Well that sucked for Bobby
That was easier than a minor training session. Islam didn’t even break a sweat.
Islam should not get a title fight with this win. Him
And Beneil should still be matched up.

That’s the way she blows. You have to prepare regardless. Look at all the ex champs Jon Jones ran thru with ease.
His biggest struggles (aside from being Jon Jones and drugs and stuff) have come against fighters who never had the belt. Hungry fighters.
It will be the same if he comes back. Fighting Jones is the fight of your life, they want to be the one to get him. For Jones it’s Tuesday.

Manifest destiny, Dagestani style. Told you.
Islam Makhachev - future champ.
Stipe Miocic - most dominant heavyweight in MMA history. DC only beat him due to intentionally perma-maiming him with multiple eyepokes, the fight should have been a NC.
Tim Kennedy - one of the GOAT middleweights, basically beat Romero if not for stoolgate.
Gegard Mousasi - amazing resume.
Josh Thompson - lots of decisions that should have went his way, he beat benson.
Alexander Gustafsson - beat Jones in their first fight.
Dominick Reyes - beat Jones.
Thi…
Of course he could. Conor knows how to deal with regular wrestlers that are smaller than him, but even a small fighter like Chad Mendez can get takedowns via American wrestling. But Conor has NO answer for the Dagestani style of wrestling. Hell, most UFC fighters don't.
And Islam Makhachev would destroy Conor McGregor in a fight. Watch with sound:

Some of these Dagestanis are so good, literally no one in the UFC wants to fight them. Makhach…
Prediction: Dana will make a 165 division just for McGregor, and Khabib will go to 165 and beat McGregor again, becoming a double champ. Islam Makhachev will take the 155 belt and keep it for a while.
For Khabib, that's a big size difference. Tons of fights for Khabib in his division. Remember, Khabib & Usman are actually champs in that they DEFENDS their belt, unlike McGregor who has never once defended a belt.
Khabib has the following options: Ferguson, GSP, McGregor, Gaethje, Felder...plus whoever rises up in the rankings during that time.
Islam Makachev is the future of that division after Khabib retires, which will be soon.
Usman has plenty of fights to keep busy. Masvidal and Colb…
It seems that Khabib and Dana are feuding behind the scenes. Khabib for sure wants to fight, and they can for sure pull the strings necessary to make Tony and Khabib be in the cage when the door closes on fight night. Dana is explicitly denying Khabib the opportunity to fight at UFC 249. P.S. Islam Makhachev beats McGregor easily in a fight.
No one. He’ll be the champ.

Anyone read this bullshit?
Song2:
Totally off topic but that’s a really funny gif. He’s between what looks like an 80lb 4’8" Mexican woman/child, and a taller black guy. Guess which one looks exactly the same size as him?

Anyone see Bobby greens interview on post fight show? He said they are very patient, very strong wrestlers. They make small movements and adjustments while leaving no space for opponent to defend. Then they got u where the want. Real interesting interview. Bobby also said the waiting around before the fight sucked.

You don’t have to. The TLDR is: Across multiple post which I linked above, I told yous alls Islam Makhachev would be the 155lb king over two years ago before anyone on here even knew who he was.
Most people knew that, and 2 years ago most of us knew who he was.
Instead of your predictions, post your bet slips that you obviously made life changing money on from your incredible combat sports insight. Fucking clown.

Nah, 10 in a row gets him pole position. Not his fault he had to fight a guy outside the top 25.

Canello Alvarez is going to be a great boxer.
