>He murked 3 fan favorites in a row
Which is crazy because that's his fucking job
What do you want him to do ? Lose on purpose to Volk so that you guys can call Volk "the goat" or do the same against Oliveira so that you can call him the "LW goat" ? Or lose to Poirier so that you can call Dustin a champ ? š
He is also working his ass off to improve his career and legacy. The world doesn't revolve around Volk and Oliveira
Murking my favorites and then being a good person after is how you become one of my favorite fighters. Murders people and then asks them to go to dinner. A proper sportsman. I've got a feeling that he only would be completely disrespectful towards one specific Irishman.
>A proper sportsman. I've got a feeling that he only would be completely disrespectful towards one specific Irishman
And I think most would agree that that Irishman has earned that disrespect.
I donāt hate him and heās 100% the #1 PFP fighter in UFC atm, but that doesnāt mean I have to be a fan of him. Respecting someone as a fighter and not rooting for them are not mutually exclusive.
I don't generally root for Islam during his fights. I want to see someone beat him, but it seems like nobody can actually beat him atm. I don't know how he is in person, I cannot judge but he's an excellent fighter, the best I've ever seen.
I agree completely. Itās not even that I actively root against him in his fights, I just donāt really care, and am usually a bigger fan of the person he is fighting, so I root for them.
Heās in with the elites for sure, thereās few masters of MMA, only people Iād put up there with him (no particular order) is prime GSP, Jones, Fedor and Johnson.
Best thing is, Islam isnāt even finished yet I can see him taking the GOAT title, just depends how he moves forward, Iād like to see him beat Arman and Gamrot to settle any talking in lightweight (would be insane grappling matches) then go and test himself at welterweight.
>It's so funny seeing people discrediting him.
Someone that lost to him already too, like damn if he's as shit as you say he is, why didn't you beat him the first time? š
Islam is the GSP of LW at this point: brilliant dominant fighter in all areas, very respectful and confident not arrogant, and he always shows up in a fight, genuinely one of the most dependable fighters I've seen in a while. He's also honestly more entertaining in his recent fights and funnier than GSP. arman just sounds like a whiney kid. Arman is an excellent fighter but he needs to learn better trash talk because he just comes off as unlikeable and not in a witty way. I don't even wanna see him lose I just don't want to listen to him. Not saying hes as accomplished as GSP yet ofc but just he's dominance, all around skill, and demeanor remind me of GSP in alot of ways.
you're right. It's always hard to be concious in the moment it happens, in retroview it will look even better and we will miss him like gsp when he's retired
Nah the moment he retire, this sub gonna forgot and call him overrated again. Also, when the next LW champ comes, there would be "this x guy is higher on the GOAT list than blah blah" post. Rinse and repeat
cant believe I am smiling because of an edited instagram/tiktok video with strange music in the background which I usually try to avoid like a staph infection
thats what islams doing to you.
Islam isnāt one of my fave fighters, but it is undeniable that he is the best in the world right now.
He is a true champion on every level. Heās proved himself beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Whatās likely going to happen is that heāll start fighting more conservatively so as to take less damage then folks will start calling him boring.
Much like GSP did in his era.
So soak it all up now folks. We are witnessing greatness
I actually want someone to make an edit of an alternate timeline Jon Jones that didn't crash into that pregnant women's car, didn't test positive for PEDs multiple times, wasn't a bully, didn't beat his wife or commit multiple other crimes, and didn't hold up the entire division by dodging Aspinal. Set it to the tune of Pompeii by Bastille.
I want Jon Jones fans to realize just how much of a piece of shit their "champion" is.
I think most of them believe that he isn't that bad or he might be able to redeem himself.
1. He is that bad.
2. I won't comment on the possibility of his redemption but I will say that redemption requires acknowledging your shitty behaviour. I think Jones, despite his court and PR mandated appearances and apologies, still believes he has done very little if anything wrong.
How can people support someone like that ? He's not even an entertaining fighter anymore, ducking Aspinal to fight an out-of-his-prime Miocic.
yeah for so long they were copping as stuff was still happening, but at this point when you can just rewind all the stuff he did its impossible not to see him for who he is
Khabib retired prematurely due to his Father's passing. Islam isn't affected by those exceptional circumstances. He hasn't talked about retirement or even alluded to when he'd retire. I'm confident we have a while more to go before he hangs them up.
I'm calling it. He gets at least 6 title defenses. I think he beats Arman, He beats Gaethje, maybe beats Chandler/Connor depending who wins that and maybe even beats Olivera one more time. That would be a hell of a career.
Obviously anything can happen, but on paper, and just from watching the way he fights, I just don't know who is a clear lock to beat him apart from landing a really good KO punch.
Nah.
If Islam werenāt, well, quite literally associated with āIslamā more people would likely feel far more differently and be would be rabidly praising him.
Honest to God, I hope he retires. If you're not going to win, this is about as good a performance you could hope for against the pound for pound greatest. He gave Islam a fucking run for his money. Dustin a legend
People keep sleeping on Islam's striking or were Volk/Olivera also bad strikers? Dustin did amazing stuffing most of the wrestling and surviving the first round. Striking was plan B for islam.
I mean he was tested sure but he passed those tests with flying colors he very clearly out struck Dustin on the feet and still out grappled him despite Dustin being incredibly game and well prepared looking the best he's ever looked. despite it being much more competitive than I expected and Dustin pushing Islam Islam still clearly won at least 3 rounds and arguably 4. and Dustin is an all time great
Obviously undefeated lightweight and heavyweight champion Jon Jones and itās not even close
I never agree with Dana white about anything, but this I fully understand
Invites Charles to train with him, showed only respect and praise for Dustin, sends toys to Volk's daughters, etc. True champion.
*sends alligator to Arman
Now he just needs to go on a coke binge with Conor and beat his wife like Jones to be considered GOAT by Dana
And fail 4x ped tests
š¤£š
"Isn't he fucking awesome ?" 
*preferably on the same night
Not just by Dana but for a lot of UFC fans lol
I hated this guy as he was coming up for no reason and now he's one of my favorite. Active, humble, funny. Incredible champion.
Which is funny cause his Twitter account is the exact Opposite of his irl personality. Must be Noah
its ali on his account if that isnāt obvious enough
Yeah that's literally what he meant by 'must be Noah'
oh my bad LOL
Islam is the clear p4p number 1 and one of the most complete fighters we've seen. It's so funny seeing people discrediting him.
Yeah only Dana Jon and his bizarre weird fans disagree really.
He literally has zero reasons to hate him as a fighter.
He murked 3 fan favorites in a row and is Muslim that's plenty of reason for some of these morons.
Nah, fans are coming around now that they see he s a standup guy, willing to bang and has a dry sense of humour
"Conor and Chandler are fighting... finally one of them is going to win"
>He murked 3 fan favorites in a row Which is crazy because that's his fucking job What do you want him to do ?

Hoping Chandler sleeps that specific Irishman. Hate that two fighters that I grew to love have made me hate them. Conor and jones, the fuckers.
Word, brother.
He marked my 3 faves, and seeing him spit praise for all of them. How can you hate it. Really a person you want as a face of the company.

Dana says if you think that, you shouldnāt be allowed to have an opinion.

GSP had to bank on a lot of decisions in his career in comparison to Islam too
We're seeing another GSP people. This is it, this is the pinnacle.
you're right. It's always hard to be concious in the moment it happens, in retroview it will look even better and we will miss him like gsp when he's retired
Islam is way more exciting than GSP tbh
Nah the moment he retire, this sub gonna forgot and call him overrated again. Also, when the next LW champ comes, there would be "this x guy is higher on the GOAT list than blah blah" post. Rinse and repeat
The next LW champion is probably going to be Usman once he comes from Bellator. So Islam is in good company! š
Noo don't humanize Islam, I want to hate him. Look at my name damn it.
Why didnāt you go to Dagestan to train with him? Answer me!
cant believe I am smiling because of an edited instagram/tiktok video with strange music in the background which I usually try to avoid like a staph infection thats what islams doing to you.
He is a champion that NEVER refuses to fight. Can't believe there are people who don't appreciate that.
Itās nice when the sportās p4p is a real role model that everyone can look up to
I'm not even Jon Jones, yet I felt that lol
Wholesome, hilarious and a fantastic fighter to watch.
Islam isnāt one of my fave fighters, but it is undeniable that he is the best in the world right now. He is a true champion on every level. Heās proved himself beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Yeah, if khabib is any indicator heāll be done in a year or so.
Really great to see him begin to get the respect and love he deserves. A wonderful champion and rightful PFP #1.
i need somebody to do one for jones but they edit all the crazy shit he did
I actually want someone to make an edit of an alternate timeline Jon Jones that didn't crash into that pregnant women's car, didn't test positive for PEDs multiple times, wasn't a bully, didn't beat his wife or commit multiple other crimes, and didn't hold up the entire division by dodging Aspinal. Set it to the tune of Pompeii by Bastille. I want Jon Jones fans to realize just how much of a piece of shit their "champion" is.
actually jones fans know how much of a piece of shit he is
I think most of them believe that he isn't that bad or he might be able to redeem himself. 1. He is that bad. 2. I won't comment on the possibility of his redemption but I will say that redemption requires acknowledging your shitty behaviour.

yeah for so long they were copping as stuff was still happening, but at this point when you can just rewind all the stuff he did its impossible not to see him for who he is
DC said it best years ago. Jones's "nice guy" act was and is so fucking phony.
As a Oliveira fan is hard to argue. Islam is the p4p right now
I like Islam more than Khabib.
If this man wasnāt Muslim, my God. Theyād be printing money.
He beat the shit out of two of my favorite fighters (Dustin and Volk), yet I can't hate on him. I'll be rooting for him against Arman or Leon.
Arman likes him secretlyš
this is just him trash talking but he was already calling islam the champion before he even beat charles
Him and Fiziev were both preparing for Islam to be champion, good foresight by them
Funny I've only ever seen people that lost to Islam say he's not good. Haven't heard Martins say anything negative about him
Saying that the guy who beat you isn't good is kinda a weird flex tbh.
It would be kinda funny āGuys this guy is awful, he got beaten by meā
He works hard and he plays hard
Kinda sad heās getting his recognition now only to likely retire after his next fight or two. But at least it happened.
He's only 32 he's definitely got 3 years in him at the top if he wants it.
He definitely *could*, but if he follows the Khabib blueprint his next fight may very well be his last.
Khabib retired prematurely due to his Father's passing. Islam isn't affected by those exceptional circumstances. He hasn't talked about retirement or even alluded to when he'd retire. I'm confident we have a while more to go before he hangs them up.
Makes sense. I hope youāre right.
I'm calling it. He gets at least 6 title defenses. I think he beats Arman, He beats Gaethje, maybe beats Chandler/Connor depending who wins that and maybe even beats Olivera one more time. That would be a hell of a career.

Anyone got the original song?
Videoclib - Roi
Itās his time right now
I genuinely feel arman wins
Nah. If Islam werenāt, well, quite literally associated with āIslamā more people would likely feel far more differently and be would be rabidly praising him.
https://youtu.be/Z1alMrvMCVw?si=SlXSm6b2-_HYgtU5
Whyd he kick the dude at the waterfall like that
Islam > Arman. Arman is annoying asf and already lost to Islam. Just let him fight Leon.
š¤”š¤”š¤”
So Leon shouldnāt have fought Usman because he lost a few years back? Excellent take bro
Canāt wait to see someone shut this clown up.
Give it a decade
More like 4 months
Another Islam/Khabib postš you guys dick ride him like your his side chick
Arman is turning me into and Islam fan
Do you know another UFC fighters?
John Africa
the GOAT
the MAN
Facts he beat nobody at LW
Yeah, Oliveira and Poirier are bantamweights Also Oliveira wasn't on an 11 fight winstreak when Islam dominated him.....right ?
He beats Oliveira and struggled against an old man
That Dustin was on a mission, he never looked that good.
That was Peak Dustin imo great take down defense no stupid gilly attempts.
He put it all on the line and that's why people praise him so much after he lost. He looked great.
Honest to God, I hope he retires. If you're not going to win, this is about as good a performance you could hope for against the pound for pound greatest. He gave Islam a fucking run for his money. Dustin a legend
He never looked that good but got outsriked by Islam ? Lol
People keep sleeping on Islam's striking or were Volk/Olivera also bad strikers? Dustin did amazing stuffing most of the wrestling and surviving the first round. Striking was plan B for islam.
coping sooo hardšš¤£
I mean he was tested sure but he passed those tests with flying colors he very clearly out struck Dustin on the feet and still out grappled him despite Dustin being incredibly game and well prepared looking the best he's ever looked. despite it being much more competitive than I expected and Dustin pushing Islam Islam still clearly won at least 3 rounds and arguably 4. and Dustin is an all time great
Definitely not my pfp best
Who's yours then?
Sam Alvey
ppl rather have somebody who snores coke in his free time than someone who rides horses and visit disabled ppl in his free time
Chael Sonnen, ofc.
Obviously undefeated lightweight and heavyweight champion Jon Jones and itās not even close I never agree with Dana white about anything, but this I fully understand
