@GrizzMMA Shots like Justin's right hand at 0:47 is going to put him on his ass once his youthful granite chin goes. Ilia's striking defense is a major weakness.
@Home_of_Fight Hokit is right in that Alex never fought the boogeyman hardcountering his style, just look what happened to Max the first time he fought someone who had takedown capabilities. Somehow dodged a prime Mendes & Edgar in his FW run.
@jonaniksgiggle Thanks for being sensible, defenses aren't everything but they are important. Every time you show up you have a chance of having a bad night, the real GOATS overcome those nights and find ways to defend their title successfully.
@wandereternal8@CptFluffy25@DovySimuMMA@arielhelwani Holland is there for a measuring stick to see what extreme activity looks like on average. 4.5 Pereira is very active, 6 is average, 7.5 is very low inactivity. I don't know why this gets your panties up in a bunch, Islam is a low activity champion.
@CptFluffy25@DovySimuMMA@arielhelwani There's a cutoff you have to make when calling someone inactive. Every 6.5 vs 7.5 actually is a pretty big difference, fighting 15% less frequent. Holland is there for a measuring stick, the most active guy you could imagine. Fighting every 6 months is average, 7.5 is inactive.
@CptFluffy25@DovySimuMMA@arielhelwani Islam fights every 7.5 months on average. Volk 6.5, Pereira 4.5, Holland 3.4. Islam is an inactive champ, just accept it.
@BigMarcel24 You're mistaken. The arrows have nothing to do with META rankings, they're there to show the difference between old media vs new media rankings.
@CptFluffy25@DovySimuMMA@arielhelwani Nobody would be complaining about Islam being inactive if he had 2 more fights since becoming champ, so yes it is a big gap.
@djgomez5280@DAGESTAN_PR Ilia defensively is nowhere near his offensive game. Once Ilia's granite youthful chin goes he needs to hang them up immediately.
@SICKYDOESMMA Aged doesn't mean they're automatically washed. It just means they're worse than they used to be, with more mileage, worse chin, slower & likely worse cardio. They can still be very good past-prime. I don't fancy Ilia's chances against 2020 Volkanovski.
