I think Hooker made a good point. Why fight a less popular more dangerous guy like Arman, when Islam can run through Gaethje, Poirier, Oliviera and make more money. And fighters move on from losses. Do you think Islam is still salty from getting slept in the first round by Martins? That was more embarrassing than Hookers loss to him.

[@joshf-w9602]

⁠​⁠@@user-io5xd6to1kIt’s not necessarily who Islam wants to fight, it’s also what makes sense for the UFC. The UFC still want that Oliveira fight because that Brazilian market is still their 2nd biggest market and then they have Gaethje carrying around the BMF belt. In regards to the Martins loss, it was his 2nd fight in the UFC, he got caught it happens and he’s moved on, something Dan clearly hasn’t done

Belal is there now and will never get it. Islam, himself, had to win 10 in a row to get a shot. That fact is, Arman isn't a "star" right now, which you've highlighted. While he may be deserving, he probably will not get it anytime soon. ISLAM / CHARLES - Let's say March ISLAM / JUSTIN - October Then, Islam will most likely go up and fight at WW.
