What does Islam need to do to please you?

[Strijfy]

... we just dont like his fuckin religion

there , fixed it for you .

To be respected as a human. He needs to admit that he is a meldonium cheat and that his heart surgery was just a made up excuse, that never happened. We all know the truth about russian athletes and meldonium.
He needs to come out and tell his fans, that he cheated on the scale, that the scale never really stopped. Just like DC admitted that towel trick. Right now he is keeping his fans as fools, that blindly believe and defend him.

To be respected as an athlete, he needs to fight at least twice the number one contender and stop trying to get easier fights as a champion. Like the Gaethje fight right now, he should say that it’s silly and he doesn’t want that.

If he wants to go up to WW, then he should take a fight top 5 fight, like Kamaru. In best possible scenario after that a contender fight with Brady. Those are the two best fights for him and would be really cool to see him take the challenge for once and not trying to get a short cut. Then a possible title fight and one possible defense. This way his achievements at WW would be undeniable.

Right now it looks like his legacy will always be stained by some shady things happening and some great things that could have been done, never happened. And don’t try to make it like he doesn’t have a word in these situations and things just happen out of nowhere.

Fight. Just fight. This goes for every fighter. When they do their job and fight. I have something to watch. When they no fight. I no watch.

 

[sonhow]

He needs to change his name to Christian.

Christian "Julius" Marquez

His new name

 

[fries in the bag]

he can't.

- he has a loss on his record, got KOd, not undefeated
- worse wrestling than khabib
- looks inbred af

he's the best 155 in the world right now, but not all-time
prime khabib > prime makhachev

 

[Luthien]

Give me all his money

 

[Brigfa2]

Dagestani fans will always say Khabib is the best because Islam is not undefeated and he will never have his Conor moment. Western people severely underestimate the impact Conor and Khabib fight had in muslim countries.

Stop fighting cans, has beens and short-notice featherweights. But that condtradicts Farter's plan, right? Even if he stops ducking and padding his record with Gaethjis and Poiriers he'd still be a PED cheat and another man's waterboy, so he's probably totally hopeless.

 

[markg171]

Gaethje has to be a joke, Charles needs to earn a rematch too he got dispatched pretty easily in their first fight. The Arman and Ilia fights are what's next. Having a title reign of constant 145ers and rematches vs guys pushing 40 isn't very cash money.

Charles has fought Beneil, Arman, and Chandler since the Islam fight. We're also all well aware he's behind Arman and Ilia so is likely going to fight again, probably against Ilia or Max.

It's beyond a joke to say Charles is the one who needs to "earn" another fight with Islam who by contrast has fought Volk 2x, Dustin, and Moicano.

Charles is the one who's been fighting like he's still champion. Islam would get a hell of a lot less criticism if he had Charles schedule.

Oh no, not meldonium LMAO.

With rampant cheating in MMA even bringing up meldonium is absolutely comical.

It's like the least PED "PED" of all time.

Meldonium is a OTC joke compared to the shit fighter cycle in American or Brazilian gyms (or for that matter, plenty of Russian too).

Nothing will ever cease to amuse me like you crying in new inventive ways about Islam and others from Dagestan. It's pathological. get help man.

Islam will be remembered as one of the greatest LWs of all time. That's at the very least Sorry. If he keeps winning, he might very well become the GOAT LW.

If it's such a shit PED why were all the eastern Europeans taking it?

Riddle me that corn nuts

Is this even a mysery? Different regions take different OTC drugs as part of their training. Meldonium was popular in Eastern Europe, other OTC drugs are popular in the West (like all of them being on anti-anxiety medicine). This isn't rocket science lol.

Islam stopped taking meldonium and his performances have if anything gotten more dominant and better.

 

[TR1]

Exactly. Fight 2-3 times a year and your career will go much better. Islam has all the talent and personality to be a star but it’s hard to stay relevant when you only fight once a year at best.

He’s 33. He should be chasing records now. He should fight Ilia ASAP while he waits for his shot at WW.

Are you actually just making shit up and trying to pass it off as an argument?

ISLAM FIGHTS TWICE A YEAR ON AVERAGE.

Jesus, do you even bother wiki'ing his record before making up nonsense that he fights once a year?

It's hard to argue in good faith when random shit is made up and thrown at a wall hoping it will stick.

 

[TR1]

Lol. He's fought 9 times in the last 4 years. Of the other champs, Jones has fought twice, Ankalaev has also fought 9 times, DDP has fought 8 times, Belal has 8 fights, Merab has 7, Pentoja has 7. The 2 Dagis are the most active of the champs. Islam has also beaten the #1, 2, 5 and 6. It was #1, 2, 4, and 5 with #3 being out from getting KO'd last year, but Max got pushed into the top 5 in just the last couple weeks after getting 1 win in the division and going back down again.

So the answer to TS' question for you is nothing, you will just make shit up and move goal posts no matter what he does.

This post = end of thread.

Odd way of framing Islam only ever started taking it immediately after getting KO'd by Martins.

Fighting 2x a year against dogshit opponents is the problem.

This is a stupid argument even by your standards. Like, shockingly dumb.


More stuff about the evil PED meldonium:

"
Forbes reported that anesthesiology professor Michael Joyner, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, who studies how humans respond to physical and mental stress during exercise and other activities, told them that "Evidence is lacking for many compounds believed to enhance athletic performance. Its use has a sort of urban legend element and there is not much out there that it is clearly that effective. I would be shocked if this stuff [meldonium] had an effect greater than caffeine or creatine (a natural substance that, when taken as a supplement, is thought to enhance muscle mass).

Ford Vox, a U.S.-based physician specializing in rehabilitation medicine and a journalist reported "there's not much scientific support for its use as an athletic enhancer".

Don Catlin, a long-time anti-doping expert and the scientific director of the Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG) said "There's really no evidence that there's any performance enhancement from meldonium – Zero percent"."

“The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have decided to add meldonium to the Prohibited List, not necessarily because of any illusory performance-enhancing action in healthy athletes, but because of the real danger that it carries for the overenthusiastic athlete who may overdose on it and lower intracellular carnitine to pathological levels. A comprehensive literature search of several databases failed to unearth any cogent evidence of the potential meldonium effect in enhancing physical performance.”

Islam might be on other PEDs as MMA generally has a huge PED problem, but Meldonium sure as fuck ain't the issue lmao.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Not be from Dagestan.

 

[TR1]

Fighting 2x a year against dogshit opponents is the problem.

Ah yes, the infamously dogshit Volkanovski lmao. Also the dogshit Porier and dogshit Olivera.
And the dogshit Tsarukuan rematch who we all know Islam DUCKED via Arman blowing his back out.

Amazing how Islam has wins over half the current top 10 with all his dogshit winnings.

Get help.

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Nothing. I'm a pro-USA guy and I'm always rooting for my countrymen, but he is the real deal. There is no denying it. Further this is a brutal sport and I don't blame any fighter for manipulating what they can to get the best possible outcome which then yields the best financial outcome. Again, this crap is brutal. Apex fighters should do everything they can to take care of themselves, and f$ck everyone else, including us the fans. It's nice when the stars align and the fighter and we the fans get what we want.
