Media This is how you handle a loss

Classy dude ... but too slow, and too chinny, to be Champion.

The mind and mentality are very important, even vital ... but speed, timing, reflexes, and DURABILITY are even more important.

I would rather watch a brash dumbass, who is fast and furious, and WILL NOT FOLD ... than a highly-philosophical realist, who is too slow, and who can't take a punch.

I can believe in the former ... but I can never believe in the latter, once it's been established the Chin = China.

A fighter can be "slow" like George Foreman ... as long as he is powerful and tough.

But is you are slow ... AND have a glass jaw??

There is no way on earth to be Champion.

People should handle a loss however they got to,and not just type out what the fans want to hear.


If all anyone is allowed to say is "no excuses, do better next time" then the sport would be pretty boring.

 

[Mammothman]

Good for him.

 

[Objectively Correct]

Kudos to him. I feel like setting the entire city on fire myself included when I get whooped at sparring. These people are professionals and it shows.

GSP would like a word with you

Also I don't think he has a weak chin just terrible defense.

you get hit with this coming forward you are going down

Gets punched on the button when he is already unbalanced

even Jiri got caught coming in against Alex

I still think Ikram can become champion

did we forget that this guy became champ?

 

[blaseblase]

I really wish Khamzat hadn't pulled out. This guy is supposedly a better wrestler.

 

[Dionysian]

Yep nice guy and comment but don't expect many to say anything positive at this place following a loss.

Yeah I really wish Ikram tried to grapple with him. I know the fight didn't last long but I really wanted to see his style of grappling vs Rob's style of TDD to see how it'd fare.

 

[Edward Henry Greb]

Sorry.

No one who gets flatlined, twice, in Round 1, is a candidate for Champion in MMA (or boxing)/

Islam got ko in round 1

even if he doesnt become champ he could stick around in the div for a long time with some cleaning up of his stand up

Islam is faster ... but I also think he is chinny.

That’s what I’m saying man! These dudes are such class athletes. All class. Some of the best psych in fight sport over in Dagestan. Discipline.

 

[clutchCAT420]

Great fighter. Anything is possible with the power and faith of Allah!
War ikram!

making a fool out of yourself is always advisable, indeed.

Aliskerov ate a flush shot to his jaw, a kick off the back of his head and an on the button uppercut and still didn't go out. This is after cutting weight twice. Yeah, his chin is shit, lol.

Clown world.

Anyway, back to discussing the fights with adults, the problem for Ikram was his tell. Bobby read it right away.

 

[World eater]

Respect to Ikram for this.
He could have blamed it on short notice, prolonged weight cut, big jump in competition, whatever, but he remains humble and looks ahead with a positive attitude. Well done.
