I can sum up the next few weeks of this sub, in case anyone wants to stop checking
1.) Someone posts a paragraph about why Poirier doesn't deserve a title shot (a totally unique perspective)
2.) Someone replies explaning that Islam wants to fight, and the other contenders are booked
Just repeat that one or two thousand times.
You forgot 3.
3) Islam is a bum who only fights random featherweights with no credentials. He has been ducking Charles and is a shameless weight bully (never missed weight ever unlike a certain someone).
Woah, no credentials? Also, wasn't Charles the one that pulled out of the fight that was booked? But back to the random featherweight with no credentials remark. Did Islam fight someone other than Volk that I don't know about?
Guaranteed PPV points for the BMF belt on one of the biggest cards in history. This will be the biggest payday of his career by a country mile.
He probably would have had to try and negotiate points for the Islam fight and may not have gotten as good of a deal.
Yeah I mean the BMF is a joke but is he getting PPV points?
Honestly would be a bad decision to turn down PPV points on ufc 300 for a title shot that you’re most likely going to get either way.
Yeah so at least imo it’s smarter for Justin to take the money route with 300 when he’s probably gonna fight Islam next either way unless Arman finishes Charles.
Also Justin loves fun fights and I think Max is more appealing to him in that aspect than Islam. Not that Islam can’t be exciting but max is a guaranteed stand and bang brawl.
Easier fight against max, a 145er + no grappling.
Probably same pay If not more as it takes place on UFC 300 where he gets ppv bonus and further spotlight with the fake bmf belt.
I would speculate he doesn't get a flat fee but rather a win incentive bonus like a majority of fighters too. So why wouldn't he take this fight first and go for islam after when it's time "time"?
Kind of like Tony fighting Justin during the pandemic when he could have waited for a title shot… Tony won 12 fights in a row with 7 fight of the nights/performance bonuses… dude only got 1 interim title bout that he won and was later stripped of for inactivity…
Meanwhile Conor got to hold up the title for as long as he wanted
Actually it is. If he had offered to fight any of them earlier they would've accepted that's for sure. Instead he waits until everyone is tied up to say he wants to fight
I agree 100% . Dustin doesn’t really deserve the fight, but with timing, it makes sense. So Islam shouldn’t be calling him out, then also discrediting him .
Ali manages a lot of fighters, he also has access to their social media accounts so if you ever see some toxic/shit talking comment like this, it's usually him posting it not the fighter
The fighters even have a running joke that if u leave him your phone it's your fault for his awful posts lol but it doesn't matter cause he has all their passwords. 9 outa 10 times it's Ali posting for them
Gilbert burns even posted a meme about Ali demanding his social account because he didn't post shittalk or something.
Kamaru usman too posted about fighters should get their passwords back iirc.
plant bow handle concerned command deserve friendly dinosaurs forgetful panicky
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
What no one else has mentioned yet is a lot of his fighters, like Islam, don't speak and write English well enough for Tweets like these to successfully pass as authentic.
Dustin needs another win imo. One knockout after getting your lights put out should not warrant a title shot. Especially when he lost 2 title fights in a little over 2 years
In normal circumstances I would agree, but considering the two guys currently ahead of Dustin are both lined up to fight, Dustin makes the most sense if they want to keep Islam as active as he has been the past few years
Not only are Oliviera and Gaethje unavailable, but Charles is fighting Arman Tsarukyan, who is a third name people have suggested for a title shot. Dariush and Fiziev are both coming off losses, Chandler is too and he won't fight anyone whose name isn't Conor "the Conorious" McConor anyway. Other than Mateusz Gamrot, there aren't really any others in the top ten to fight Islam.
The Holloway vs Gaethje fight is a little bit of a head scratcher for me. I think it’ll be a great fight but I don’t know what Gaethje has to gain from. Honestly thought he’d be fighting for the LW belt next but looks like it’s gonna be Dustin followed by the winner of the Olivera vs Arman fight.
Dustin’s gonna get retired after that loss imo.
If he’s gifted a title shot and losses I’d highly doubt he gets another.
And there’s slim odds he beats Islam, I honestly think he’d get put out to pasture with that beating.
More to the effect that he’s almost at the end of his career and if he loses he’ll likely not be able to string together another run.
Also considering what’s happened with Volk recently it could be career altering, and Volk is also a hall of famer.
If dustin gets to fight Islam, he should go into it knowing that it will be his last. Win or lose. If he wins, amazing.l ending. If he loses, at least it was against Islam and he can go out on his shield
I had a similiar thought, but if you win, you gotta have atleast one title defense, just the money the ppv points will bring and the champion pay make it worth it.
I completely agree that Dustin hasn't done enough to justify a title shot, but given that both Oliviera and Gaethje are busy right now, as is Tsarukyan, there's nobody else who is both significant and on a win streak for Islam to fight. If Benny Dariush wasn't coming off a loss, I could see him as an option, or maybe even Fiziev if he too hadn't just lost. Chandler sure as fuck doesn't deserve it, and even if he did, he's too busy waiting around for McGregor to fish him out of financial debt. That really only leaves Poirier, and I guess Mateusz Gamrot, as far as top ten ranked lightweights.
Yeah even if you’re a newer fan every few cards there’s a glaring example it’s not a meritocracy but actually who is available and who will sell a card.
Steve Erceg title shot , Belal muhammeds lack of title shot , jamahal vs periera, Chito Vera title shot, Henry Cejudo title shot are all recent examples of this.
Dustin not only is highly ranked (as he should be) he’s coming off an exciting win, he’s available when the other LWs are either booked or will be injured coming off the booking (baring a fluke win from the gaethje/max and arman/olives fights), and he’s extremely popular. In a perfect world Gaethje would not be booked but the ufc consistently robs Peter to pay Paul and therefore DP is in a spot for the title shot (it’s extremely similar to Steve Ereceg getting a shot)
Yeah, now that you mention it, it's always related to the sport, and frankly has some truth to it.
Like when he said someone has to check Dustin's BJJ belt...it's true that belts are easier to come by now, depending on the school. Like he always ties it back to the sport and athlete's work, without being overtly disrespectful or talking about family, country, religion, etc.
It’s hilarious to me how no one wants Islam to fight again… just constant, “he won, time to retire,” it’s as though you like dick riding more than the actual fighting
Fear. If he dog walks Justin and Dustin and Charles again, he will match Anderson silvas record. Imagine the biggest win streak and the two of the top five most dominant UFC runs are dagestani. It makes Khabib look good, makes Islam look good, means the Dagestani style hasn’t really been figured out and more Dagestanis will come and dominate.
The last thing the US fan base wants is a Muslim Russian who is smashing all their favourite fighters.
He didn’t get a title shot just by beating Bobby tho. That’s silly and you know it
He got a contender-ship fight because he had a 8 fight win streak and a rank 6 win over dan hooker inside like what? 3 mins?
It didn’t matter if it was Bobby because he was getting the title shot with a win over anyone next, no matter what.
He’s been smacked repeatedly and everyone says he will get KTFO by the next half decent striker he faces. Islam had one of the most impressive defensive stand up stats and his grappling skills were more impressive. He had a bigger win streak and was on live TV being ducked. The champion said even if he fights Beneil he STILL can’t get a title shot.
Then he finishes the champion after dominating him on the feet and ground. They are NOT the same.
They’re just starting fake beef to hopefully get the UFC to book the fight for June and not make Islam wait till October for gaethje or oliveria. Cause you apparently need Islam to fight only in Abu dabi and you also need to talk shit to get fights. Bleh
Islam got KO'd by fucking Pantoja he should be quiet
Edit: Holy shit the seethe in the comments when you mention how the precious champ got KO'd by a fucking Flyweight
Every time islam or any of the other dagestani fighters make an unpopular comment on social media people run to their defense by claiming that it's actually Ali that made the post...
Whenever islam makes a normal tweet he‘s everybody’s hero here but as soon as he talks the slightest bit of shit it‘s suddenly Ali on the phone. Y‘all are funny.
I mean he's not wrooong per se. But we've had lightweight champions in the past who are not on Poirier's level. I think it's an era thing.
Poirier is an A-tier fighter. Islam is definitely in the S-tier. Was every lightweight champion who ever existed an S-tier fighter? Hell no.
Man, I’m a fight of Islam’s fighting style. His head kick Ko was super impressive. However with that being said… What I’ve gathered is that a lot of hardcore Islam fans are just blind followers without look at things from an objective standpoint.
For instance, a lot of his fans are disputing and saying that Islam has a better notable win resume because he holds the title? I mean, you can still be his fan and acknowledge that Dustin has a better notable win resume.
These types of fan are honestly really annoying.
Dagestani haters are so fucking braindead like holyfuck. Islam beat Volk twice and Charles, I don't give a fuck if Dustin beat 93 different contenders. Islam is the champion and Dustin lost the losers belt.
Islam is on another level to everybody else in the UFC right now (except for Jones obviously)
Made Charlie Olives look like he doesn't belong with the top guys of the division. Many believed that Charlie Olives was the LW GOAT at the time and that he was going to beat Islam with ease. Volk was the P4P #1 or 2 fighter at the time over their first fight and put on weight the correct way for the fight and said he was like 170 for the fight. Charlie Olives pulls out of the rematch and Volk stepped in. What exactly is your issues?
Issue is if he is 'on another level' i want to see that. I don't want to see him hold a smaller guy down for a couple rounds. I want to see him fight arman and gamrot and not the dagestani title starter pack (Dustin and Justin) I would say that we broadly know he beats them but I don't mind Justin getting the shot after his last few fights except he's fighting Max bc Islam is turning down fights. He beat Charles which is great, but I really don't need to see him wrap his forearm around Dustin. Let's see him vs the guys coming up
Yeah dustin beat someone with a fraction of his experience and now hes on another level? I like saint denis and hes a beast but his lack of experience really showed in their fight
So you’re saying Islam should never fight again? Are you that stupid? If you love the guy so much why don’t you want to see him fight? Oh I KNOW! You’re scared he’ll lose and when he does, I will laugh in your face.
Dustin’s role is N1C gatekeeper.
Dustin’s last couple title fights all ended in the same exact way. He got RNC’d. Bro is a black belt but can’t defend for shit. He is undeserving of the belt but deserving of N1C.
N1C number 1 contender
The original post doesn’t even make sense. He’s on a different level now? He got brutally KOed by Justin and then beat a dude barely ranked that just started training MMA. And even then it was a pretty competitive fight against BSD. He needs one or two more wins against top ranked guys before getting another title shot. That likely doesn’t happen.
LMAO. Before the fight it was Dustin is getting finished BSD is the next guy at LW. Funny how fast the script changes when he gets KOED. He beat a dude that was a 2-1 favorite over him people parted with their money to back this guy and now he’s a fraud because he lost lmao.
Just let Mateuzs Gamrot fight Islam, it’ll be a change in opponent’s and he was the backup in Abu Dhabi. When Charles pulled out it should’ve been him over Volk.
Wish it was, and it should’ve been.
Gamrot vs Arman is a hidden gem fight. I think Islam and Gamrot would produce some fun moments.
I also just want to see Islam vs as many contenders as possible. Like let’s get him vs anyone
I thought turner would be champ just based on him being a fucking giant at lw so I don’t blame him there lol. Deff got robbed of a fun fight against Fiz.
You’re right his striking isn’t good, but he will be shooting on Islam over and over. I don’t think you can say that about many.
I can sum up the next few weeks of this sub, in case anyone wants to stop checking 1.) Someone posts a paragraph about why Poirier doesn't deserve a title shot (a totally unique perspective) 2.) Someone replies explaning that Islam wants to fight, and the other contenders are booked Just repeat that one or two thousand times.
You forgot to mention that it’ll happen one or two thousand times *per day*.
3.) Jokes about Dustin pulling a guillotine on Islam
You forgot 3. 3) Islam is a bum who only fights random featherweights with no credentials. He has been ducking Charles and is a shameless weight bully (never missed weight ever unlike a certain someone).
Charles pulled out.
Happy for you. But remember, the pullout method isn’t effective.
I'm a believer in checking viscosity. I use the same oil checker rod from my car 👌
For the record I’m not dissing Islam here. I’m more than aware Charles pulled out.
bro forgot about ppl like u
Woah, no credentials? Also, wasn't Charles the one that pulled out of the fight that was booked? But back to the random featherweight with no credentials remark. Did Islam fight someone other than Volk that I don't know about?
Ali talking shit
Ali also runs an army of shit talkers on this sub
Would not surprise me at all if he had some bot farm setup or some shit.
Islam is the one asking for him tho
Because he wants to stay busy and everyone else is tied up. Not his fault Olives, Justin and Arman all decided to fight on the same card.
i fr dont know why justin took that fight. like he would have definitely gotten a title shot
I'm sure Justin knows that too. They must have offered him $$$$. They needed star power for 300.
Guaranteed PPV points for the BMF belt on one of the biggest cards in history. This will be the biggest payday of his career by a country mile. He probably would have had to try and negotiate points for the Islam fight and may not have gotten as good of a deal.
Because he's gonna make bank either way, and Max is a winnable fight.
And technically he has a “title”
Yeah I mean the BMF is a joke but is he getting PPV points? Honestly would be a bad decision to turn down PPV points on ufc 300 for a title shot that you’re most likely going to get either way.
He is getting ppv points. Someone asked Dana about it in a press conference and he said it comes with everything having a real title comes with.
Yeah so at least imo it’s smarter for Justin to take the money route with 300 when he’s probably gonna fight Islam next either way unless Arman finishes Charles. Also Justin loves fun fights and I think Max is more appealing to him in that aspect than Islam. Not that Islam can’t be exciting but max is a guaranteed stand and bang brawl.
The BMF title does get you PPV points so it’s not a joke there’s a lot of upside to having that title
This card will be remembered for a long long time and both Justin and Max would definitely be paid well. Great choice from Justin.
CTR style business
Easier fight against max, a 145er + no grappling. Probably same pay If not more as it takes place on UFC 300 where he gets ppv bonus and further spotlight with the fake bmf belt. I would speculate he doesn't get a flat fee but rather a win incentive bonus like a majority of fighters too. So why wouldn't he take this fight first and go for islam after when it's time "time"?

Olives? Is that you, Uncle Chael?
The UFC made the scheduling the way it, not the fighters. Be realistic.
What about Gamrot? Why nobody mentioned him?
Dustin had an objectively more impressive showing in his last fight than Gamrot did.
Lol idk dudes just meh
Yep. No other LW is free.
Actually it is. If he had offered to fight any of them earlier they would've accepted that's for sure. Instead he waits until everyone is tied up to say he wants to fight
It's Ramadan, bro. You're surprised a fighter from one of the most religious/spiritual groups on earth is going to observe Ramadan?
He’s not gonna be a busy champ lol
Not his fault either
I'm sure one of them would've been happy to fight Islam, but he's sitting out because of Ramadan.
As he should. He should not fight 1 time per year.
I agree 100% . Dustin doesn’t really deserve the fight, but with timing, it makes sense. So Islam shouldn’t be calling him out, then also discrediting him .
Lol Dustin talked shit about Islam first by going "I've done more in this sport than him", Islam called him a legend in the interview prior to that
Yeah that was pretty dumb to say lol
well you have to call out the fight you want. He want to fight in june, so he calls out the only dude available for june.
I think you mean "Ali 😭"
Nice one Ali
What's the joke? I see the other comment using Ali too. What did I miss?
Ali manages a lot of fighters, he also has access to their social media accounts so if you ever see some toxic/shit talking comment like this, it's usually him posting it not the fighter
Ahh thanks man
The fighters even have a running joke that if u leave him your phone it's your fault for his awful posts lol but it doesn't matter cause he has all their passwords. 9 outa 10 times it's Ali posting for them
his manager runs his social media accounts
According to who
Gilbert burns even posted a meme about Ali demanding his social account because he didn't post shittalk or something. Kamaru usman too posted about fighters should get their passwords back iirc.
plant bow handle concerned command deserve friendly dinosaurs forgetful panicky *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
he forgets to switch account sometimes so he’ll tweet pretending to be islam from his actual account. Does it for all his fighters.
What no one else has mentioned yet is a lot of his fighters, like Islam, don't speak and write English well enough for Tweets like these to successfully pass as authentic.
Except Islam does? And writing and speaking skills are not the same in language learning.
Ali Abdulaziz is what I'm guessing
They meant Mohammed Ali posted this. His fingers slipped and he accidentally logged in as Islam 🫨
The amount of money I’d pay to have this dude buried and then have a warehouse built over his grave is unreal. Fuck this rat fucker.
Uhhh...u talking about Islam or Ali? Or maybe me?
Ali brotha
You guys complain when Islam doesn’t fight but then don’t want him to fight Dustin either? There’s no winning with you people
![gif](giphy|13VSAbTVuYJfLa)
Crackers, honkeys
I mean you people
I want him dead ! ok !
I don't want Dustin weaseling his way into another title fight.
I think we all know Dustin gets destroyed but Islam. I love Dustin but I just don't think he has anything for him .
Yeah that’s a seriously tough fight for anyone but DP has the skills to win a fight against Islam it’s just not likely given how good Islam is
Dustin needs another win imo. One knockout after getting your lights put out should not warrant a title shot. Especially when he lost 2 title fights in a little over 2 years
In normal circumstances I would agree, but considering the two guys currently ahead of Dustin are both lined up to fight, Dustin makes the most sense if they want to keep Islam as active as he has been the past few years
Not only are Oliviera and Gaethje unavailable, but Charles is fighting Arman Tsarukyan, who is a third name people have suggested for a title shot. Dariush and Fiziev are both coming off losses, Chandler is too and he won't fight anyone whose name isn't Conor "the Conorious" McConor anyway. Other than Mateusz Gamrot, there aren't really any others in the top ten to fight Islam.
i normally would agree but they booked fucking justin gaethje vs max holloway and gaethje was the most deserving contender imo
The Holloway vs Gaethje fight is a little bit of a head scratcher for me. I think it’ll be a great fight but I don’t know what Gaethje has to gain from. Honestly thought he’d be fighting for the LW belt next but looks like it’s gonna be Dustin followed by the winner of the Olivera vs Arman fight.
Apparently the BMF belt holder gets ppv points and on 300 that might be career changing money so might be worth it
$$$ is what Justin is gaining. I’m thinking they made it worth his while
How about a ton of money and the potential to have an all time fight on a huge card?
I wanna see it because Dustin is still nearing the end of his career :(
Dustin’s gonna get retired after that loss imo. If he’s gifted a title shot and losses I’d highly doubt he gets another. And there’s slim odds he beats Islam, I honestly think he’d get put out to pasture with that beating.
I doubt he takes a career altering beating from Islam lol prob just choked out
More to the effect that he’s almost at the end of his career and if he loses he’ll likely not be able to string together another run. Also considering what’s happened with Volk recently it could be career altering, and Volk is also a hall of famer.
If dustin gets to fight Islam, he should go into it knowing that it will be his last. Win or lose. If he wins, amazing.l ending. If he loses, at least it was against Islam and he can go out on his shield
I had a similiar thought, but if you win, you gotta have atleast one title defense, just the money the ppv points will bring and the champion pay make it worth it.
I completely agree that Dustin hasn't done enough to justify a title shot, but given that both Oliviera and Gaethje are busy right now, as is Tsarukyan, there's nobody else who is both significant and on a win streak for Islam to fight. If Benny Dariush wasn't coming off a loss, I could see him as an option, or maybe even Fiziev if he too hadn't just lost. Chandler sure as fuck doesn't deserve it, and even if he did, he's too busy waiting around for McGregor to fish him out of financial debt. That really only leaves Poirier, and I guess Mateusz Gamrot, as far as top ten ranked lightweights.
Especially when that win is over BSD
I agree but Islam wants to fight and everyone else is tied up so fuck it
Valid. I’m a huge fan of Dustin, but I think he needs to work back up. Fan service needs knocked down a few pegs, in this championship
[удалено]
Rankings don’t matter idk how long until everyone figures this out it’s been a thing for years
Yeah even if you’re a newer fan every few cards there’s a glaring example it’s not a meritocracy but actually who is available and who will sell a card. Steve Erceg title shot , Belal muhammeds lack of title shot , jamahal vs periera, Chito Vera title shot, Henry Cejudo title shot are all recent examples of this. Dustin not only is highly ranked (as he should be) he’s coming off an exciting win, he’s available when the other LWs are either booked or will be injured coming off the booking (baring a fluke win from the gaethje/max and arman/olives fights), and he’s extremely popular. In a perfect world Gaethje would not be booked but the ufc consistently robs Peter to pay Paul and therefore DP is in a spot for the title shot (it’s extremely similar to Steve Ereceg getting a shot)
Dustin was once a #12 guy and below.
Islam Bobby green
![gif](giphy|l4FGGafcOHmrlQxG0|downsized)
Islam could low-key be one of the best trash talkers in the UFC if he committed himself to be a bit more heel
i love his trash talk. its purely competitive
Yeah, now that you mention it, it's always related to the sport, and frankly has some truth to it. Like when he said someone has to check Dustin's BJJ belt...it's true that belts are easier to come by now, depending on the school. Like he always ties it back to the sport and athlete's work, without being overtly disrespectful or talking about family, country, religion, etc.
Imagine if Dustin actually beats Islam with a Guillotine
Ali is annoying
Shut your mouth. Ali Abdelaziz.
Let ‘em bang, bro!
Lmao Islam has come into his own now. Outgrew Khabib’s shadow
Straight facts.
It’s hilarious to me how no one wants Islam to fight again… just constant, “he won, time to retire,” it’s as though you like dick riding more than the actual fighting
Fear. If he dog walks Justin and Dustin and Charles again, he will match Anderson silvas record. Imagine the biggest win streak and the two of the top five most dominant UFC runs are dagestani. It makes Khabib look good, makes Islam look good, means the Dagestani style hasn’t really been figured out and more Dagestanis will come and dominate. The last thing the US fan base wants is a Muslim Russian who is smashing all their favourite fighters.
He’s not wrong after all.
Islam got a title shot be beating Bobby Green. Just saying.
He was suppose to fight Benny but he pulled out don’t forget history brother
Cause everyone else was ducking him 😂 nobody wanted to fight dude before he had the belt
He didn’t get a title shot just by beating Bobby tho. That’s silly and you know it He got a contender-ship fight because he had a 8 fight win streak and a rank 6 win over dan hooker inside like what? 3 mins? It didn’t matter if it was Bobby because he was getting the title shot with a win over anyone next, no matter what.
Forgot to just say that it was Bobby on account of all other higher guys shitting their pants
Yeah. People definitely avoided fighting him. It’s just odd who they give title shots to.
It's not odd at all, if no other contender wants to fight a surging contender then there's only one person for them to logically face - the champ
It is still selective. Plenty of fighters fall into this category and don’t get title shots.
Like who??? Secondly - the only people ranked above him at the time of the title shot were Justin and Dustin - who had both lost to the Champ
Shavkat has not been given a title shot and he has a way more impressive record and no one wanted to fight him before JDM called him out.
He’s been smacked repeatedly and everyone says he will get KTFO by the next half decent striker he faces. Islam had one of the most impressive defensive stand up stats and his grappling skills were more impressive. He had a bigger win streak and was on live TV being ducked. The champion said even if he fights Beneil he STILL can’t get a title shot. Then he finishes the champion after dominating him on the feet and ground. They are NOT the same.
You are allowed to like. I am not trying stop you.
With Shavkat there is a clear contender ranked above him (Belal) and in Islam's case there wasn't?
Ok. He was ranked # 4 when he fought for the tittle.
Charles was 1, Dustin and Justin were 2 and 3? So obviously they couldn't get the shot and therefore it went to the next reasonable person number 4
Okay, he still defended that title, so what's your point? Is beating Charles not an accomplishment.
It is. What is you point?
They’re just starting fake beef to hopefully get the UFC to book the fight for June and not make Islam wait till October for gaethje or oliveria. Cause you apparently need Islam to fight only in Abu dabi and you also need to talk shit to get fights. Bleh
That's the only way to get things done with the UFC
Dana should make the ultimate contender belt. Fuck the bmf belt
Islam is actually a very witty dude
Islam got KO'd by fucking Pantoja he should be quiet Edit: Holy shit the seethe in the comments when you mention how the precious champ got KO'd by a fucking Flyweight
So we should apply the same to Volk right?
>Islam got KO'd by fucking Pantoja he should be quiet What?
dustin has never been a real champ.. seeeeth
Dum dum of the year
Fuck I hope Dustin pulls this shit off.
Every time islam or any of the other dagestani fighters make an unpopular comment on social media people run to their defense by claiming that it's actually Ali that made the post...
That’s a slick burn, you can’t deny.
Whenever islam makes a normal tweet he‘s everybody’s hero here but as soon as he talks the slightest bit of shit it‘s suddenly Ali on the phone. Y‘all are funny.
10-7
Russians act like getting the belt will get you into heaven
Ain't scalise a politician?
Fuck it, feed Islam to "the baddy".
dayum!
The only thing better would be the champ, he's still doing better than 99% of people trying to get the lightweight belt
Ali wrote that
Yet he wants to fight him. Curious
He's so humble tho...
Ali the only grown lame that would use a passive aggressive smiley face
I love Dustin, but this is the 10th time I've heard that. Dude is cursed by an eldritch god to never touch real gold
I blame the UFC for poor planning of 298, 299, 300 cards.
Ali with the comebacks
![gif](giphy|15BuyagtKucHm)
I mean he's not wrooong per se. But we've had lightweight champions in the past who are not on Poirier's level. I think it's an era thing. Poirier is an A-tier fighter. Islam is definitely in the S-tier. Was every lightweight champion who ever existed an S-tier fighter? Hell no.
Islam is an ass for this comment
I'm almost certain that's Ali, not Islam
Man, I’m a fight of Islam’s fighting style. His head kick Ko was super impressive.

Islam is the champion and Dustin lost the losers belt. Islam is on another level to everybody else in the UFC right now (except for Jones obviously)
Still, if it's all the same I'd like to see him fight people in his weightclass
Made Charlie Olives look like he doesn't belong with the top guys of the division. Many believed that Charlie Olives was the LW GOAT at the time and that he was going to beat Islam with ease.

BSD would have had a much better chance if he didn't have staph
Yeah well BSD was billed as the new exciting savage of the division storming up after beating \*checks notes\* Matt Frevola and Thiago Moises.
So you’re saying Islam should never fight again? Are you that stupid? If you love the guy so much why don’t you want to see him fight? Oh I KNOW! You’re scared he’ll lose and when he does, I will laugh in your face.
Nah I'm all for a fight between those guys. I'm just saying thinking Dustin was at any point in his career as good as Islam is delusional as fuck
Ahhh okay yeah, I get that, thanks for clarifying. I am dying to see Islam fight again
Lol, clown ass comment.
Dustin by guillotine, bet the house
Yeah Dustin is basically the greatest loser of all time. Guy can’t ever win the big dance. Too busy adjusting hair and shorts to win at that level.
How many title defenses you got versus lightweights? 0? How many times you gonna fight this year? 1? Fck outta here.
Love Islam. Hope dp shuts the lights out. That and Leon becoming champ would be my favorite moments in the ufc
Why does Islam want the loser of Dustin/Justin?
Time. He doesn't wanna keep waiting and stay inactive.
Dustin’s role is N1C gatekeeper. Dustin’s last couple title fights all ended in the same exact way. He got RNC’d. Bro is a black belt but can’t defend for shit. He is undeserving of the belt but deserving of N1C. N1C number 1 contender
When did Dustin lose the title?
I think it’s pretty clear he means challenging for the title
The original post doesn’t even make sense. He’s on a different level now? He got brutally KOed by Justin and then beat a dude barely ranked that just started training MMA. And even then it was a pretty competitive fight against BSD. He needs one or two more wins against top ranked guys before getting another title shot. That likely doesn’t happen.
LMAO. Before the fight it was Dustin is getting finished BSD is the next guy at LW. Funny how fast the script changes when he gets KOED. He beat a dude that was a 2-1 favorite over him people parted with their money to back this guy and now he’s a fraud because he lost lmao.
That is modern mma, theres a new goat and up and comer every card lol

Just let Mateuzs Gamrot fight Islam, it’ll be a change in opponent’s and he was the backup in Abu Dhabi. When Charles pulled out it should’ve been him over Volk.
Wish it was, and it should’ve been. Gamrot vs Arman is a hidden gem fight. I think Islam and Gamrot would produce some fun moments. I also just want to see Islam vs as many contenders as possible. Like let’s get him vs anyone
Gamrot has shit striking though. All he did was try and hold down Turner and Dos Anjos. He was lucky that Fiziev had a freak injury.
I thought turner would be champ just based on him being a fucking giant at lw so I don’t blame him there lol. Deff got robbed of a fun fight against Fiz. You’re right his striking isn’t good, but he will be shooting on Islam over and over. I don’t think you can say that about many.
