If Dustin wins I want Justin to get next. But if Oliveira wins, I'd rather see him matched up against Islam.

How do you give Justin a title shot after one win ? Makes no sense . Everyone in the division is dodging islam he was ready to fight Beneil after rda pulled out but Beneil wants to fight next year ain’t no one waiting for him. Whole year islam been calling out too 10 and everyone avoided him . Paul felder retired rda pulled out Tony Ferguson avoiding him Connors a bum chandler is on a two fight losing streak . Chandler gets one win over hooker and gets a title shot . Islam finished hooker just as easy 3 straight finishes against ranked opponents.

Justin can’t get a title shot after one win he just got slept by khabib Beneil is been inactive islam is on a tear . Chandler sleeps hooker and gets the shot islam did the same where’s the shot . Everyone is dodging him

Justin can easily get a title shot. The ufc isn’t 100% merit based
darieush fought in may lol he isn’t inactive

Not saying he can’t I’m just saying Islam does not have to fight again unless it’s a title shot he literally offered to fight everyone in the 1-8 and no takers . 9 straight wins 3 straight finishes against ranked opps and smoked all of them . If Justin get it’s it’s corny as hell

How do you give Colby a title shot after 1 win and getting TKO the fight before that?
Justin could easily get it.
Now if we're talking about who "deserves" it, that's arguable.

Because the first fight was competitive and Usman lapped the division . He had to wait 3 fights and two years . Usman fought Gilbert Jorge twice . Justin win vs chandler was not dominant as Colby finishing woodsy and dominating the whole fight . You see how long Colby waited to get a rematch they gave him different contenders who were on winning streaks .

The UFC doesn't operate linear. Chandler got a huge contract from the UFC so he was always going to be fast tracked
When Chandler fought Hooker, Hooker was coming off that Dustin war, where Dustin was in danger of losing. Prior to that Hooker was on a win streak
Islam finished Hooker after Chandler KO'd him. Still a great win and could be enough to get him the shot, but the win wasn't as weighted as Chandler's
I don't think it's unfair to have Islam fight Darieush. If everyone's ducking Islam but not Benny, then set it up
Justin has still won 5 out of his last 6 with some good competition in there. He was also coming off that close loss to Dustin so the narrative for the rematch is there
Again, if Islam was given the shot I wouldn't be mad. If Justin was given the shot I wouldn't be mad

Leon still deserved the shot over him at this point. 9 fight win streak and Colby 1 fight plus just got TKO by the champ.
Same **** with Carla deserving it over Zhang.
You acting like we haven't seen this before with the UFC
Does Islam deserves it over Justin? Yeah he does. Doesn't mean it's going to happen. Even Dana had pause on saying Islams next fight would be for the title.

And Colby was sitting out denying fights from Leon, Burns and Masvidal just waiting for a rematch.

Justin has a terrible performance against khabib say what u want it was khabib fastest finish in years . Benny was offered the fight vs Islam and he passed . I’m just tired of hearing islam has not fought too competition when he’s getting dodged by everybody . We see what happens though Dustin vs Charles should be good

Dana straight up said both Islam and chimaev need a win against a top 5 opponent

I think Justin did good against khabib. Justin hit him the hardest out of anyone and dustin got closest to subbing khabib
Those were the two toughest fights for khabib
conor survived and others survived but they never put any damage on khabib outside of michael Johnson

Those shots ain’t phase khabib he emptied his whole tank in round one . His ground game was terrible let him pass in seconds . Both fighters gassed out with Dustin putting everything in the submission . I like Dustin though Hope be beats Charles but they both solid guys

We’re doing MMA math to figure out who deserves a title shot thanks to Dana’s lawless league lol.
But I can see how folks can equate Leon to Islam. Or Colby to Gaethje.
Meanwhile Glover got skipped by Izzy, Carla by Weili.

islam vs dariush is the fight to make as far as khamzat for me, he should be fighting anyone in those 5-9 spots (wonderboy, chiesa, magney or belal) i left out jorge cause hes "injured" and when he beats one of those cause lets be honest he's gonna beat all of them if matched up then he should fight luque or burns because leon should get the next title shot (hes gonna lose that but he deserves it)

Imagine if that lawless league would invest in new fighters gloves, better judging and scoring criteria, better method to determine top contenders, etc versus collecting checks from Venom, ESPN, BT Sports, crypto whatever, Monster, etc.

Uh, what? Usman wildin, that belt is right there for the taking. Don't f it up
On Thursday, Rusen Press posted to Twitter what looked to be a mug shot that included the undefeated fighter. According to Russian outlet TASS, Nurmagomedov and a friend were detained for allegedly running over a police officer at Kaspiysk Airport in Russia. Per the report, Nurmagomedov and Kamal Idrisov were taken into custody at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow.
MMA Fighting’s Shaun Al-Shatti reached out to Bellator MMA on Thursday, who provided a statement on the matter.
“The promotion has been made aware of the situation involving Usman Nurmagomedov and is in the process of gathering information and have no further comment at this time,” the statement read.
According to TASS’s report after speaking to local investigators, police officers at the airport demanded that the driver of a Toyota Camry, which had tinted windows and did not have license numbers, stop near a checkpoint at around 11:30 a.m. The officer was ignored and the vehicle allegedly “sped up over a security barrier running over a police officer.”
The officer sustained injuries, per the report — which also states that a criminal case has been opened by the Russian Investigation Committee.
