Time to start giving Islam some respect.

[Dr Fong]

Trash compared to whom?

its not like the guys who held it thus went on some GSP/Anderson Silva like win streaks

Trash compared to literally any champion who ever defended their belt against a deserving contender from their own weight class.

He just did that ?

His last 4 opponents have been the Champ, a legend and long time top contender, and Volk who everyone was jerking around as a GOAT contender.

Quit crying, seriously.

 

[HHJ]

haha, have you not been addressing them solidly for the last week?

Bro i dont make threads crying about fans.

I might fight them in threads when they say dumb shit but I dont make threads about how they should do this or that. I just beat them up

 

[CashMoney1991]

I think he will beat the record, but I would need to see a tiny bit more for him to pass Khabib, right now, I have Islam as the second best LW ever but Khabib was just so dominant

I would say

Charles > Al Iaquinta

Full camp #1 p4p Volk > 2+ year layoff Conor

Dustin > short notice Volk

Dustin Justin a tie

So in reality I would say Islams reign is a tad bit higher quality than Khabib. Plus Islam is active and didn’t create 2 interim belts and have his competition eliminate each other like Khabib did. Def some advantages here for Islam.

I would say beating Charles when he did > injured ear RDA, Dustin or Justin. Charles at the time Islam beat him has to be the best overall win.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

100 percent but nobody will give him respect unless he becomes a double champ but then people will just say he’s ducking someone dumb like Gamrot at Lw

 

[Deceasedxo]

The people who respect him will continue to do so, and continue to post lame threads. The people that don't respect him will consider to do so as well.

This is some impressive spin, but Volk and Dustin were not deserved LW contenders. It's downright embarrassing to fluff Islam for beating Volk in particular when the size difference was so extreme.

Also nobody is taking away the Chuck win. We are talking about his wins as defending champ - not the perfectly legit win he claimed to become chaml.

Nobody is saying Islam is shit. I am saying his title reign has been shit. Two different things.

 

[Dr Fong]

He just did that ?

No he didn't. Don't be silly.

 

[VinceArch]

If he did that he would surpass Jon jones

Fuck out of here with that Jon Jones is GOAT lol. GOATS don't pop multiple times.

People will absolutely give him respect as a champion when he actually defends his belt against a deserving contender from his own weight class. Not difficult to understand.

Another win over no. 1 contender Arman solidifies his status and silences the above critcisms

 

[HHJ]

No he didn't. Don't be silly.

Explain.

 

[filthybliss]

This Islam simping is crazy. Nobody doubts his skills, he is unamiously a top 5 lightweight of all time.

 

[fortheo]

lol why would you address the hating retards who havent respected him up until this point??

Who cares what they think?

You better show respect right now, or else.

Seriously though, islam is a great fighter. Always has been. I think even his haters can acknowledge that. But making a thread asking haters to show respect is like making a thread asking trolls to not troll you. It just doesn't work.

 

[HHJ]

Just gives them another stage to double down

Let them double down, its fun proving them wrong and seeing them move the goal post.

 

[Preston broadus]

Fuck out of here with that Jon Jones is GOAT lol. GOATS don't pop multiple times.

Everyones on steroids

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

defend against Arman, then maybe. but until then, his defenses have been vs handpicked opponents from the weight class below or who are old as fuck and had just been KO'd.

 

[VinceArch]

Everyones on steroids

Show me where Frankie Edgar tested positive during his championship run. I can show you Jon Jones, easily.
