@WonderbreadMMA People really don’t understand how hard it is to defend a title. Dominating top-level contenders and then submitting them in title defenses like they’re amateurs—which they’re not—is insane.
@Lucioreaal I wholeheartedly believe that if Ian Garry can’t stop Islam, nobody can. He has a significant height and reach advantage, solid TDD, and good striking. Ian blends everything together well. If Islam beats him, he can retire into the sunset.
@MagicM_MMABets If they’d stop giving him favorable matchups. Ilia hasn’t truly been tested yet. Volk isn’t a power striker, Max isn’t a power striker, and Oliveira has a glass jaw.
Ilia doesn’t seem to wanna fight either Movsar or Arman because he knows he’d have a much tougher time against em
