    Kamaru hangs out with Khabib. He also trains with islam, Usman, and Umar. Kamaru helped Usman train for his title fight. So I’m sure he’s told Justin to be careful. Remember that Khabib went easy on Justin. Same manager Ali.

    It was really frustrating for Usman, he should not have accepted this fight for only three rounds. Usman is not that kind of fighter to fight in a three rounder like someone against Khamzat. We wanted to see more, it's too easy for Khamzat rn, he hasn't been tested yet in a five round fight, Usman could have been a good test unfortunately we still don't know what Khamzat is capable of in the later rounds..

    i think Gaethje is a way better striker, but the thing is, no matter how skilled you are at striking, you can't have a better pace facing ur opponent with striking without worrying about the takedown and wrestling, that's why in his fight against Khabib, Gaethje lost his pace.

Bc Volk is obviously way more skilled than Gaethje but Volk is considerably smaller in frame and natural weight. That has to mean something. And Gaethje packs something on his shots. I don’t think Volk carries power at 155. Gaethje is way more tactical than people give him credit for. He throws leg kicks from any angle and is a very polished striker. He didn’t fight smart against Charles and against Khabib he just encountered someone superior but you can’t discredit Gaethje. I wholeheartedly will support Islam for the fight but I’m saying hugs stylistically that it’s his toughest fight.

Justin would fight Khabib 2.0 in Islam and get beat as as well and Charles would lose again. Let Islam fight Colby Covington if he wins, that's the fight I want to see. They are similar in size, Islam would be a WW but on the smaller size and Colby is a smaller WW already. Islam to me already proved he deserves big fights, he finishes people, top fighters with dominate fashion. I mean if Colby wins against Leon, Islam would maybe finish him too.

    He did. He beat poirier and he had a great finish on Fiziev while charles was staling and ducking Islam

    No way Charles doesn't deserve a title match after he ducked Islam. It is Islam vs. Justin, one more chance for Justin.

    ​@@henrydieterle3505No, Charles already slept Gaethje and finished the same Poirier who Gaethje finished to get a title shot after already being finished in 2. Gaethje is not skipping Oliveira nor should Oliveira have to rematch him after also finishing Dariush.

    I don’t mind a Olivera vs Islam 2 rematch and Gaethje gets the winner. I feel that it ends a similar way to the Khabib fight,but Justin has dangerous kickboxing offense in his own right also but he doesn’t have have good submission defense
