Islam IS that dude. Got boo’d by everyone at the lead up and event and was completely unphased. Went in there and faced a much more prepared Dustin since the Khabib fight and dug deep in the 5th and went to higher levels. That ankle swivel takedown and subsequent transition to the D’Arce was a thing of beauty. To me an Islam that faces some adversity and still finishing anyway is a much more dangerous fighter moving forward.

You cannot say he is much better. He was a little better on this night though and deserves to be no.1 but there wasnt much between them and he only just got the win at the end of the fight. If Islam beats Tsarukyan he can start thinking about other belts. He had a very difficult time beating him last time and Tsarukyan has become 2 x as good since them. Islam wants to avoid him but he will have to fight him....... that fight was so close this can become the upset of the year

He is and will become the most well rounded MMA fighter the UFC has seen in a long time. Most casual fans will dislike him but Islam fights for himself not to get fans

Dana White just wants to promote his mythical "undefeated" fighter. True fans know JJ has lost and getting robberies, that he's ducking his way into retirement along with the PEDs and crimes outside the octagon. JJ is not active and is not pfp. PFP is NOT a history lesson.
