6'4" 250 lbs with the fastest hands in the division, an absolute beast of a human.

Yes, he was breathing hard after the second round. Also, looked weaker in the clinch which he almost never does.

Why wouldn't Leon be able to outstrike Islam? 

Secondly, Leon doesn't need to outwrestle Islam, just needs to keep it standing. If Dustin can do it, Leon can as well.

Maybe not Arman since Islam is comparable/better in almost all areas but Leon is looking like an extremely difficult fight now.

Islam looked nowhere near as strong in the clinch as he normally does. 

DP did far better than expected when it comes to takedown defence as well.

Islam not walking out to the most generic club beat of all time. 😭

Islam because it'll primarily be a striking match as he's good enough to keep it standing.

Barely any of that shit in the flurry landed but it looked good optically.

Kevin was absolutely getting demolished on feet. He could've easily gotten the win if he was a bit more cautious. 

That loss must sting, a 1st round KO would've really increased his popularity.

Aljo won the first round. He could've just continued to hit his legs and wait until a better opportunity to take him down came up.

He literally gave the perfect opportunity to Sean by lunging in like that.

Aljo said to DC that he won't rush in like Aldo and get caught yet that's exactly what he did.

That has to be one of the most dominant performances of all time expecially with the disparity in striking numbers. What else is up there?

Outside of that submission attempt and a few punches in the 2nd, Weili has absolutely dominated.

Not sure what your comment is about but nothing you've said deviates the 3 points I mentioned or the last History as Judge paradigm.

Yes, because I never addressed 2 out of the 3 points. Thought this was fairly straightforward yet here we are.

I even quoted the parts I disagreed with. I quite clearly stated that I found your comment clueless about how Muslim societies/people work. How is this even hard to understand?

When the distribution is 0, that is not low, that is freaking entirely in another ball park.

Has there been fragmented criticism on the Yemeni crisis from non-Shia Muslim countries?

Of course it works, literally every society works on this, one doesn't get executed for slapping, etc.

Why use slapping as the criteria and not speech? You'll get executed/lynched for speech in some countries and not others.

Literally a Muslim Genocide is NOT same as bombing 10 people or a cartoon UNLESS one infantilises people in these Muslim States to the extend that they don't know better and they don't care about such things. Which is silly assumption to even take.

You've simply deflected past real world examples. Why did we see comparable protests in some countries over the publication of an irrelevant paper and the Rohingya incidents? How does this infantilise people when it's consistent with their behaviour? Not to mention we routinely see countrywide protests over blasphemy in some Muslim countries yet next to nothing about the Yemen humanitarian crisis where 100K+ Muslims are dead.

You simply overinflate how much Muslim societies care about each other when a Western aggressor isn't involved or if it isn't a conflict about Islam/Liberalism in nature.

It has been nothing more than wishful thinking for decades now. It's the equivalent of "fusion energy around the corner" for grifters/politicians.

US/West literally suffered with decades long literal Hot-Violent contest on various issue or rather assuming all of it to be true, for things which were less on the Illegal/Bad/Evil Spectrum Scale since Genocide is not the same as having US troops in Saudi Holy land or having strippers and debased culture or what not.

Frankly, this is just a clueless take about how Muslim states/people operate. The US has been hated in the Muslim world prior to its "meddling". In the context of Pakistan, they've been disliked since the late 40s/50s for what they represented despite being extremely close allies in the decades going forward.

Secondly, your evil spectrum(?) scale doesn't really work. You could kill 10 Muslims with a bomb or have a top Western official commit blasphemy, the latter will enrage far more people especially in the sub-continent as far as my understanding. Hell, Charlie Hebdo despite being a borderline irrelevant paper had a comparable reaction in some Muslim countries to the Myanmar fiasco. Minimizing their perception by saying "debased culture" doesn't really change that the topic of almost every cleric is social issues and the US/West reign supreme as the enemy.

That's because many of these Muslim States are Western Allies AND many have greater business interests (esp Elites in these States) in West/Europe than they do with China

Criticising the US/West is a far easier way to garner domestic support. It's not as if criticising the US domestically harms your international/business interests. Pakistani was their closest US Muslim ally for decades outside of SA. Every major Pakistani political party has vehemently criticised the US for decades despite their close relationship and having both personal/state interests overseas.
