We need another Islam interview.
Islam should stick to people who know him, and can get the best out of him in an interview. Dc def fits the bikl
@@lebraaглавное
Yes brother, please brother we need this
Brother Australia dont have wrestling
Yes bradha, we need the Mouth breathing mumbling steroid juice head
We need islam interview next brother
No we really don't
So excited for the next “DC check in with Islam” :)
Arman didn’t even beat Charles convincingly. Alex said the same thing thinking the second match will go as the first. Different day different match so Arman can get knocked out in the first round or choked out in the second. He always talks about the fact that it was his debut 5 years ago. Well Islam has evolved also into a better fighter
The thing is, short notice was disadvantage for Makhachev as well because they weren't preparing for a wrestler like Arman, while Arman wasn't preparing for Makhachev too, Makhachev was more known ufc fighter while Arman was unknown as a fighter at that point, being unknown is an advantage, Makhachev didn't know Arman had good wrestling while Arman knew Makhachev better. Now Makhachev can prepare and study Arman's style as well, Arman acting like that was disadvange for him only makes no sense. Short notice Jalin Turner KOed Bobby Green, short notice Nate finished Conor, short notice Hernandez KOed Dariush, there are many examples being short notice is also being disadvantage for both fighters.
@@timurjack8773Both you guys are idiots. No disadvantage for Arman? Being 23 years old and taking a very short notice replacement fight against an established 28 year old Islam at the time. Look at Volk vs Islam 1 vs 2. Razor close decision that could've gone either way, and then a non competitive first round ko in the 2nd. What was the difference between those fights? One was coming off the couch and one was already in a training camp.
Knocked out in 1st or choked out in second? When Islam couldn't even do that the 1st time when Arman was VERY young for the sport and making his debut against a incredibly tough opponent while coming off the couch. It would make sense you two idiots are fans of DC, the idiot with the biggest platform. Idiots attract one another. Later guys
I notice Islam' progression is way more refine than Arman', they hype "young Arman short notice" this time lmao
Besides Arman was fighting Islam so defensively. He wasn't ever dominant in that fight. Just kept stuffing takedowns
Islam is SO good that he’s in a lose/lose situation all the time. Everyone knows he beats the other lightweights easy, but until he faces them they’ll continue to discredit him.
Comments like these drives me crazy...Islam has TWO top 15 wins..Charles and hooker..Armen wasn't even ranked back then..but this idea that he beats everyone EASILY is so absurd. You people seem to forget JUST TWO fights ago...Volk nearly beat islam and some people think Volk should have won. Yes, he knocked Volk out but Volk had 0 fight camp plus he flew to abu dhabi. Islam could have fought Justin in Feb but declined it for NO REASON...then he "calls out" Armen when armen just had a camp/fight for 6 weeks later. lmao. Islam just needs to keep fighting and winning...but this idea he beats everyone easily without having to actually fight them is so lame
@PrimeTonysElbows , 1st Volk fight was almost like with a rehydration clause disadvantage for Makhachev, similar to Davis vs Ryan Garcia fight. Because every other place gives 36 hours rehydration time, only Australia Perth was 24 hours and Volk's coach said 24 hours was their advantage vs Makhachev because Volk can cut weight to 145 lbs, Makhachev can't, so Volk had more advantage at 155 lbs with 24 hours rehydration, when it was always 36 hours, in rematch Volk got KOed 1st round, preparation time is not an excuse because of 1st round finish, cardio wasn't needed for the rematch.
@@PrimeTonysElbows He beats Poirier and Gaethje in the same night, and that right there is Charles’ title legacy. The UFC didn’t want him for February as well. And like I said, until he faces them you’ll continue to discredit him. Just sit back and watch now I guess
@@timurjack8773 knock it off dude... you're essentially saying Islam is a weight bully and needs more than 24 hours to rehydrate to an effective level to compete at the highest level. At end of the day he still fought a featherweight, a guy Islam called out. Stop with the excuses. Plus Ali basically admitted Islam used IVs because a certain amount was allowed ..but the amount Ali thought was allowed was wrong. There's no excuse to call out a FW, then hold him on the ground for nearly 8 minutes with 0 strike and 0 sub attempts the entire time
@@taffyroosevelt7809 what are you talking about beats Dustin and Justin in the same night? You're literally just making stuff up. Plus Charles beat 4 top 5 guys in just over 1 years time... defended it vs Dustin by finishing him...fought Justin 3 months later and finished him. Then took the Islam fight like 4 months later and lost. Islam will never be as active as Charles.
Plus there's ZERO proof that the UFC didn't want Islam to fight in February...it's just a lie that you people like to tell. If volk can fight just a few months after getting knocked out by Islam...theres no reason why Islam couldn't fight too. He just didn't want to
DC deserves the key to the city of Makhachkala
Fun Fact - Islam is named after a Dagestani Revolutionary who's nickname was Makhachev and the city of Makhachkala is named after him.
@@CoolAdam247seriously?😮
@@alfiashaikh9228 Nickame of Dagestani revolutionary Magomed-Ali Dakhadaev (1882-1918), the namesake of the city of Makhachkala.
@@alfiashaikh9228 Makhachkala used to be called Petrovsk Port before he was executed.
@@CoolAdam247it's kinda wrong: it was Revolutionary's NICKNAME that affected the city and Islam's surname. and it was just "Makhach" (pronounced as Makhatch), not Makhachev
Love you man. Your clips are my favorite for UFC.
Ilia topuria should fight movsar or max
Topuria finishes decision evloev
Max. Movsar needs another win before a title shot. At this point, Max is ahead of him and so is Volk if he wants the rematch.
@@Joes35Max vs Mosvar for title eliminator?
I think mosvar is fighting ortega next if I’m not mistaken
@@peepo9411Movsar vs Aljo
DC how do you capitalize those words in your title? Can you give us a tutorial?
Why didnt you tell us Jon Jones was a deeply closeted gay man?
Why don't you tell us you are closeted? Oh wait, you just did.
Tbh, even if some guy is gay, who cares? If he can kill he can kill 🤷♀️
@wes52101 you're doing too much to defend another man. Pretty sus....
@@wes52101 Jon Jones is gay and thats why he beats women
@@wes52101Jon is that you?
Islam gets the most views after khamzat, these two are the biggest names right now. Without needing other big name fights but obviously it helps if they get those names
Ummm what?!? Anything to back up this wild claim?
@@smith9157Lol check any interviews in the last 2 years compare Islam’s with people like Chandler or Dustin… Islam always gets way higher view count
Love you & your channel from Bangladesh.
Great stuff here!
The BMF belt should move to catch-weight, so as to avoid it being held by a dominant division champ. After Holloway has one defence at the weight of his choosing, it should move permanently to a catch-weight that can move up and down according to the match-up.
"BMF belt is for the bums"
Islam doesn't need Poirier he is bigger than him globally
Nope
Globally correct. But ppv buys come from America mostly. You have to win over the yanks as well to get that sweet ppv money.
@@abdulazizroguie4737 You expect the Russian muslim to win over the american yanks? bro is a villian over there and the fight game has evolved Islam brings the "oil money" into the game
😂 That's too funny. He is a mouth breather that only Russians love
@@UltimateCombatSportsNetworkcontrol the salt lil man.
Ilia thinks he’s being too cool for school by not wanting to fight Volk and Max but it comes off as arrogant.
He beat a compromised Volk and before that beat Josh Emmet and Bryce Mitchell. I’m sorry but those two aren’t top 5 featherweights
Come on. It might seem like whatever but he has a reason to back it up.
Maybe he is just playing games, Ufc will make him fight Max.
The Alex KO was legit. Alex was having absolutely no trouble performing in there,
This guy's striking is just good.
I think he ko's Max but Mma maths is weird, can't believe it until we see it.
He was right to refuse a rematch against volk, he knocked him out cold first round, what is the point of the rematch ? You know a champ get mostly 2 fight a year.. Smart Champ don't have time to waste it with rematches to prove nothing... about Max he refuse to fight him before proving himself and winning BMF.. Now Max deserve it and make Ilia excited to win against him.. before Max was just a volk victim..
@@user-km6zv1dj1k What? Max proved himself just now? He was just Volk's victim? You do realise Max is tiers ahead of Josh Emmet and would easily be Ilia's best win after Volk. The glazing is insane.
Dominant champs get a rematch because of their legacy. Ilia can say whatever he wants, he has next to no leverage with the UFC. Everyone realises this.
@@user-km6zv1dj1k do you even watch fights or clips on CZcams? It was a 2nd round knockout and it was near the end of the round. You guys just type and make stuff up or don’t say anything of substance.
Before Max was just Volk victim? You must be casual and recently started watching. I love Volk, I thought max won the first two fights they had.
You can’t say max is a volk victim. First 2 fights were fairly close and plus max is levels above everyone else and styles make fights so just because volk beat max doesn’t mean ilia beats him too.. doesn’t work that way and we’ve seen it many times.
What do you guys think about having the bmf title on the line with Arman? I can see a world that bmf title goes like the lineal champ, always on the line. I think it could be best that way. But for getting these guys paid more it’s better separate belts
Armand was wrong only bc he's gonna have to take the belt from Dustin now 💎💎💎
Damn man, how do you get 312,000 subscribers already?
As much as I like DC, but he has to understand that Dagistani fighters don't care of the stardom or big name recognition. Khabib fought Conor for this rivalry and to defend against the best. Not for getting the huge star power. It'll come with it. And DC should know that Islam has more fans than any other fighters in the UFC except for Conor now.
They care about legacy though. Khabib was a dominant championship level lightweight for years before he fought Connor but even some casual UFC fans were unfamiliar with him. Same with Islam before Charles and Volk.
@@Joes35 I agree with you. But DC is like, they have to have that big stardom and fight people like Conor or Chandler. Bro, Islam has at least 5 times more fans than Chandler. Islam is a worldwide star, not an American megastar like Gaetjhe, Poirier. Currently after Conor, Islam is the biggest superstar in UFC.
Lol Islam definitely dnt have more fans then Holloway
@@xxxtino13xxx don't worry, you'll come to know and realize that.
Islam is a boring fighter and doesn’t have any x factor. True mma fans love Max, Poirier and Gaethjie more than they love islam. If by fans you mean the muslim community then maybe you could be right. In that case muslims who don’t even follow mma are fans of islam.
DC we need Islam interview next… please brotha
Cooperate Daniel Cormier 😂. True OG of the game
At 145
First there should be alex vs illia
Then the winner should fight with Max Holloway
seems like DC needs more engagements on CZcams
Hey DC, what do you think about the fight between Leon Edwards and Islam Makhachev in Manchester? If Islam defeats Purir
I’m sure Ilia is pushing for a fight in Spain that’s why he isn’t saying any names just yet, also he said that he would fight Max for featherweight title and BMF, I think thats the way to go.
Props to DC for acknowledging the fact that Conor played a huge part in Khabib becoming as popular as he did.
He’ll fight however the UFC tells him to fight when they tell him and that’s that.
Max and DC are the best😭😂❤️
How was Alex's wrestling, DC?
Also, does prime DC beat AP?
I think he should fight Holloway especially after last performance. ARMON should have taken fight you just never know when you will get opportunity again. Followed you since Strikeforce Daniel u are a legend of the sport
Love you dc hope you and the team good
DP💎
Ilia is only acting outta pride but he will also be accounted for by the mma gods
Rewatched Arman vs Islam two days ago and truthfully, Arman gave Islam a very tough fight, skill for skill, until Arman started to slow down especially in the grappling positions and on his back
Makes me believe that Arman would absolutely give Islam an even tougher fight if they do get matched up again, especially with how well Arman did in Charles guard
No chance, It was also short notice for Islam as well as Arman. In the meantime both fighters have improved. One has become a contender by squeezing out a decision against Charles whilst the other is the P4P king, Big difference in trajectories!
@@Enzo-G63mma math don’t work, Islam fan girls are crazy
Machachev vs Arman is the fight to make at 155 unless Max we're to step up but I think he should fight illia topria.
Makhachev with a terrible staph infection beat Tsarukyan so Armand may get a full camp but he'll also be facing a healthy Makhachev
Alex V confirmed in fox sports interview he never got offered rematch against illia in Perth.
Of course Arman did the right thing declining the fight. Islam would also never take title fight in 6 weeks. You need proper preparation.
About Ilia, he is a disrespectful fighter. But I think he is right in wanting to have the bmf title on the line along with the Featherweight title , if he has to fight Holloway.
Also DC , please interview Islam 🙃
nobody said he is wrong tell him to shutup train b4 come in to media n talk all abt rematch
Mma is the purest form of energy 🤌🏼💯💯
I think Ilia is trying to wait out the UFC for a title defense in Spain. When Dana responded that its not on the radar he has been hugging the belt and acting like he’s not gonna let anyone else have a shot if its not on his terms.
It's what Nate Diaz did for Leon Edwards he took him to next level Star power ppl learnt Leon's story and his fight 💪 too where he is today
Arman should have taken the short notice fight, if he lost he probably would be 1-2fights away from another shot. Now he could get skipped if conor does something special. And where is gamrot? Wasnt he the backup a while back and didnt he have a win over arman lol
Why should he fight twice short notice? His first fight was on short notice nah nah Islam fangirls are crazy
@@Krisso889 this isnt a carreer, its an opportunity. Your boy got hid pants taken from him by oliviera. Islam will kill him in the rematch, watch the ufc gonna skip him and wont give him a title shot
@@ili9572 Blah blah blah you always have the same excuses, he will destroy Islam you will see it
@@Krisso889hahahah axper he was surviving against charles, calm down buddy he knows what will happen
DC vs Holloway. Yamasaki ref?
Hmm. Spaghetti and meatballs vs fighting Max Holloway.
I heard Dustin Poirier song play during UFC fight night & then I was like who the fuck is this guy? Matheus Nicolau
Arman is totally right 💯
DC at 185 might be the most dominant fighter of all time 😂
Hed still be undersized lol.
@@dinbachok6424 😭 fr
Islam will smoke Arman in a rematch
Close to the same thing has already been said with Charles. Arman is an animal
He needs those names before championship DC not after!!!!!
We need an Islam interview
Holloway vs DC UFC 400
DC is great
Khabib interview
Max said it best, Ilia Topuria wants to fight himself 😂
I dont think alex wants the rematch right away and i think it will do him the world of good when he gets back in there
Stop ducking Max, DC. You’re eating everything he’s worked for!!!
People might consider the lightweight division the best, but I like the big boys:
Heavyweight & Light Heavyweight divisions!
RIP GURU🐷😭

@@jarvanhardcore3059 i will go with you to help
lets go
Fight fans and other pro fighters have to approve who fights for BMF title. A lot of people are NOT on the list. 😂
Ilia is a scary fight but he has not established himself as a BMF. Especially picking and choosing who to fight him as a champ now.
charles vs armam being 3 rounds was a crime
Dc do put islam vs conor on the table
We need islam interview
Arman deff made the right choice for himself and for us fans to see them in peak shape against each other
Islam needs a diamond under his belt for sure and hopefully fast finish so he can have enough recovery and training time to take arman in oct/nov
And ilia is acting like a brat literally kids shot …. Got the belt and best way to keep it is to never agree to defend it
Yo dc we need Islam interview you know how’s go
I think Arman was wrong because nothing will change with or without camp. Islam is also training hard.
If Islam beats Dustin definitely looking forward to Islam V Arman!
Insya Allah And Still ☝️👑 Islam Makhachev
let’s not try to gaslight arman into thinking taking this fight on such a quick turnaround would have been a good idea
Worldwide, only Connor can beat Makhachev in popularity.. check the social media engagements in build up to his fights compared to others including the BMF fight between Poirier and Justin
Social media engagement has little value when it doesn't translate to PPV buys. One FC is a prime example of this.
@@waleedabbas4996 PPV doesn't have much value when a fighter brings other incentives like Makhachev.. for example headlining Abu Dhabi cards which were rumored to 600k PPV flat..
In a perfect world my scenario Dustin beats Islam, max beats ilia then we go for the trilogy between max and Dustin and have all 3 belts on the line!
Ilia is planning to fight with me. But I won’t allow it to happen
Surprised DC didn’t back his boy and say he’s already a star
He is a star, he isn’t a superstar
DC next time you interview Islam, let uncle Chael join in
I just hopes Dustin wins and calls out Max 😅
Dc is 💯% right. Islam needs a dominant win over DP. Then move up and sub Leon. Champ Champ
DC had a good thing going before just making watered down videos
DC should fight for the BMF. make the fight happen.
Islam and khabib both fought multiple guys who stepped in on short notice but would never ever consider taking a short notice fight themselves. Anti bmf
This will a tough fight for Makhachev. We need to give some respect to Dustin. He did destroyed Benoit... My prediction Makhachev win 1st round Sub/KO
And yes, we need another islam intriview please 🙏
I think it's crazy that Max is ranked 9 at 155lbs when he just beat the number 2, he should be number 2 now..
If Conor wins, you do Holloway vs McGregor II for the BMF 👀
Illia has that arrogance because he has never lost. Everyone in the featherweight top tier has now lost a couple times, and he wants new challenges like the BMF belt. But the two belts are totally different cant be combined. BMF against Max would have to be lightweight and to someone who is a proven badass.
If Islam beats poirier, Islam fights Arman
If Connor beats Chandler, Connor fights Olivera. And the winners of both fights clash! You want star power… you’ll get some
Need a islam interview asap
DC vs Max ! Max wins 10 out of 10
Huge Islam fan but Arman was right to want a full camp and be 100%. He is fighting a soon to be dominant champ and no1 p4p guy on ufc. Only makes sense to turn it down for now. But when they do meet Islam wins but will be a very interesting and exciting fight.
In terms of Ilia only god knows who he wants to fight. I feel like he wishes to be champ and now just live the champ life outside and take advantage of the perks it comes with especially back home in Spain. Can see he’s already enjoying it. Like his fighting style but his attitude is all wrong.
Ps might mouse is goated even till this day. Easily top 5 goat.
“Max Holloway, Alexander Volkanovski, Brian Ortega are all the featherweights from the past” Wtf?😂 They are the PRESENT. Did they say you were the past when you lost twice to Jones? Come on DC 😂
Brother, who give him black belt
Arman is going ti be waiting 2 years + for a title shot now....
never need a break from DC
Definitely feel like he made the right decision turning down the fight. After all Islam is the pound for pound champ. That being said let’s not forget Charles had a year and a half to learn and grow from his loss with Islam. Arman faced a way tougher and improved version of Charles and beat him. Don’t be fooled Islam vs Arman is going to be one hell of a fight and I can’t wait to see my boy Arman become the new champ.
If illia fight volk next max vs Islam later in the year
Winner of Conor vs Chandler fights Max at 155 for BMF
Arman did what was right for him. If there is anyone you don’t go in to fight with a full camp then Islam is definitely it. Maybe he will regret it but he would regret it even more if he got beat again on short notice
ilia wants to fight in Spain next, so he refuses the volk rematch because he doesn´t want to fight at volk home, and he wants to fight max in a fight where winner takes all, that is something that has never happen, so it would be write your own legacy in a historical way. Im from Spain and he told that to a local media
Ilia is playing I'm conor mcgregor and i am the man, honestly he has some good ideas, fighting volk again won't make him that of a bigger star, max does though, or fighting mosvar absolutely doesn't make any sense when he has suga and max and even conor to fight, he is being smart, ilia is trying to make money for the ufc they should let him do that
thank you, hype "young Arman debut short notice" hard, bring the odds closer, i will still bet on Islam and win lmao
I really wish MAX would stay at 155, only one fight left for him at 145 and I really don't care to see it. Tons of fights at 55 and he looked better than ever at 155. Please Max
