Media Islam responds to Toupuria

[Blanqa Blanqua]

I have not vetted this. But thought it was of interest.

Why does Islam keep calling out featherweights?

He's already a giant LW, if he fights Topuria, he'd have 3 LW title defenses against Featherweights.

You're not supposed to notice that.

You mean like Conor did, over the majority of his career (minus the title defenses)??!!

 

[Psychojoe86]

So Islam is gonna fight Gaethje (assuming he wins against Holloway) giving Justin less than 2 months notice to fight? And THEN, Islam is gonna fight a featherweight FOR THE THIRD TIME, even while numerous contenders at lightweight are lined up.

wtf his title reign is off to the lamest possible start going into the second year

He called out Leon before.

And he is replying tona call out, not initiation the call out

I'd like to see Islam try to cut to 145 lol. Conor actually made 145 to fight people at 145. Islam is calling people at 145 to come up to 155.

Islam is responding to callouts from the FWs and he’s made it clear that he wants to fight Leon.

Doesn't seem so clear, when he says Topuria after Justin.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Are we calling peds dagestan growth medicine?

 

[The Siege]

This is Ali responding to Ilia's callout, but Gaethje isn't even next.

It's winner of Arman v Charles

Then Gaethje

Then possibly BSD (if he beats Dustin) or Gamrot.

There isn't enough prestige in an Ilia fight. He has no defenses unlike the arguable FW GOAT in Volk. Maybe after Ilia defends 3 or 4 times.

Doesn’t seem so clear when you base your opinion on just 1 social media post. He has called out Leon plenty of times.

He was a FW though, hater.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Cool. Here's his real Twitter post

Bra, he's not even hiding the fact he's trying to fight small guys.

Islam: Volk is small guy, I fight him.
Islam: Topuria is small guy, I big Dagstani on Dagistani growth medicine

He's calling them tiny, and saying he wants to fight them lol. Not even hiding the size bullying.

Ilia called him out first bro. Islam is simply responding to Ilia’s callout. The same with Volk. Also btw- Islam vs Ilia would be a sick fight.

And Islam has called out Leon plenty of times-

You gotta admit though, if Islam was playing a heel right now, he'd be a size bully heel. Classic pro wrestling David vs. Goliath shit. Islam is embracing it too by making fun of their size and how he's bigger.

Sure but I also think most ufc fighters are trying to fight opponents that are smaller than them. That’s why they cut so much weight. But, I also think that both Volk and Ilia are really good fighters. IMO they both make intriguing matchups for Islam. If Ilia dominantly wins a couple at FW and Islam continues to win at LW then I’d love to see the two eventually clash.

Thx & apologies. I was about to take a meeting. Should have just waited and vetted it. I got over excited.
