Why Islam-Arman is not an option for IFW?

[Rubios]

I know, because of Dana.

No fight makes more sense.

Ilia - Charles on the same card. If Arman wins, for the next TS.
If Arman loses, the winner takes the belt.

U dagi haters just don't want Islam to get a shot at double champ status eh. He gave Volk 2 chances when Volk was #1 p4p and did not get respect for it.

Now Ilia is not even #1 p4p and in a volks weight class of 145. What does he have to gain

All the media and top fighters at 170 gives Islam the respect and says he deserves to jump the line. Only u dagi hater cry babies are still coping smh

Let the man get what he deserves, a shot at double champ and then Islam vs Ilia will happen after that.

Islam ain't no duck like your boy Jones, ducked Ngannou so hard and now ducking Aspinall

OP here. I am a fan of Islam.
That's why, as undeniable as he is, I'd like him to face the #1 contender @ 155 before moving up.

Islam is frustrated, you can tell from his many interviews, because he's behind schedule and he's not the one to blame.

He should've already rematched Charles, Arman and faced JG instead of Poirier (these two are fairly interchangeable IMHO, though).

And he wants Shavkat, no JDM.
He wants to achieve certain goals, and it'll take more fights than needed.

Euhm... whoever you're talking to, it's not me.

Once Islam moves to 170 expecting to face a HUGE WW like Shavkat after JDM, or a tank like Brady, I'm confident he's not coming back @ 155.

Lol orange belts going at each other

evenly matched

 

[CobraCobretti]

Because after shitting the bed, Arman will not be the next in line.

 

[b00tysweat]

Islam already beat Arman twice

 

[Conan the K-9]

They are both fat at the moment and there is not enough time to make 155 until IFW.
Arman is doing grappling competitions and the other guy is hiding in the mountains.

 

[svmr_db]

Arman already blew up one PPV at nearly the last possible moment & you want UFC to put him in position to possibly do it again lol.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Islam fighting someone else on the same card as Ilia would be hilarious

Arman got 4 Strikes --

1. Suspended for getting into it with a Sherdogger Wannabe on the walkout,
2. Pitches out of a Main Event with dubious claim of injury,
3. Goes out and Rolls in a Karate Combat event when he was recently claiming injury for PPV Main Event Pull Out,
4. Publicly lambasts the UFC for hurting his feelings when offered Gamrot.

UFC has no confidence in Arman until he earns back Respect from Dana's Premiere Global Combat Sport Entertainment Company.

Arman’s tough to work with. UFC brass seems fed up with him.

I have a hard time believing Islam will cut back down to 155 after his jump to WW

I think he just wants to achieve that dual-champ status, if even momentarily. Thats why he is refusing relinquishing the LW title for now

I don’t even think he’ll fight more than 1-2x at WW either before calling it a wrap

 

[Tweak896]

UFC is not going to put Arman on the line to carry a main event alone next fight bare minimum. Let alone IFW. I still think Arman's above anyone besides Topuria, but he has professionalism to prove he can do what he says.

 

[Pechan]

Cuz Dana mad

 

[Pequeño Corey]

A lot of to-do being made about the UFC's big mad at Arman, but I haven't heard Islam mention him since the fight was cancelled.

 

[jeff7b9]

Armen is on punishment.

He can't come out and play.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Arman has to go win a few more grappling matches and show he is serious
