What? Jack tried to toss Islam multiple times with a wizzer in. That literally never works, you learn that on like your 4th day of wrestling practice, and he tried it multiple times, and got destroyed doing it multiple times. His grappling is atrocious, he would have tapped if he was a 155er
You don't go 25 with Islam on top of you with atrocious grappling. You just don't.
 
That's the thing. It's a dismissive weird trope.
I'm not a fan.
I hate it. Especially if I watch this back as Islam gotta be too 3 pound for pound in the world. And Islam gave JDM respect I felt. I never thought the weight would be a problem. Islam isn’t cutting to 155 again, Illia isn’t isn’t going up to 170.
 
Islam was trying for subs but JDM was defending well. Mandatory stand up after 60 seconds is ridiculous. Its MMA, not striking under special rulesets. Nothing is stopping anyone from developing better wrestling or training with Dagi's.
Nah. These dagis are abusing the rules just getting takedowns and sitting on top of their opponents.

It's near impossible to stand up against that level of grappler not willing to take any risks to finish the fight. If you try to force it without them creating an opening, you just end up giving up your back.

The rules should put the onus on the fighter on top to take risks and try to finish the fight, not just hold position.
 
Wins second belt, barely even a mark on his face doing it.

Dummies will say that was boring, or Jack sucks and has always sucked, but that was undoubtedly a very impressive accomplishment from Islam.

Jack survived 25, which is impressive in its own right. To have Islam in a dominant position on the ground for the better part of 25 minutes without getting subbed is something of a consolation prize, I guess.
It’s subjectively boring because Islam could have opened up more. Impressive for both sides but Khabib for instance would’ve flogged the absolute fuck out of JDM there. JDM gets up, ah well we will take him down again. Beat the fuck out of him until he gives a chance to finish the fight.
 
That toss works all of the time and i hit all the time. Maybe you suck at it. Turns out Islam is better at grappling that Jack. I do armbars really well, probably better than Jack. I’m probably going to catch Islam in one. GUESS THEY DONT WORK

Tossing someone and landing in a dominant position with a wizzer NEVER works, ever, vs anyone decent. Wtf are you talking about? The entire point of a wizzer is to neutralize their offense, it is never meant to be an offensive move itself. It might work for high school fights or middle school fights, maybe?
 
Did your people help in creating the society that built the technology and language for you to type this?
Of course.

Russian scientists, engineers, writers, artists, IT specialists were instrumental in creating the modern Western society.

Too bad that after all that effort, Anglos still suck at fighting.
 
What the fuck is it with DC and Ian Garry? Is he trying to fuck Ian’s wife or something? He’s brought him up in like 6 different situations
 
I don't think so anymore, he had pretty mid performances against Ian Garry and Geoff Neal and Islam made it look easy against JDM here
Strong doubt. Shavkat went to war with Neal and Shavkat couldn't do anything with Ian on the ground.
He strangled Geof Neal standing after walking through his heavy leather, after Neal came in half a weight class heavy. He beat Garry with one knee.
 
when was the last time a championship fight was even remotely close? all recent fights for the belt has either been a rd1 ko or 50-45 domination
 
Bro Islam won on the feet, WTF was that? Who is this guy?
 
I hate it. Especially if I watch this back as Islam gotta be too 3 pound for pound in the world. And Islam gave JDM respect I felt. I never thought the weight would be a problem. Islam isn’t cutting to 155 again, Illia isn’t isn’t going up to 170.
Whatta you going to do?
Its just shitty broadcasting period.
Bob Costas and Jim Nantz are busy.
