I hope this happens unless an over-deserving contender emerges. Man… I’m trying to find a list of active win streaks… wtf.
30 minutes later
Well it looks like Beniel Dariush is on an 8 fight win streak. Charlie O was 10 or 11 before his loss. I’m fine with either guy being next. My problem with Beniel Dariush is that I can’t see him holding the title, even if by chance he wins. Ah but then Charlie O is in the same bucket… any guy could bingo his ticket if they can land first.
I thought about making my own joke about spamming Charles x Islam threads by saying “you’re better than that”… but I didn’t like the idea of having to cut and paste that phrase thirty thousand times, or creating 500 threads over the next two years… I just wasn’t sure anyone would find it funny.
I must have watched that video a thousand times over the years. I still don’t understand the kinematics, how does that thing pop STRAIGHT up like that? Like, did Ken step on a teeter totter and flick it up into the air (I would have expected some rotation)? Did Ken kick it (I wouldn’t have expected the STRAIGHT up part).
All I can think is he has some soccer star footwork, got his toes right under the middle of the chair and perfectly placed it to Dana WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING.
Yeah ditto. On paper, Oliviera beats him 100 times out of 100. He has the record # of subs, and the vast majority of those subs are against wrestlers… guys who I’d consider to be better wrestlers than Islam. If they rematch (and I hope they do), I’m still betting on Oliviera. But obviously he’s beatable… if you clip him early, you’ve got 50-50 odds after that.
Not sure why you’re freaking out about me bringing up Oliveria as that was both Islam and Oliveria’s last fight and the KKK that was rallying against Islam in that fight now seems to have scurried away, which is the point of the thread.
You did pick Oliveira in that fight after all the back and forth we had.
Now it looks like you realiize the errors of your ways to ever bank against me or the complete Dagestani takeover in MMA.
You bring up the fact that Volk is smaller but is there anyone you would favor over Islam at LW?
Alex is a great fighter but once Islam gets him down it’s literally game over. Can the little guy power out of the submissions? Only way for Alex is by ko imo. It would look like GSP vs Matt Sera
It probably would have to look like this. Islam can be beat but it will require a lucky punch because his chin is not Khabib level even though his striking is more technical and dangerous.
Alex is the #1 p4p fighter in the world but literally nobody is giving him more than a punchers chance. You even got people saying Oliveira would win the rematch with his punchers chance
Volk’s way better than Matt Serra who is an absolute can in comparison but still managed to beat GSP.
Again fight hasn’t happened yet. And you’re saying the same shit you say over & over Christ can’t you wait ? P4P 1 blablabla he’ll be Volk rinse wash repeat
