Islam has the unfortunate circumstance of living in Khabib's shadow

There IS a very good reason!

[@RationalLlama]

I'm sorry Weasle but saying that McGregor is the best fighter at featherweight skill for skill, when he has had favorable match ups for most of his featherweight career, is crazy. Especially over a prime Holloway and prime Volk. And to claim topuria would be his easiest fight. Chad Mendes was literally beating him up and he took the fight on two weeks notice and gassed out. How can you say Topuria would be one of his easier fights?

[@CRT4Dummies]

@@FromAmateur2Pro yeah i just rewatched that the other night. i think jones won according to the scoring criteria at that time. but gus would have won according to todays criteria. it mostly comes down to round 1. jones had more volume and cage control but gus did far more damage and had the only takedown. round 2 and 3 go to gus. theres no question there. round 4 gets tricky as gus had more volume but jones steals the round with a flurry at the end finally hurting gus. so if you give round one to jones on volume you have to give round 4 to gus on volume. or conversely if you give rd 1 to gus on damage then you have to give round 4 to jones on damage. round 5 is clearly jones although gus showed a lot of grit staying i the fight completely exhausted. either way it should have been 3-2 gus. although i wouldnt say its a robbery according to the criteria at the time, but the 49-46 card was absolutely absurd and lends credibility to the notion that the fight was rigged in jones favor.

That Tatsuro move was done to Demetrious Johnson too in the Tatsumitsu Wada fight in OneFC RD1 @2:00-2:10. Looked like it almost took DJ's knee out too but he was able to fall to his back. An amazing move to get the fight to the ground.

Izzy has to see PoAtan in his nightmares.

[@emperordavid2044]

You are soo obsessed with this guy

People who listening Brendan's opinions on mma , must be those fews that liked gringo papi special.

[@koalawithchaingun53]

Islam pretty much only turns in early round finishes, or FOTY contenders. If you call him boring you’ve outed yourself as not watching fights.

[@Berlinbower]

Finally some good fockin content lmao thanks for briefly curing my boredom

[@josh-ci9hw]

dagestani haters are casual always

[@AJ.Lawless]

UFC should have called Holland to fight Whittaker instead of this newcomer nobody

[@seriouslegkick4084]

Saying any regional middle of the line fighter would easily beat the best fighters in the lower weight classes is kind of a crazy take. Your telling me guys like Islam and Ilia would easily get beat by some random decent fighter who’s a couple weight classes higher idk about that.

[@Xformat01]

Just some quick feedback . . . anything Adesanya . . . not interested.

[@YODAJJ]

Bro it doesn’t matter if Islam checks all the boxes of a fan favorite champion. Their hatred comes from a much deeper level but we understand them well

[@lolwtfbbq111]

What would that level be?

[@thelurker1330]

@@lolwtfbbq111a lot of ppl hate him just for where he’s from and his religion

@@thelurker1330literally nobody care about those things

[@itsreihart9865]

@thelurker1330 Nah it’s his fanbase consistently talking shit about GSP, Jones, Silva & DJ. I would actually like Islam if his fans weren’t so annoying & toxic

[@gagecee5129]

Because his bro Khabib beat Conor that's why. Lol

[@f.mckenzie4212]

That would be like us rolling our R's for spanish names, its just weird and pretentious sounding

[@Chris-cz6hn]

My thinking is if Alex Pereira loses they give him an immediate Rematch, they have to the guy has stepped up so many times and to risk everything to take a short notice fight to help the UFC the only move in my mind is give him a title shot next, it could be in Middle weight, LWH or even the Jones fight in HW. any one of those should happen and I hope all of them happen at some point in the next couple years.

Islam is arguably the best FIGHTER in the world currently

[@ronaldwilliams9635]

Yeah, when Jon Jones retires, I seen Islam get knocked out, I never seen that from Jon, I'll give credit to Islam if he moves up and beats Edwards

[@CRT4Dummies]

​​@@ronaldwilliams9635 thats a very valid point. but islam hasnt tested positive 4 times like jones or been gifted a decision that he clearly lost like jones or put on mediocre performances on the rare occasion that he has fought in the last 6 years so currently islam has tobe ahead of jones

[@abde4645]

​@@ronaldwilliams9635you sound like dana white lol. Jones has a better career than islam. as of NOW (CURRENTLY) Islam is a better fighter than jones.

[@galaxyvulture6649]

​@@abde4645You could even argue he faced better and more even competition. Jones had like the perfect body structure. Only DC was comparable to a olivera and volk win. Then Jones was a cheater too.

We Auusies do NOT like Izzy - big mount and obnoxious. Even we do care much for DDP, no cheers for Izzy for sure in Perth.

Johnny Hendricks put a pretty good beat down on GSP...

[@CRT4Dummies]

not sure if which robbery was worse, hendricks or reyes over jones

[@1OnlyOneOnlyOne1]

Its Islamophobia. No pun intended. Simple as that. Plus he is ''Russian'', even though he isn't, so the brainwashed probably hate him just for that. If his name was Johny Johnson they suddenly wouldn't find him boring.

[@jakob9913]

Bro who even watches Schaub's videos

[@abde4645]

That's a good point

[@mcdonalchee]

I reckon prime McGregor chins volk too easily, Holloway on the other hand would destroy McGregor with his volume in a five rounder. Ilia vs Conor is close tho

[@cratos900]

Why you underselling Topuria every time? Cgregor will be ragdolled by Topuria in every weight. Not in boxing is another story

[@tucsonmaui]

My TOP 10 All-time favorite fighters: 1) Anderson Silva 2) GSP 3) Lyoto Machida 4) Charles Oliveira 5) Jose Aldo 6) Alex Pereira 7) Max Holloway 8) Mighty Mouse 9) Jon jones 10) khabib

[@Polar-pencil]

Tf Charles is doing at 4 guy had 11 losses defended the belt only one time

[@EveK-North]

GSP beats anyone at WW 8 times out of 10.

[@CRT4Dummies]

not matt hughes. or shavkat.

[@Nick-ps3mg]

Funny thing about Aspinall vs Blaydes 1 was that the best strike of the 15 seconds was a CLEAN left hook by Tom and the UFC doesn't even score it in their stats. Also if you wanna know what's happening in a fight, you can not under any circumstances have Michael Bisping talking while you try to watch it. He was a great fighter but his commentary is BAD

[@ianpierregomes8373]

There is no universe in the multiverse where the Nick Diaz who fought Lawler beats any current fight in the UFC roster.

[@castle4757]

Btw, Tagit Ulanbekov missed weight for the first time.

[@Huzuh.]

He also stepped in short notice, people like to ignore this fact.

[@moonvenerable7897]

This hate is is beyond sport at this point it's getting obvious why Makhachev is hated simply because of his background.

[@LeftLaneMMA]

bro i feel bad for van. he stepped up to fight on short notice for the allen vs curtis card and his opponent pulled out. then summudaerji pulled out, then the taira fight got cancelled, then tagir puled out

[@insuchaway]

There needs to be a Jigglyweight belt give the fans the real deal.

[@ARMY-ep6fz]

GSP schools Leon and submits him. GSP was a very underrated wrestler that didn't have a background in wrestling.

[@burgerking8475]

Insane how he didn’t have a wrestling background. Still the best double leg in MMA

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

Stop regurgitating BS blurb-out by low IQ people. GSP isn't schooling Leon or submitting him. GSP WAS great during his time. And he really was the FIRST ALL-AROUNDER able to get all major skills, in MMA, to be an average level where he could defeat almost every specialist, even if the fight should tilt in favor of one specialist or another, for good stretches of time ---- such as Islam doing stand-up with Dustin for 5 rounds and, while NOT as elite in pure boxing, he's holding his own ---- but ZERO of the fighters GSP defeated was ever going to beat Leon or Usman or Shavkat or JDM.

[@nasmcgrady4165]

He was a decision machine who didn’t even try to finish fights he wouldn’t finish leon

[@kenmoraes6843]

Like Theweasle said, Usman and Leon have the best chances of beating prime Gsp. Leon has underrated grappling I would say Leon defends takedowns and beats Gsp.

[@CRT4Dummies]

​@@kenmoraes6843even if leon defends all the takedowns (which he wont) he still isnt leading the dance against gsp. gsp by decision more often than not

[@effenstein245]

I didn't know I would be getting amazing life advice from Tha Great Weasle! I have been wanting to hear this from someone for so long to state the obvious things that I feel like almost everyone is missing on.

[@keithsavoie6943]

Face cam for anything live. I always find it better when I can see the persons reactions to the kos and stuff like that.

[@vanveenervart436]

Joshua Van decided to forgo the opportunity to fight Tagir 4 pounds over the limit so he should not in fact receive payment for that> Tagir forfeited 30 percent of his purse as per the rules but he still showed up. He did not in fact "pull out".

[@cuongle7990]

What? So you think Van should've fought his overweight opponents and risked getting beat up for 30%? It's not worth it considering the potential damages to his health plus the time and cost of recovery after such a fight.

[@martinstoyanov5180]

It doesn't matter who refused the fight. One fighter was on weight and one wasnt. It is the fault of the one not making weight that the fight doesn't proceed.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

You're out of your little mind, if you think these serious UFC fighters --- who come close to dropping from exhaustion, making that LAST POUND ---- should fight a guy who is a few inches taller and tens of pounds, naturally, bigger than they are who are not willing, OR NOT ABLE, to at least shed those last 3-5 pounds. Those are the last few pounds that MAKE OR BREAK guys who have nothing else left, in liquids, in their bodies. Tagir is TALLER than Joe Rogan, on a recent interview I saw of him, after he defeated some guy and was interviewed by Joe in the octagon. I don't think Joe Rogan's 5'6" or 5'5" like Joshua Van; I think Rogan is put as 5'8" or 5'9"... so that means Tagir is likely 5'9" or taller, not the 5'7" he's put as. THAT MEANS he's just too big to comfortably cut down to 125, to fight the naturally shorter and smaller guys like Van et al. He should move up to 135... especialy if he's missed a few times before, trying to make 125lb...

[@micahasher7600]

Whittaker: former champion, loses to dricus & beats costa - no title shot Strickland: former champion loses to dricus & beats costa - next in line Wtf

[@adriantheambulance591]

getting KOED vs getting robbed (imo), and being a champion this year vs being a champion 6 years ago

[@cyrilusly]

Here a question Weasle.. Mc Gregor vs Floyd 1. Certainly looked like mc won at least the first round rd if not first 2 why did score cards show Floyd every round?? ..

[@Dagger_G]

Watching Canelo vs Munguia got me thinking: With the (relatively) stationary defensive plodding style of Canelo, how do you think MVP would fare against him? He's had a few boxing/bareknuckle matches before and the elusive karate style still seems to be effective. Would he be able to crack that shell or would the fundamentals win out in the end?

[@Stmpjmpr01]

I wonder if Khamzat is just so freaked out after his bout with Covid that as soon as he gets sick he freaks out.
