The exact number of pullouts don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Fact of the matter is those Abdulmanap/Abdelaziz fighters pull out whenever they see fit, they only fight on their own exact terms and in the best possible conditions for themselves. We saw the performance of Islam when he couldn't prepare the way he wanted to. It was still a stellar performance no doubt, but it was very close with many people, me excluded, giving it to Volk. They always have a varied, extensive list of excuses for performances and or pullouts.
And as it is expected with their hypocrisy, that is appearent in almost all of their conduct, they go on about crying how everybody is ducking them.
Also, gentle reminder that multiple members of that group popped for illegal substances.
Whenever a Nurmagomedov loses, it's a good day for MMA as a sport. Fuck them.
