News UFC 322: Islam vs. JDM (MSG)

[El Fernas]

Topturo did it first

Its all "single champs" now on it seems, multi-divisional champs only, same for the womens divisions.

So Islam can move up and immediately get a title shot and he's ok with that, but when Illa moves up, Islam demands he fight multiple people to "prove himself at this weight class and earn his shot"??

How do you think Topuria got his LW title fight? 1 defense, but at least he proved himself the champion at 145 before moving to 155lbs, time to do the same at 155lbs and then he can move for a 3rd division.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Should be a very competitive fight. If Islam pulls this off he's gonna its gonna be by submission or dec.

 

[Lee Danger]

u missed that Islam defender his title 4 times and moved up.
maybe a small note for you

i just rate Volk and Max's heads above all the four Islam's defences, it's really that's simple.
it's not only a matter of numbers but also a matter of names, circustamces and performances.

 

[1BadMF]

So far, no American fighters for MSG.

You can rate these wins as high as you want.

Still, Ilia is currently 9-0 in the UFC. 3 title wins, 1 defense @ FW.

Islam is on a 15 win streak in the UFC and has the most LW defenses ever.

 

[93confirmed]

Islam via unstoppable grapplefuck.

It's crazy that islam is a 2 to 1 favorite despite him never fought at 170

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Damn 322 is gonna be a good night.
I got Islam with JDM looking like Poirier but won't be enough. If JDM proves me wrong though I'll never doubt him again.

War Zhang get that 2nd belt boss!

Why? JDM doesn't look special. Islam is. It's the same thing with watching Khamzat vs DDP. One is clearly special while the other is very good.

Levels. I'd be surprised if Islam lost. I may just underrate JDM

Weight classes matter

Weight classes matter

Yeah no one in the history of MMA has ever moved up a weightclass and won or beat the champ.....

I don't view Islam as in the same league as bones or gsp

 

[Siver!]

So far, no American fighters for MSG.

Such a pisstake when they insist on spamming international cards with regional-level local fighters.

They used the "no more Russians needed" excuse on Nemkov because they "don't run shows in Russia". Yeah, so?

Just put good fighters on cards no matter where they are held, watch how this insane theory improves the product.

People who aren't Jones or GSP have done it.... you literally just watched a former WW who was allegedly too small just absolutely tool the champ and took his title. Not to mention that guy too also fought at WW and beat MW champs but wait there's more! Sean Strickland is a former WW and became champ.

But wait! There's more! BJ moved up and absolutely tooled WW champion Matt Hughes.

But wait! There's more! Ilia moved up and beat the piss out of a former LW champ to become champ

Conor McGregor moved to LW and beat the piss out of Eddie Alvarez.

I could give more but I think I've more than made my point lol

 

[pātrēärkē]

JDM gonna make me some money

 

[DougieJones]

I'm not completely convinced JDM is "that guy" just yet. UD'ing BeLOL doesn't impress me

and yeah I know, 18-2, but...
