in Islam.

IDK why people assume Islam ran.

But I do agree Islam won't go back to 155, but it will be because he doesn't want to make the weight cut again.

Wake me up when Makachev fights former LHW champ at openweignt.

It’s funny because the same idiots on here will say he’s ducking but will excuse Ilia for not able to make FW.

 

[Dirty Frank]

That man is not suicidal.

He'll beat JDM and come back down to whip Ilia in the same night if he feels like it!!!

This the game we playing?
