Wow he beat #13. Guess we should give them the next title shot.
Hey it's still BSD. Dustin vs BSD 2 for the LW belt. Cracker of a rematch, sells itself.
Thanks for the new rules dog.
Dustin is neither the #2 ranked LW, nor is it 2021 anymore like when Charles fought him.
But yeah please enjoy your new rules if Dustin does somehow beat Islam and he denies him a rematch.
Islam's champion privilege is fighting
35 year old
0-3 in title fights
1 fight win streak over #13
last place contender

Dustin Poirier instead of an actual contender?
Damn...
Aaron Bronsteter has the time to ask Aldo this, but not ask how Aldo's fighting at UFC 301 at all considering Aldo's supposed to be spending 6 months in the testing pool as a returning retired athlete.
The media sure does seem to be turning a blind eye to that obvious question of whether or not...
When Dana announced Arman/Charles, which puzzled everybody at the time as we were expecting Islam/Charles 2, Dana said it was because Islam was recovering from an injury so couldn't fight at the moment.
Meanwhile you went to Islam's Instagram and he was training that whole time as well doing...
I said his opponents had to do a sooner turnaround than Islam, not short notice.
In Islam/Charles 1 Islam fought in February while Charles fought in May. Islam had 3 more months recovery and training than Charles.
In Islam/Charles 2 Islam once again fought in February and Charles fought in...
Nobody's knocking him for not pulling out of his fights too once his opponent does but nice strawman.
But staying in for a fight date you've already been preparing for is a hell of a lot different than stepping in off the couch for a fight you hadn't been training for. It's not hard to...
You're saying it was "well known" by using an article that says Dana gave a one sentence answer of "it makes sense" and not "yeah we're doing that next".
Meanwhile in reality the UFC was completely blindsided by Islam and Khabib calling out Volk that Volk was in his seat when it happened and...
Charles and Dustin both also had to turn around much sooner than Islam, after having to have tough fights first.
All to fit Islam's schedule of Abu Dhabi and June 1 respectively.
No one's saying it's not smart to fight when you have an advantage, but pretending like that's not what Islam does...
Volk was so officially next that Islam and Khabib had to call him out in their post-fight interview and ask for it themselves, and then Volk needed permission to come into the cage.
None of which of course changes that calling out a FW to come up to you is ridiculous. You get your first top 5...
Islam has fought in the spring and fall since 2021 until now. The excuse that he couldn't have fought in February because that's just too active doesn't fly. That's literally been his activity level for years.
It's especially bad as his last opponent who he KO'd fought on that very card.
The...
Anybody saying anything other than Khabib simply weren't around back then.
He fucking hopped on his private jet and flew across the ocean to throw a dolly at Khabib's bus after Khabib slapped Artem.
A true golden age of MMA.
