Hooker was Top 10.
Islam is ranked #3.
He’s already 10x more popular than Oliveira on social media.
Everyone is ducking Islam including Charles.
Charles wants to cherrypick a 1-3 LW bum like Conor.

Islam has the benefit of being Khabib’s protege and a proxy for Khabib as well. It gives some closure on the “what-if” question, so it’s a def intriguing fight.
Islam is trying to use Khabib’s clout to get a title-shot. Just sad. Fight Dariush and then go get your title.

how long ago was he top 10 ? 4 years 3 ? not currently and is a 145er now and just lost annnnd nobody knows who Hooker is.Beating Hooker 3 years ago does not warrent a title shot .,Outside this forum NOBODY knows who Islam is They do know who McGregor is/Thats a huge money fight The Islam fight is now not a big money fight and he hasnt beaten anyone in the current top 15 maybe 20 See MMApurists post Or go to the mall and or better yet a sports bar and ask who they heard of Islam or MCgregor id say 20-1 at least in McGregors favor probly 100 out of 100
The Islam/Dariush fight also gives the UFC another chance to headline both guys and push them into the limelight to set up a bigger title fight.
Right now, no one knows or cares who either guy is. It’s not good business to waste a title fight with one guy that’s basically an unknown, imo.

lol Charles is such a scared little bitch he’s saying Islam has to fight Dariush and then someone else to fight him.
Islam (3.9 million) is already more popular than Oliveira (2.7 million), and the Abu Dhabi market is way bigger than Brazil.
im sure u would say that to him in person …show some respect

Ducking? Lol
More like looking for a pay day.
Islam is a nobody in terms of PPV buys.
And before someone puts some twitter numbers up or some other useless metric…nobody in that part of the world buys PPV. So it’s kind of irrelevant in terms of a pay day
Nah he’s ducking.
Saying he wants Islam to fight Dariush so he has time fight Conor (which isn’t going to happen anyway) is one thing.
Saying Islam needs to beat Dariush + someone else to earn a TS against him is straight up ducking.
Damn dude… It’s the forum’s oldest, most violated rule. Don’t say shit about a pro fighter that you wouldn’t say to his face.
You just called a UFC champ a scared little bitch.

Olivera took the long way to the title. Give the man a break. No fighter had a harder road to the championship. What’s next, Usman?
