I think Illia is a bad matchup for Islam (relative to everyone in the 155 pool).
If Illia manages to beat Lopez, I could see him challenging Islam for the 155 belt immediately afterwards; I would hate it if this fight never happens before Islam retires.
 
Id like to see Islam vs Topuria -- just to see how Islam deals with Ilia's arrogance and trash talk.

Could have a Khabib-Conor vibe -- which would be great hype for the fight.
 
50/50 fight. Ilia has all the tools to beat Islam.

Put it this way even tho Ilia is a FW he the biggest threat to Islam. Those group of guys (Poirier, Chandler, Do Bronx, Gaethje) are not on Ilia's level
 
Islam overpowering grappler, Max pillow fisted boxer. hmmm. I can see why you'd think it's remotely similar.
Islam overpowered Dustin? No.

Topuria has been doing Judo since age 4-5?

He’ll be ready for Islam’s ground game. Islam ain’t taking him down.

That’s what you guys don’t understand about Topuria… he could take anyone down he wants to but he chooses to keep it standing
 
Topuria is a one of a kind fighter.
Mackachev too.

That being said, size MATTERS
So Id go Islam sunmisdion 4rd round
 
Lol I mean if Adriano Martins can do this to Islam

Imagine what Topuria would to to him, Islam is a level below Illia, not that there's anything wrong with that though.
 
Do you really want me to dig up posts of you clowning islam for fighting FWs? Don’t embarrass yourself further.
I haven’t made a single post about that. You are clearly delusional. I’m waiting for you to dig up this supposed post. Weirdo.
