He used Iv! He robbed Volk! Volk definitely didn’t choose to fight Islam on short notice!” *Islam has a win over Arman “Omg he’s ducking Arman cause he’s so scared” *Islam staying at LW “Omg he’s a weight bully prick” *Islam wants to move up to WW “Omg he’s ducking LW competition and he doesn’t deserve WW title” *Islam wants to rest “Omg he’s ducking people so hard rn and he is on a cycle” *Islam wants to stay active “Omg stop trying to pad your record with Poirier!” Islam: -_-

@@zoro8117 I think your in for a shocker. Not saying Mosvar doesn’t have better grappling… but let’s just say he did. This is mma not naga, adcc or ibjff. This is mma. Ilia has way better striking, let alone boxing. Mosvar chain wrestling is good, but his striking is not close to Ilias at all. I’m going to be honest islam was & still is my fav fighter ever since khabib, but ilia is the evolution of the sport. The next generation should you say. A boxer that can box like a boxer, with a canelo style puncher (high guard, heavy on working the body hook, power shots & going for knockout instead of points) Wrestles like a Eastern European (because he was), has jiu jitsu like any else. Muay Thai has seem to been his “weakness”, since he really doesn’t kick a lot (I just think he doesn’t have too), & has been knocked down by a simple Muay Thai fundamental, straight - lead kick. Yes you get caught but ilia needed to control his distance more, instead he crosses it. He’s obviously improved, especially with his fight against Josh, he showed how measured he can be. I think he learned from his fight against jai & realized when he should counter & when not too. Ilia is a real problem I’m praying for anyone who is fighting him, seriously… my condolences to who ever is next in his path. Trust me, I’m biased to grapplers & I like Mosvar, great wrestling in general, good grappler, but his striking isn’t all there & illegal or not, he’s been hurt. As a champ you can’t use these positions/rules as a safety net & pull off a aljo every time. People need to learn from Anthony smith what a real fighter looks like. I just don’t see Mosvar manhandling, ragdolling a other high level grappler who boxes like canelo, while the other doesn’t even look comfortable striking. Would be the best fight in the division so far.

Islam thinks Movsar can win against Topuria. That has to mean something. I hope that fight happens and Topuria gets humbled.

I don't really get why people hate on Islam so much, he's a generational talent that trains and fights hard and has always kept things real
I am very happy that Islam is bound to fasting, the Nobel prize for medicine in 2017 was won by a Japanese about the importance of fasting in health, and Islam is the religion of the health of my body and soul.
Dude I just want more content from Islam and Daggi bois
“This is useless fight for useless belt and nobody gains nothing from this fight”. Exactly. The BMF is stupid gimmick WWE bullshit.
Humble guy. Like him. Professional.
This guy has so much more charisma than clown o Malley . 😂 he deserves more respect and love from the fans
Bro this dude is a great interviewer, keep up the good work brother!
Haters: Islam will only fight 1 time this year in Abu Dhabi booooo Islam wants to be active and fight 3 times. Haters: booooooo he should wait until end of the year and fight real contender 🤣🤣🤣

Before Islam was champion no one was daring to fight him , even now all top contenders want more time to fight him , and yeas bro give Islam new challengers and give him at least 3 fights in a year
Islam couldn't help but smile when he was introduced as the P4P#1 fighter in the world, it means a lot to him. ✊😊👍
Good Job Mike Bohn. Landing interviews with A-Listers and from the way you conducted it (and your recent Khabib interview) you deserve more.
Honestly, I never really thought about Gaethje avoiding Islam by fighting Holloway, but he is smart for doing so. I love Justin but Khabib was insanely dominant on the ground against Gaethje. I think Islam beats him 9 out of 10 times and i fuckin love Justin Gaethje
