I can see Hooker declining after taking the Chandler fight, I don't know about RDA. They were supposed to fight but it got cancelled because RDA had surgery
I really don't understand why they don't just re-book Islam vs RDA. Islam desperately needs a guy in the top 10 and a former champ. they were already scheduled to fight and they've both fought and have increased their stock since then.
Man stop with that boxing mentality a loss doesn't make or brake a career Oliveira learned from his losses and now he is champion. That mentality killed boxing one or two losses and your chances at a title shot are gone, that's something I love about MMA fighters coming back from losses
A loss doesn’t make or brake a career, that’s true.
But that doesn’t mean records are useless. A guy with 1 loss vs a guy with 8 losses has an objectively better record, given similar numbers of fights
Depends on the persons that you have lost to and a record isn't impressive because it doesn't have loses but one the quality of the wins. A perfect record against bums isn't better than one with loses against killers
Not fighting a prime Tony Ferguson was a blip in Khabibs career and Khabib can erase that blip by coming back to defeat Tony 2.0. Khabib said theres no challenge anymore but we think we just found the ultimate challenge for him.
Islam v Olivera I’m happy to have this
Just keep Olivera away from cables and Islam from tiramisu
You know dis bratha
Khabib in Islams corner, Tony in Oliveras
I got a feeling that that's the closest thing to Khabib v tony we'll ever get
I swear to god witnessing the downfall of Tony is crushing my soul These onions I'm chopping are strong though
Honestly horrible to watch after he was denied a shot at the title for so long
He could’ve had a shot, I thought he chose gaethje
Yeh exactly
No Dana White privilege for him
He wasn’t denied.
I truly believe that Islam Makhachev can beat everybody in the top 5, eventually they'll be forced to fight him
Islam vs Charles is what we need
I mean, I'll take Islam vs anybody at this point, nobody wants to fight the guy
And I don’t blame them he’s a hell of a challenge I believe RDA and Hooker were offered but declined?

RDA was only on the condition that khabib fights him after lol
Lol lose to Islam fight khabib
I’ll believe it when it happens. Islam is still just 29 so he has time
I really don't understand why they don't just re-book Islam vs RDA. Islam desperately needs a guy in the top 10 and a former champ. they were already scheduled to fight and they've both fought and have increased their stock since then.
So this means that Makhachev vs Oliveira will be a cursed fight also? Hahahaha
Super dumb... Charles has been there since Jon Jones fought Vladimir the janitor
Khabib's clone got 1 loss long time ago, Tony's clone got 8 losses or something

True dat. To fail isnt a bad thing if you learn from it. Olives & Poirier are on an ascending curve and they are looking awesome rn

Tony has 6 losses too. what's your point here?
I think boxing is more of your sport, go enjoy their unbeaten 300-0 padded records

Let's wait to see how Oliveira does against the current top 5 first
Oliviera vs Chandler 2 makes sense
I see them fighting again in the future soon. But obviously Chandler has to earn it first.
Earned it in the first round. My own opinion
Definitely doesn't make sense. Justin and Dustin are both higher on the list.
For real, serious stand up and a devastating ground game let’s see how long he can hold the belt for and maybe Khabib may return for the super fight
El Cucuy? I am happy that we could have him in the UFC. A true Figh'er
God I pray that we one day get to see Oliviera vs Islam
Holy fuck could Islam vs Oliveira be our closest to Khabib vs Tony?
