Islam deserves a title shot now. No need for him to fight Dariush

It’s hard to say, I think it comes down to these 4 scenarios.
-
Extremely close or odd ending and Dustin and Oliveira run it back if Dustin loses. If Oliveira loses, less likely to happen.
-
Islam gets next TS but he was fighting hooker who had less than 4 weeks notice
-
Dariush - 7 fight win streak
-
Gaethje if he beats Chandler- if Chandler wins I don’t see him getting the next TS.

He Needs to Fight for The Belt Next. If Khabib Believes in him this much then you have to believe he’s the real deal.

Id like to see this personally:
-Islam next for shot. Homie won 9 in a row, and out of the 4 in the mix is 2 of 4 who hasn’t gotten a title shot, but is on a longer streak than Benny.
With the 4 remaining I believe : Benny vs Gaethje/Chandler winner( for no.1 spot), loser of Charles/Dustin vs loser of Gaethje/Chandler.
So:
Islam/Charles
Benny/Gaethje no 1 contender
Chandler/Dustin
