Topuria Vs Tsarukyan for #1 contender

[Koya]

Topuria doesn't deserve a crack directly at Makhachev with only 1 FW title defense

Tsarukyan pulled out horribly at the last second and must earn the opportunity back

Makhachev won't comeback until July or something.

Schedule that #1 contender fight for march or April. Aligns perfectly

Only if Topuria wants to relinquish the Featherweight belt. He’s got contenders lined up.

Aren't they doing an interim with Volk Vs Evloev ?

I'd rather see Ilia fight Islam than Arman fight Islam at this point.

Fuck that guy

Both don't deserve it right now. Making them fight will make one legitimate to a TS without discussion. I say make it

I'd rather not have Arman waste Ilia's time. Fuck that guy. Probably just be a fucking idiot and pull out the morning of trying to parkour across buildings to impress a ring girl

Ilia doesn't deserve a shot at Makhachev right now. Arman is #1 he's the perfect fight for him to become an undisputed #1 contender

I was thinking about this after the injury. Then people can't say Topuria is another FW. Arman gets another chance to get a title. And Islam doesn't get a stain of another FW on his resume.

See it makes perfect sense

If knocking out 2 all time greats while being undefeated doesn't constitute a chance at another belt, than I don't know what will. It's soon, but Ilia cleans up the rest of 145lbs with ease, give him a shot 155 lbs.

Btw, fuck Arman, he doesn't deserve a fight with Topuria.

Champs should only fight other division fighters if there is no interesting match ups in their division or its cleaned out.

Ilia still has Lopes and Evloev. And even Volk 2 is interesting Volk had a quick turnaround after about loss.

Merab v Pantoja at either division is the only champ v champ fight to make right now

 

[Striker Fox]

That seems perfect

Islam can fight the winner this summer, then if he wins, fight the winner of Belal/Shavkat around the end of the year

Fake fan... flash in the pan fan telling a fighter who trains his ass off he can't get injured it might ruin a card he is illegally streaming. Get a grip of yourself.

Meh, Islam and Ilia are head and shoulders above the rest imo. I said this about Ilia over 2 years ago. Lopes and Evloev pose no threat imo. I would love nothing more than to see Islam and Topuria fight.

I havent seen enough of Lopes to agree or disagree but Evloev does look like he could be a problem and a rematch woth Volk is warranted given the circumstances around the 1st fight.

Context matters. First LW to ever defend the title 4 times. A FW with 1 title defense. Sorry he doesn't deserve a direct crack. Topuria Vs Arman is a good fight.

 

[helax]

It's over for Arman

 

[JKS]

Well it's either gonna be Olivera or Topuira. Or maybe Gaethje/Hooker winner as a next resort. But the first one makes the most sense.

Cute that you think Dana would reward Arman for pulling out by giving a fight against a champ and one of the most popular fighters on the roster. LOL.

 

[FreedomCricket]

No. Ilia can't handle Islam. Unless he vacated the belt. Then I don't care.

Merab vs Topuira is a better fight.
