[@HiMyNameIsDannny]

Dustin did a lot better than I thought he would. He's clearly improved. He's just been unlucky to always fight a grappler every time he had a title fight (excluding the interim fight with Max). If he wants to continue he should try for the BMF belt. Max would definitely want to rematch him and if Dustin won he can retire with a belt.

Just Don't! Dustin is a warrior but Islam gave him his chance by stranding and striking with him so dustin didn't make that excuse he knew Islam is better in every aspect and don't get me wrong Dustin is the second best lightweight after Islam, i still believe Charles cheated against Dustin when he he had his finger in Dustin's gloves and if rematch happens Dustin would beat him easily he's got so much confidence in take down and grappling defence.
