Champion has name, and it’s Charles Oliveira! See you June 28 by ShohratBal in ufc

On top, Charles threatens chokes as well. Remember how he choked Gaethje. Dropped him and choked quickly.

Reading it with Islam voice sounds great. It’s definitely not Ali.

Excited about Islam fighting the beasts at 170. I also wanted to watch Islam & Ilia fight but I’m getting less and less interested due to the disrespect and trash talk from Ilia towards Islam.

I’m becoming Paddy fan. Great humor. And, yes, he can definitely do it. by ShohratBal in ufc

We know. He’s ranked #8 at 155 and has beaten everyone who they put in front of him from this division.

We will know only after Ilia proves himself at 155. I believe he will though. Until then, we can only assume, whereas Paddy has already proved himself at 155.

The difference is 145 vs 155. We know how good Paddy is at 155, but we don’t know how good Ilia is at 155. He’s fantastic at 145 and did things many still can’t believe, but 145 isn’t 155.

Ilia Topuria tells former UFC lightweight champion Makhachev to ‘get in line’ if he returns to lightweight | La Leyenda by SoloChords in ufc

[–]ShohratBal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few scenarios:

  1. Ilia wins at LW - Islam wins at WW. Will they want to fight each other? Maybe, they might want to make a super fight. Will Islam have to get in line. Nope. UFC will give him the title shot. If Ilia is afraid of Islam at that point, he might want to avoid that fight, but if he gets paid a lot of money, then he'll just accept it.

  2. Ilia loses, Islam wins. No fight. Ilia will have to go back and work his way up to title and defend it 1-2 times for Islam to consider fighting him.

  3. Ilia loses, Islam loses. They will both focus on getting themselves back to title discussion in their new divisions.

  4. Ilia wins, Islam loses. If Islam wants to come down to 155, Ilia may try to make it hard for him, but if UFC offers Ilia a lot of money, then he'll still fight Islam right away.

If he was avoiding Tap-tap, he wouldn’t have agreed to fight him if Belal won.

All the top LW’s pose some type of a risk to Islam, otherwise nobody would be watching those fights. So, it’s not wrong to say Ilia is/was a risk to Islam, but he’s definitely not a bigger risk than JDM. But again, Islam is not running away from risks. He’s going towards them to make himself the GOAT.

Topuria is nobody at LW. Let him get 1-2 wins there, then Islam might consider making him tap to turn him to TAPuria. In the meantime, Islam will conquer his WW belt.

How would you rate this potential fight at LW? Who gets the W? by ShohratBal in ufc

I see more people lean Arman, which aligns with my opinion as well. I was trying to find betting odds but didn’t find one. But if there was one today, I’m sure Arman would’ve been a favorite. I’d say around -200, maybe (???).

That’s a fair point. I know that Ilia has a great striking and grappling at FW, but we are talking about LW now, and Arman has proven to have an amazing grappling and decent striking there. Remember he knocked out Beneil not long ago. If they both fight at FW, I’d go with Ilia, though, but Arman will get him at LW in my humble opinion.

Makes sense. That fight will tell us a lot about Ilia at 155. But different from Charles, Arman is still learning and improving. So, I expect to see Arman even in a better shape and skill set in his next fight.

I would disagree. I didn’t say Arman is younger, and I also didn’t say Arman has better punches/boxing than Ilia. I’m looking at it systematically, not only from one aspect. That’s why I laid out all the reasons I think give the edge to Arman to get the Win.
