    Its funny how people call Islam boring when he has has beaten people like Dp, Olives and volk on the feet. He always brings it and finishes his opponent by any means. But those same people are perfectly okay with strickland doing the same exact jab for 25 mins to a decsion in EVERY FIGHT!. Make that makes sense?

      Over half his fights are finishes. But I guarantee you no one that complains about Islam even thinks about Strickland. They’ve both had boring fights and exciting fights. Islams fight was boring, Sustin made it not until the finish. And the Strickland fight was boring because neither would engage. To each their own.

    • @laurakain1524
      @laurakain1524 Před 24 dny +2

      I find Strickland wrestling pretty entertaining. Just like Dustin’s, their doing anti-wrestling to get back up make the fight more exciting. That’s what made the Islam fight interesting. There was no ground work in the other which was certainly boring as neither wanted to engage

      I totally agree with you, What does man have to show to get some respect especially from American crowd bcz that’s where half of the fighting fans are, but in the organizational point of view, he’s respect of all professional fighters as fighters do know what they’re talking about and they know his strength and kind of fighter he is, IMHO He’s well respected in the UFC and other Organization but at the same time, fans must not be biased and should give credit to the fighters where credit is due, Not all Stand up fights are awesome, Look what happened to Co Main Event

Both highly surprising. That is what makes me desire that Dustin stays. He is right there, and I think a rematch would see him shine.

    My suggestion, Islam has 2 main fighters in his division: Arman & Gaethji.
    Other potential fighters we can consider are: Illia, Holloway, (i dont want to mention but here is it) Conor and Chandler.
    It can planned out like this:
    - Islam should fight 1 of these fighters in his division: Arman/Gaethji
    If UFC wants, they can go for Arman VS Gaethji and the winner can fight Islam. (In meantime, Islam can recover from this fight)
    - Also, in meantime, Belal vs Leon would take place. If leon wins, then Islam has the opportunity to move to that division (after 1 more title defense fight in his division). But if Belal wins, then i really don't know. Islam & belal wouldn't fight. It is possible that Belal can defend his title 1-2 times and move up, while Islam fights 1-2 guys in his division.
    ---
    For Dustin, there are 3 options:
    1. Retire (I personally want him to, let people remember him by this last performance against Islam)
    2. Fight Volk
    3. Fight Gaethji (it is 1-1 now, lets settle this).
    4. Fight Max (for BMF title again)

    Idk who calling Islam boring … you must hate everything about the sport to hate the guy he is true definition of MMA virtuoso, dude is on another level he can literally do anything mma offers and what else he should do ? He has exciting fights , he can win decisions , he can win knock outs , he can win submissions. Guy has won every possible way to win …

    We can get a pretty good idea on UFC's appetite just by looking at the headliner for ufc 303 😂

  • @ConnoisseurOfExistence

    I definitely want to see Islam fighting for the 170 lbs belt, but not before he rematch Arman. Arman deserves the chance, he barely loss his ufc debut vs Islam, already defeat Oliveira, and said he knows how to beat Islam after a full training camp. I don't know if he can win or not, but he deserves the chance.

    You've got a lightweight division in the UFC with names like Porier and Gaethje that have gone back down and taken on the next up and comers beat them stunningly but there's a guy at the top that they can't hardly touch. It says the lightweight division is locked up pretty much already and it's a problem. Who is Islam going to fight? Now that was a heck of a fight. Dustin was fighting as a man possessed like he knew this was the last shot. He forced Islam to dig down deep so I'm a little on the fence but before long it just seems Islam is going to need to test those 170lb waters. I've always thought it would be a shame if Islam left the division without fighting Porier and Gaethje. I want to see that fight. I never thought either would win. I always thought they could win but I wanted to see it. And we've got this new kid to the division we can't forget named Holloway. Not sure if Islam feels a strong need to fight him but why not put that name on the resume. But Islam can't stay too long if he's going up. He needs to start acclimating to that size and the Dagestanis don't do things in a foolish or impulsive way. He will probably go up in a way that gives him time to come up to the weight naturally.

      Tsarukyan, Gamrot and maybe Gaethje. Other than these, there's nobody to give Makhachev a proper fight (on paper, at least...).
      Chandler might get a shot if he knocks McGregor into retirement. Who knows ?

    *Finally* you’re making sense speaking bout Islam. Yes we
    want to see what he can achieve in 170 and if he can *take the belt* and *defend it* against a savage contenders that’s there. Make it happen *ASAP* while he’s in his prime before he says he’s going to retire, because *he probably won’t fight past his prime time* in my opinion.

    It's gonna ultimately come down to whether or not Leon beats Belal in July. If he does, Leon vs Islam will be booked. If Belal wins, Islam will likely stay at 155 and fight Arman. If Islam fights and beats Leon, he will have wins over the Champs in weight classes above and below his own. That's a GSP level achievement, except it would be done in a shorter time window.
    You can't really argue against Sambo being the best base for MMA anymore. The amount of danger these Combat Sambo gold medalists pose in scrambles and transitions is second to none.

    Nothing against DP and his performance, I think he looked at his best…I think the opposite about Islam. He didn’t look good at all, as in he literally looked unwell. During the weigh ins is pretty common, but even in the walk outs, he looked legit sick. I don’t think Islam was 100%
