Perfect time, because it's Ramadan the next day

islam should be fighting 3-4 times a year.

This would be great. I hope it’s true and they get it done.

 

[Fengxian]

Hopefully against Gaethje. Oliveira got nothing on Islam, I want to see other contenders get their tries before Islam retire or move up.

Feed Charles to Arman.

Gaethje!!!

#1 P4P 155 Champion vs BMF Champion

Though most say Charles has nothing for Islam on a 2nd go… I still want to see it. Gaethje would be fun too.. Win or lose, both fighters bring it… but Charles is my first pick.

Of course he wants to fight on a card that already top heavy

Doesn’t really want to fight

See you in September, Islam

Most champs only fight twice a year. Why should he have to do more?

I thought about it, but you were the one to say it loud.

 

[fortheo]

Good. I hope it gets made.

Everyone should be required to fight minimum twice per year, ideally three ( barring injuries obviously). Unfortunately there is absolutely no way to enforce it

UFC 299 is already a very good and dense card with a TF Main event and tbh this statement smells like the same BS when he "wanted" to fight right after ramadan 2023 and tHe UfC dIdNt WaNt HiM tO fIgHt BeFoRe Ad...

Moreover, both, Justin and Olives both don't want to fight in AD anymore, so they will need to find somebody who doesn't care about all the stuff which is going on there.

This is where I miss tournament style match ups

Hopefully against Gaethje. Oliveira got nothing on Islam, I want to see other contenders get their tries before Islam retire or move up.

Feed Charles to Arman.

I honeslty believe Charles will beat Arman within 2 rounds.

And I wanna see Islam Charles II. Not only cause Charles finished Justin recently and earned his spot by quick finishing Dariush, but also cause I think this fight is far from one sided. In their first fight Charles got caught doing bad jumping skitzo and lost. Charles can tag/sub Islam just the same. Still a tough matchup for him, ofc. But a great fight still.

Justin can wait and fight the winner. Arman the loser.

He's literally been calling out to fight in March before the O'Malley fight was set. Him not getting that spot is out of his hands, but any reason to criticize Makhachev, I guess.

Gaethje!!!

#1 P4P 155 Champion vs BMF Champion

I'm glad to see people exercising reason and wanting Gaethje... That's the fight to make.
I know Charles has more rabid fans on here than Gaethje does, but the last thing we need is ANOTHER rematch... (Arman is more deserving of a rematch than Charles is, in my opinion.)
Maybe one more defense after Justin, then up to 170.

this guy never fights! how does volk already have fight lined up before this duck!?

 

[BigSexy444]

Triple threat?
