MMA Passion
Beneil did much more than khabib
THESE MUSLIM HATERS WANT TO SEE ONE MUSLIM BROTHER AGAINST ANOTHER. PATHETIC AND DISGUSTING!
Stop empowering females.
Can't stand female analysts. Remove them.
MMA community failed Makahchev after UFC 284. He has beaten 2 champs in 3 months. No 1 and No 3 P4P…. Stil remains on 2 P4P
Usman OR Edwards would smash Islam at 170.
Baniel,Olivera and Alex,all deserve a shot at the title with Islam…it’s for UFC to decide i guess…Alex vs Islam would be the most fun,that’s a no brainer!
Volk #1
This blonde woman being a media woman for the UFC is a really a blessing for her you look at her and see a cosmetologist but shes beyond that lucky lady media lady for one the greatest sports in the world
Volk rematch
POUND FOR POUND KING İSLAM MAKHACHEV.
He should fight adriano martins test the chicken chin again
He should fight adriano martins test the chicken chin again
obviously whoever wins in the charles vs beneil fight should be the next guy to fight islam, then dustin can fight the winner of fiziev and gaethje, then the winner of that gets the next title shot
What’s next? 2 year Suspension!
I doubt Islam would ever move up
rematch with Volk is next
Islam is not safe, Alex exposed him really, fighters will be itching to have a go
Islam vs usman/leon winner.
Definitely proved you can hold a guy down and win a fight!
Dariush
burger and coke is next
😕
Let Islam rematch agains Alexander. But Alexander volk need to face ahmed syahrukyan first.
Dariush vs Islam.
Do like Volk…get up in weight to prove he is p4p ???
the real top contenders are arman, guram, rafael, and benail. if you say dustin then you a casual
Dariush already deserves it
Why do they get to pick and choose rematches when other fighters are active and fighting for a shot. There's too much choice in the fights there needs to be a better system and player shouldn't be able to duck fighters to pad their stats.
Islam break alex and charles winning streak also end beneil winning streak. Islam fought tough fighters.
His extremely arrogant fanbase will continue to say he won easily
Anthony Smith is the worst! I used to love him till I realized he sucks and has such a cocky attitude. All he does is lose. He loses and acts like he was winning the whole fight. Glover killed his soul. Last dude took his ankle. Next guy ends his career. He's just a hater and not realistic
He didn't beat Volk yet
Rematch
Anything but a slot as #1 p4p fighter. That is not how #1 p4p fighter looks,especially against the smaller guy
Gilbert Burns is enough for Walter weight Islam
My plan :
Islam vs darius on augst.
Islam vs volka on jan 2024
Move up to welterweight.
michael chandler next
Conor McGregor vs Islam Makhachev
Funny when everyone was avoiding Islam for years… no presenter was saying he should get shot like benil?
Everyone wants to beat Islam… I don't believe anyone will. P4P rest in his hands until he retires. Like the great Eagle
How dariush number 4
Islam would never fight with Usman. They are like brothers.
