@MMA_Jester@mmaonpoint Oliveira was nowhere near his prime. He was 37 and his chin had vastly detiororated even tho wrestling does seem to be better. Volk was concussed. Holloway was in his prime true. Emmett was 38 and Bryce was troubling him and has gone down to BW. It is a great resume but overrated
@MMAFanWars Movsar loses to Volk. Arman Ilia is 50-50. Prates aint beating Makhachev. His ground game is not good enough. Umar vs Yan would be intriguing. Would lean Yan. Umar Merab rematch, I would pick Umar.
@RedCorner_MMA Ofc he is not about to beat Zhamalov but Islam looks freakishly strong at 170. I do not think Garry has much of a chance if it comes to grappling.
@virgil35318 Lol what are you talking about. Umar lost 48-47 for the belt and has picked up 2 wins since. He should already be the No.1 contender. Song is 2-2 in his last 4. Way off where Umar is.
@2Jab_1Cross Makhachev but it could be a controversial decision. GSP was susceptible to head kicks which could compound damage. 48-47 or split for Mak.
@JakeGerberMMA Dominating? Terrible commentary made it seem that way as everybody was shocked it was a close fight but dominating is a bizarre thing to say. 5-5 into the 11th. Early stoppage? Yes absolutely. That was disgraceful.
@DovySimuMMA He is a proper lightweight. Do not know y ppl keep talking about size differences. There is a difference between size and height. He weighs 180 by his own camp's admission. Short but dense and stocky.
@QuisqueyanoMMA Rn I agree. However with how fast he has improved over the past 1.5 year and the fact that he just turned 28 is crazy. His grappling looked stagnant for 2 yrs but has hugely improved recently. Even comparing his training videos from 2024 to 2026, its bizarre how much better he is
@MrTestoestrogen Yeah true, its generally overlooked but a lot of ppl do talk about it after he fights lol. Especially his trips. They run on twitter for a week after his fight but thats about it.
@MMAFIXED Amosov would get wrecked on the feet. Their standup is on completely different levels and Amosov's striking offense against Makhachev's striking defense is a horrible mismatch.
@OctagonMMA317@WestTillDeath These topuria fans going crazy lmao. They keep acting as Makhachev fans and always start the sentence with as an Islam fan lol. Real subtle.
@TheRealCobiMMA Would have been intrigued if they were the same size. Rn Makhachev weighs 190 and Topuria 180. I think he would impose size,physicality and strength to take skill out of the equation. Skill wise its 50-50. But with current situation Mak 65-35.
