Media UFC giving Makhachev some love

[Steve Fox]

It really shouldn't be personal in any way, especially since he's the champ.
I know the UFC is about as petty as a company can be, but there's a line sir.

Definitely brother Lemur but it seems they have some sort of agenda here. Probably all the marketing BS as Islam doesn't work himself that way, not that he needed to be fair but hey, clout sells and those are the times we live in.

It means they don't want him as champ. Which is why they jumped at champ-champ potential for Volk. Then jumped at Charles killing off the rightful contender to give a 1-0 guy the title shot over Beneil's 8-0 streak. Then release a promo video featuring Volk's best minute in a 25 minute fight.

We can argue whether it is smart or not... but UFC clearly does not want Islam as LW champ. If Charles wins this fight, can guarantee there's no instant rubber match for Islam.

Yeah.. You are probably righ.

We might live in that time, but it doesn't make it right brother.

@Dionysian Now I hope Islam gets 10 defenses just to fuckin spite them sir.

He will rule the division until he passes the torch over to Usman Nurmagomedov.

I want Usman in UFC as soon as possible. Wish he could fight vs Islam. But that will never happen.

 

[Paul E Gensinger]

I really do not see anyone beating Islam at 155 right now.

He's a generational talent.
And to put the Volk fight in perspective: Volk will end up as FW Goat, and could probably beat most LWs.

If he can beat Aldo's 9 title defenses streak, no doubt. But do you really believe he can?

 

[Kb7]

He will never avenge that loss to Adriano Martins though.

Volkanovski will never avenge that loss to Corey Nelson thoufh.

 

[Steve Fox]

I definitely agree with you.

Dp, Gaethje got shots definitely. Who else is there right now. LW kinda dead at the moment. So I guess Justin is the challenge. The rest have canceled each other out. Literally all of them.


I wanna see Justin. The Dp pick up a win and go after him

Justin is the easiest fight for Islam. Dude has literally zero BJJ.

Chandler, if he had better fight IQ, would be the toughest fight for Islam. In the near future, Arman has the best shot at beating Islam.

 

[WalterSobchak]

He deserves ZERO

Ehhh. That's pretty hard.
Could end up as one of the best LWs of all time. And might could win the WW strap.

Dawson could be an interesting fight if he wins a couple more.

Gamrot, Tsarukyan, and Fiziev are all still in the mix and developing. Beneil looked terrible with Oliveira, and is a bit too old. I don't think Justin has anything for Islam.
