Media Islam wants a second title, believes he can beat Leon Edwards anywhere

How about defending your belt instead?

 

[Prologue]

LW is in a weird spot right now. At this point, let Islam and Edwards bang.

Make Oliveira vs Conor if Conor beats Chandler. Make Oliveira vs winner of Poirier/Gaethje if Chandler wins.

 

[Chalky White]

He’d definitely beat him, but he should move up quickly before Shavkat or Khamzat has the belt. Those are 10x tougher matchups.

Islam should beat Charles again, beat Volk again, beat Edwards then retire so Usman can join the UFC and start his dominance.

 

[Lee_]

lol no. Leon would kick the living shit out of him.

 

[Prologue]

How about defending your belt instead?

Dude has defended via MMAmath.

Spoiler: Pleae don't hurt me

 

[Sincere Guy]

At least he would be fighting someone from the ABOVE division, not a FW... I would watch, but you and Charles have unfinished business to discuss in October. See you soon, "boi". First things first, you didn't even defended your LW belt against a... LW?

 

[BigTruck]

Id think it would be a lot closer than some may thing and one definitely would defeat the other or it will be a draw or no contest.

 

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

How about defending your belt instead?

Fighting for another belt should only be allowed once someone has mostly cleaned out their division.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Should go for that BMF Belt since it's in the 155 division...

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

Please let this shit happen. Last time he was talking smack about him being more than grappler and how he was gona ‘ko short guy’. Let him understand why he cuts so much weight down to 155.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

islam needs to fight people in the lw division.
Dude is the champ and has one top 10 lw win on his resume. Build his legacy at lw and start defending that belt.

 

[Dorkman]

I think he’s got a shot at Leon

 

[Adamant__]

Fighting for another belt should only be allowed once someone has mostly cleaned out their division.

Bingo!

 

[Pious Augustus]

lol no. Leon would kick the living shit out of him.

I appreciate your confidence, given your record of never predicting a Khabib/Islam fight correctly

 

[SharpasaRazor]

So many people will again sleep on Leon here but look at his defensive wrestling against Usman - I think he'd be able to survive in the grappling and would piece Islam up on the feet.

 

[ChimRichalds]

I tend to agree. I hope they don't let him try until he gets a few defenses though.

 

[Pious Augustus]

Fighting for another belt should only be allowed once someone has mostly cleaned out their division.

But Islam's gatekeeper already did that for him

Islam when he realizes he can't hug Leon:

 

[notmyrealname]

Islam certainly has a chance, but I'd still bet on Leon. I'll go as far as saying he'd be stronger than Leon as well. Only one way to find out.
