This is why people rightly say you hate Alex, a positive opinion for EVERYONE except Alex.
I mean obviously. The video is about HOT takes. Pereira is the most loved fighter in the ufc and is infallible to the community
Lol its pretty obvious he's butthurt Alex beat his guy 3x
@@doglog3934 he lost the most recent fight though and that's the most important one and also the first fight in kickboxing was a robbery 😂😂
@@doglog3934He got brutally slept and mocked in front of his crying wife and kids in the last one though.
@@Arkus123 isn't Izzy the one who refused another fight with him?
bros mad that pereira is the real BAD MAN of the ufc😹🙏
It's DDP

@@azeemsyed8550so? Izzy lost to rank 6 periera and Strickland. Doesn’t mean Izzy’s bad just meant the lower ranked guy is actually pretty good

A prime, active Jon couldn't Smoke reyes and Santos.
Nope 😂😂😂 stylistically both of those guys would always be hard matchups for Jones because they aren't midgets and have good boxing and takedown defense.
And SMITH 😂😂😂😂😂
Reyes and santos will kill Islam in just 2 or 3 rounds
U know that right ??

Dricus winning against Khamzat being a hot take is WILD. People are really sleeping on DDP man...
Dricus is gonna blitz with his hips squared and get taken down easily and submitted
@@vuhmie "easily" sure LMAO
Hot take: Umar gettin a title shot is valid after this win, it’s like if ikram aliskerov 50-45ed rob whittaker in their fight think bout it 🧏🏿♂️
Aliskerov would be more deserving taking into account that he took the fight on short notice
And even then Whittaker wasnt the number 2 contender
Rob also took the fight on short notice. For context both had a training to fight two different fighters but both of their fighters pulled out so they were both scheduled to fight each other.
Facts
No it’s not. Whitaker was a champ. Sandhagen never even fought for a title.
Topuria is the best boxer in UFC history but saying he's the best striker is INSANE
I don't see Topuria throwing elite head kicks, flying knees and elbowing mfs
Why does he need to throw head kicks and knees? Well rounded ≠ best. Volk and Max have amazing kicks and Topuria slept them
@@frenzy7666 because thats what striking is... Pereira is the best striker right now
@@revert5651 Pereira funny enough sparred with Ilia according to a dagestani coach and the Coach said Ilia HURT alex in sparring LMFAOOOO
Ilia>>>>>>>>Alex
sorry but its the truth
this is so impressive because of the massive weight difference and height and reach difference
@@dmx7329That sounds so false dude
@@apl8833 look it up yourself....and you can't really call bias because it was a dagestani coach that said it not a georgian one or anything
Kenny and 1 other youtuber are the only youtubers are genuinely wait to upload, keep up the hustle black man kenny
whose the other youtuber
can just tell without even watching this video will be talked about for months
Islam cannot beat khamzat
Fr, Islam got taken down by 22 yo Arman, Khamzat would eat Islam alive
There in 2 completely different divisions, I don’t know why he even made that comparison. There’s a reason people get weighed in. Khamzat moved to 185 because 170 was a big weight cut for him. I would hope that Khamzat beats Islam.
I don’t think he can even beat fluffy
Islam: Charles, Volk, Volk, Poirier
Merab: Suga, Yan, Cejudo, Aldo
Islams resume is better
huh??? are you delusional No it ain't LMFAOOO
Merabs is way better
Cejudo is a GOLD MEDALIST wrestler who beat the GOAT DJ
and what merab did to him was BRUTAL mainly as a major wrestler like cejudo is
Aldo is another Goat in his division
and Yan and Suga are one of the best strikers in UFC history mainly one of the best snipers
Charles might be good at submissions but RDA and Gilbert burns are better at that
and Volks best wins were Max holloway 3 times lmfao
WHO THE F is poirier even hHAHA
Merab>>>>>>>Islam
Maturing is realizing Islam mauls Pereira
How?
He's muslim and dagestani so he's automatically better than everyone regardless of weight classes @insert_name_here358
In your dream
Islam mauls pereira
Not even debatable tbh. Coping idiots will think otherwise
Facts, don’t let these casuals tell you otherwise. He used to wrestle bears as a kid, how could he lose?
Bro, that Merab vs Moreas fight was no where near one-sided 😂
pretty sure merab nearly got brutally KO'd in the first round as well
When Kenny uploads it’s a good day
These are actually solid takes if you explain them to casuals. Also, Tom being above Pantojo is ludicrous. You just have to recognise that Pantoja is a dominant champion and Tom is a new heavy weight interim champ, which means that he has beaten lesser competition.
I’m a new fan, you would have to be feeding this video to a real casual for them to believe any of this. Alex Pereira would demolish Islam.. Khamzat would demolish him also. Why he even brought it up is wild to me, they get weighed in for a reason. Sometimes I think he makes these videos just to get clicks. He makes the same kind of videos as Lucas and Bedtime, same thumbnail and ideas. Just without the actual knowledge of anything. I’m new and I can see it..
@loganpinner5212 that's not realistic but the rest are true.
Flyweights or Heavyweight don't get ranked high on p4p cause p4p is looked as how sucesfull would you be if you went up a class and down a class, and people at the end can go in just one direction
Islam doesnt beat Khamzat bru...
Khamzat would literally eat Islam alive, Islam struggled with arman & Khamzat ragdolled arman for 15 mins
@@RealYousufKhan.2610 Khamzat and Arman have never fought.. there a whole division apart right? I’m new to MMA but I don’t think they’ve ever fought or will. Comparing dudes in 2 different divisions is pointless to me. They weigh people in for a reason.
@ they have grappled before, watch the video

@@loganpinner5212 bruh just get away, u know nothing fr
swap belal with ddp making the lb for lb list go Islam, ilia, alex, pantoja, ddp, and then belal and i would say ur pfp ranking is perfect. I just have to put ddp above belal rn bc even tho belal has the crazy win streak and has wiped out so much of his division, ddp just had his first title defense and submitted a VERY good version of izzy and that means so much more for me personally. Hard for me to have belal over him rn. Also on an unrelated note merab has shown interest many times in moving down to 125, he said hes a very small 135er so he could never go up regardless.
You overrate 5 round experience way to much. Reyes had 12 fights before beating Jon Jones. Gus had ~15
kenny actually cooking with the jon take
Hot take: Aspinal is overrated asf!
Let me preference my statement by saying he’s elite, HOWEVER, his wins haven’t aged well. Sergei is on a losing streak and he also lost to a washed up/out of prime Overeem. Blaydes has already gotten slept by Ngannou and Lewis. Wow he beat Arlovski who’s in his mid 40s… the HW division now is so 🗑 compared to what it was 10+ yrs ago. 💯
Completely disagree look at Sergei who lost to volkov and volkov beat Gane who was the top contender of the division don’t tell me Gane won you know it’s a robbery, aspinal is a elite boxer with a grappling base he’s literally the biggest nightmare matchup for jones imaginable what’s jones gonna do? Take him down😂 good look with that 2/10 attempts against Reyes or never taking down santos also getting outboxed in you’re prime by Gus because you extended you’re arms out is horrendous defense jones striking defense is the most overrated thing in his arsenal he will get slept because it’s heavyweight, tom is the English nganou yeah if you ignore the finish with both they’re way less impressive the difference is what would take Francis multiple round Tom does in the first this is a guy who’s quicker than anyone at heavyweight ever and hits as hard as Francis you can’t tell
Me that’s overrated and especially not after the performance volkov put on Gane
What's impressive is how dominant his wins are. He's beating the top guys in his division lol, what else could he do. Not his fault, HW isnt that talented
@doglog3934: It isn’t his fault your right and again he’s obviously elite. Do I think he would have won a title back when Stipe, Cain, JDS, Overeem, Carwin, Mir, DC, Werdum etc etc were in their prime? Yes. However do I think he finishes all those fighters in the 1st round? No not at all. For example, Anderson Silva. Imo a prime Anderson is elite enough to win a title but, do I think he has 10 straight title defenses in a MW division with DDP, Izzy, Whittaker etc? No I don’t…
Volkov win against amazingly tho
@@xavicastorena4739 lol what fighter would you say could finish those heavyweights in a single round? Lol there isn't any. Calling Tom overrated just because he wouldn't be able to achieve something no one can do doesn't make sense
Not even just saying this because it’s Kenny’s comment section but I think Izzy is gonna BUTCHER Imavov bad
Pantoja beats DJ 💯
100% is crazy. Dude struggled against Erceg
@@doglog3934 lol Erceg is better than 90% of DJ's wins😂😂
@@Arkus123not really especially after how easily Kai Kara France kod him. Prime for prime dj probably smoked Pantoja it’s probably super competitive in 2025
Thanks kenny for defending Bilal and kamaru both of them are jams
I like ur take on merab Ngl
Ankalaev sleeps Pereira
Hill sleeps Jiri 9/10 times and was Pereiras most dangerous opponent at LHW
Belal beats everyone at WW
Topuria beats everyone at FW and LW except Makhachev
Topuria carrying the ufc Forreal
Pretty sure the dominant champion that was undefeated at MW for years and is the second best fighter in the whole weight class’ history is Alex’s Best win
@@andregardiner3071 Forgot to specify at LHW
@@neon9481 then you’re still wrong because Jan has a better resume than both of them
@@andregardiner3071 resume isn’t the only consideration here bro. There are differences in stylistic matchups, I think Hill presented a genuinely bigger threat compared to Jan. I am aware of Jans resume and I agree that he has arguably the best resume in LHW right now (Reyes Izzy rockhold etc) but Hill had a serious chance at finishing pereira imo, more of a chance than Jan even ignoring the altitude factor when Jan/Pereira happened
People forget man, islam is as big if not bigger than ikram and ikram is a middle weight, if he bulks a little, he is a real contender
If he was so confident I dont think he'd cut down all the way to LW.
jiri is a fan favorite but yea we gotta be real i've seen 40year old dads who work fulltime in my muay thai classes with better striking fundamentals than him
If it works
Another clear sign of personal Pereira hate, Moraes was not in his prime when he fought Merab, and that fight was not one sided at the slightest
Imagine Khamzat vs Islam at welterweight
if Hamza had the Merab Cardio, i would put my house that he beats everyone in the UFC regardless of the weight class.
how do you think joaquin buckley does against belal stylistically
He will stop belal like goeff neal
Pantoga take - 100% agree. He's in my top 5 p4p: 1 Islam 2 Ilia 3 Alex 4 Dricus 5 Pantoja.
Merab take - Not a bad one. But I have the other three guys above: 1 Islam - Beat Volk №1 P4P two times, beat Oliveira who was №3 P4P, beat Dustin who is top 3-5 lightweight of all time, ( Plus Islam finish all three of them) beat Arman who is a greater threat (even in his debut) than Yan, Aldo, Moraes were leading to their fight against Merab. 2 Ilia - Volk+Max >= Merab wins (finishes edges out for Ilia ) 3 Dricus - He beat number 3-4 middleweight of all time (Whittaker, who barely lost a razor close 3-2 fight with prime Izzy and destroyed the whole devision + beat prime Romero twice ) by finish, then he beat №2 Middleweight of all time Izzy by finish. And Izzy in this fight was PEAK, he was never this good and dangerous ever before& Only Whittaker first fight Izzy is close. Dricus still beat him. And than he dog walk Sean Strickland who 50-45'd Izzy. You can't put Merab resume over these three guys quality wise. May be put Merab number three over Ilia if we consider resume by quantity not quality, still can't surpass Islam and Dricus. Islam resume is best UFC resume of all time in terms of beating p4p guys. Nobody even near him.
Ilia take: Good take, agree on this&
Islam take - Agree on 145/150/170. Low-Mid diffs everybody. 185 Chimaev and Dricus are favorites against Islam in my opinion. Islam still has a decent chances. 205 - he can be in a top 5 and has a chance to become a champ. Has a chance against everybody but I would labeled Big Ank and Pereira as favorites.
Belal take - Belal beats every ranked welterweight in 2025 for sure. Don't sure about 2026 and in 2027 I think his chances to lose randomly to a ranked guy are high in my point of view.
Dricus take - Agree 100%. Only Khamzat has a real chances ( Strickland has a chance to win a robbery split decision but I think we must exclude crazy judges possibility in this type of conversation ). I still believe that Dricus is a slight favorite in this matchup.
Pereira take - It's not a Pereira problem that there're so many former champs in LH, on paper Alex Pereira resume is top 10 best UFC for sure if he beat Big Ank - there's a debate for closing to top 6-5
Jones take - Not a crazy take. Aspinall eating a lot of shots. Pavlovic landed him clean ( even Volkov had better defence ). Blaydes landed a lot. BUT - Jon isn't a KO power fighter. Plus he was EATING PUNCHES FROM STIPE. Everybody with brain who saw how Stipe managed to land his slow motion no speed no power strikes on Jones must have received a hard to except thought to their heads - If it were Aspinall landing or Stipe from second DC fight or even Ngannou 2 fight - Jones would be at max KO'd or getting on his ass rocked consistently or at minimum just destroyed on a feet the same way he got dog walked by Reyes. This version of Stipe wouldn't gas like Reyes so he would beat da shit out Jones for 25 mins, not 2-3 rounds like Reyes. In prime Stipe years everybody knew it. And Aspinall with his crazy power would absolutely KO'd Jones if he was on Stipe's place in these moments. The argument for Jones is tho: He must've felt Stipe lack of speed and power, so he in the fight learned that Stipe can't actually hurt him, that's why he let these moments happened. So having Jones over Aspinall isn't a bad take at all. But I personally think that Aspinall still should be a slight favorite and Tom R1-2 KO is the most possible outcome.
imo Ilia can't be the best striker since he doesn't have diversity in his striking he only has boxing and leg kicks
And those 2 is needed to outstrike anyone that fights him. Versatility does not matter that much when you're too dominant in few aspects.
@@Moneymawk islam beats him due to being able to switch up his striking like using his muay thai and kickboxing
@@Mr.White456 Islam is not beating Ilia at striking, he does not wanna get in a clinch with Ilia trying to use his ''muay thai'', he aint fighting 35 year old Dustin that fought in slow motion, he'll get slept. Islams chance of winning is keeping ilia at bay like Volk was doing in round 1 and also grappling him a lot. Islams kickboxing would be pretty useless against Ilia, watch how Volk was spamming kicks, high, body, leg and 90% of them did nothing because of Ilias defensive ability.
@@Moneymawkit gets too dominant until he gets caught off guard with a headkick like before lol
@ Against a 6’1 Jai who had like 7 inches of reach advantage, he threw the kick in boxing range btw in an instantaneous. That’s never gonna happen again especially not with light weights like Islam who have just as long reach as ilia and are 5’9-5’10.
Topuria isnt the best striker, he just have good boxing and INSANE power. thats why he can compite with people with better and well-rounded striking
Ddp rant was so funny
Man i reallllllllllly want to see your facial expression when aspinall fights jones. I reallllllllllllllly want to see it. I wish I could get into a time machine and see it right now.
Islam losses to Toporia
No.
@@Arkus123 he does LMFAO Ilia will smoke yo boi
Ilia literally according to a dagestani coach himself sparred with perreira and hurt him in the sparring rounds LMFAOOO
he will defend the takedown like volk did and just one shot makachev
@dmx7329 Islam is already ducking illia; in the presser for him vs arman he's saying "He doesn't want to fight a smaller guy" clear duck, a true champion would take the challenge. If full camp volk is able to do such to him, he wants no smoke with full camp illia.
@Basil-g9r lmao Islam knocked P4P number 1 Volk out in a single round who was the greatest featherweight of all time and people said "he only beat a featherweight" and if he does the same to Ilia people will keep saying that so what does he gain??? If Islam moves up to Welterweight to become double champ you think that's easier than Ilia??
@@Basil-g9r so are you going to say he's ducking Charles than as well because he said he wasn't interested in fighting him again lol??? 😂
imagine merab slumps umar 1st round
Can we let this Islam shit happen bro…just let him fight dricus
Dricus will do such bad things to islam😂😂😂
Khamzat beats Islam dude lol
DDP and Khamzat would do unspeakable things to Makhachev; these fighters cut chromosomes and brain cells to make their weight class for good reason, pal.
Islam aint all that, struggled with volk and poirier, hes good but very overrated
Beat Volk 4-1 and Dustin 4-1 but alright especially Dustin, he had one good elbow that cut Islam and round 4, besides that he got demolished the entire fight. Volk only had a good round 5 against Islam, he lost the previous 4 rounds 👍he also Koed Volk on rematch within minutes ''but but he was on short notice'' he looked sharp before the KO, and he already fought Islam, it's not like its an entirely new opponent, a full camp would have only improved his cardio which was pointless since he got finished round 1
beating the pfp #1 4-1 = “struggling with volk”
He's very good, every ATG has struggled across their careers at some point. But what's deluded is thinking Islam could beat the top middleweights lmao. The size and power difference is too huge.
He beats everyone at 145, 155 and 170, bust yeah 185 and periera is definitely a stretch
@@JoeJoe-fq5nc no he did struggle with volk lets not fucking lie 🤣
if he was able to go war w a washed dustin and a 5'4 featherweight
then i don't believe in these
until i actually see it w my own eyes
Hot take: Islam got touched so much by Poirier and Volk, Topuria gonna knock him tf out.
My hot take is that prime Cain Velasquez beats all heavyweights.
Hot take. Belal beats prime GSP…
215 islam will be a grappling monster, he is taller than DC, if he could bulk up that much.
He’s 33 he’s not bulking up 30 jbs in the ladder half of his career. DC has been competing at heavier weight-classes since he was in high school so that’s why DC and not other short/average height fighters are more fit for being short at heavy weight-classes
Islam is the micheal jordan of mma.
Alright buddy, the glazing has gone too far
Thats Jon Jones
thats jon jones put your dagestani goofy ahh galzing to the side lil cornball
Ilia will smoke ya boi
YOU COOKIN KENNNY
we need more dancing intros
bro Islam is getting rocked by little man Volk 😭😭 I genuinely believe a good jab from alex or dricus can put him out, let alone a Khamzat uppercut😭😭 If you don’t want to see Islam die on live tv he needs to remain at 155 and avoid Topuria
Usman gets 50-45’ed by Belal. If Chimaev didn’t break his hand he would’ve finished him.
DDP would have the goofy plot armour over Khamzat probably wins buy using a headlock takedown like he did against whittaker and somehow subs Chimaev
Hot take: Geoff Neal beat makhachev
Nah
Idc how tough DDP is there aint one MW on the roster right now that can stop Khamzat mauling and taking them down! Almost like Khabib yeah you know exactly what he's gonna do but you can't stop it 🤷🏽♂️
Its like everyone forgot how much he struggled against burns and Usman. No one is unbeatable
Khabib literally struggled against Tibau. Imagine what would happen if he moved up against bigger and stronger guys
Alright so Marlon Moraes was already on a losing streak when he fought Merab so that’s a lie he wasn’t in his prime, Merab literally almost got knocked out for half the first round that wasn’t completely one sided another lie and the Jose Aldo fight was Merab just controlling him against the fence that isn’t dominant
12:32 what? Burns was the number 2 ranked 170ib fighter.
Former lightweight fighter tho
Islam beats Khamzat, no doubt. The reason people lose to Khamzat is they can't train for his style, no one can emulate his takedowns in camp. But Islam's team? Different story. Just imagine heavyweight khabib going full pressure on him. He can 100% prepare for that kind of pressure.
Ddp big brothers Islam
Nah it would be a competitive fight kind of like Volk Vs Islam 1 but Islam is in Volks shoes instead and I think Dricus would beat Islam but he would struggle like how Islam struggled with Volk.
@@Arkus123Volk moved up a division. Islam would move up two. FW->LW is 10 ibs Where LW->MW is 30 ibs.
Merab literally lays down on his opponents and doesn’t even look for the finish , 95% of his wins are decisions , he and belal are the same
Alex is a better striker than topuria , topuria just better boxer
@@kerrlonjordan6816 nope Ilia has beaten better competition than Alex just by watching they're fights you can see Ilia is better.
It doesn't matter lol so by your logic GSP isn't a GOAT because he almost never finished anyone???
@@Arkus123 it does matter and that’s the reason people consider jones the goat despite the controversy
@@Arkus123 boxing alone is not striking , it’s just one aspect
It’s crazy yall think Islam can’t beat Pereria, 100% would get a choke on him round 2-3, if Pereria can get controlled by Izzy then…like bro ☠️☠️
I agree but Alex has that killer right hand, so I will say 70-30 for Islam.
Kenny, Islam beats Aspinall and Jones on the same night (Ali Abdelaziz take)
Hernandez, Chimaev, DDP, (and maybe Alex, maybe Strickland) beats Islam from 45-85 in my opinion
Way more than that. The power difference between each division is crazy. Look how well Volk and Porier did againet Islam.
@@doglog3934 you know the weight cut also negatively affects Islam as well right??? The version of Volk who fought Islam is the best version of Volk we've ever seen because Volk wasn't cutting as much weight and was healthier, I guarantee you Islam would look way better if he didn't cut any weight.
@@Arkus123 you know nothing is stopping Islam from not weight cutting right? If he was so much better at let's say, 170, why would he suffer himself into cutting all that weight. It's obviously because he knows he'd struggle against much more powerful fighters. Every mma fan knows they cut weight for easier competition.
@doglog3934 oh really??? No it's not because they cut weight for easier competition it's because every single other fighter is cutting weight which prevents anyone else from fighting at they're natural weight lol and also who at 170lbs would beat Islam according to you??? Ian Garry???
@doglog3934 lol and why doesn't Volk fight at Welterweight anymore??? Volk is a natural Welterweight but he can't fight at 170lbs because the people up there are all natural middleweights cutting down to 170lbs.
Ddp rannt was so funny
Alex resume is better than Izzy’s
JONES will smoke ASPINALL for sure 👌👌
I agree with Pantoja being a minimum top 5 P4P but why tf is belal there 😂
Aspinall or even DDP is better
Top 10 P4P:
1. Islam
2. Topuria
3. Pereira
4. Pantoja
5. DDP
6. Aspinall
7. Merab
8. Belal
9. Leon
10. Volk
Aspinall is definitely above Belal P4P
I don’t know how you would think Islam beats every 185er and Alex. Your forgetting Islam went life and death with Poirier and Volkanovski. Size Matters.
Lol it's just pure delusion by people who have never fought
Islam aint beating khamzat no way. If so i wanna see.from last events You said that colby beats buckley, Michael chandler beats oliveira,stipe miocic beats jon jones.your predictions sucks. And saying islam wins over khamzat is pure delusion
You buying this bs narrative about Islam being able to beat literally anyone from 155-185 is genuinely hilarious XD literally the most gullible moment OAT
tom will ko him in either rd 1 2 or 3 at best
Kenny, Khamzat would destroy Islam so I disagree with the 185 take. He would submit Islam within the first 2 rounds. The size advantage is crazy and he's a much much better wrestler and grappler.
Like Islam literally struggled to take Dustin down at times. What would happen 30 pounds up against Khamzat?
@@combat_sports_fannot just Khamzat. DDP would maul him and let's not even take into account the other Middleweight fighters. Even a WW Belal would be very tough coming from Khabib himself
@@doglog3934 great points!
@@doglog3934Islam is p4p number one but being p4p number one doesn’t mean you jump up a division and beat everyone yet alone 2 especially 3
Came from live
This has to be rage bait
Pereira beat an up and coming future champion in Sean Strickland
Pereira beat Izzy when he was dominating the division, yeah he got smoked in the second fight.
Pereira beat Jan Blachowicz after Jan had a couple of great fights
Pereira beat Jiri TWICE, Jiri being one of the best contenders by far
Pereira beat Jamahal in humiliatin fashiom
Khalil's fight was his harder bout, but that round 4 felt like he was HIM.
undeserved hate
haven't watched yet but i agree
Dustin Poirier and Volk beat Dricus and Khamzat?
I love Islam, but he gets folded into a pretzel by khamzat and outmuscled by ddp
he gets knocked out by ilia
he heavily struggled against volk in the first fight
got kncoked down at the end even LMFAO and nearly finishbed
@ Volk stylistically is a completely different fighter from ilia. Skill for skill Volk is better than ilia. Also, Islam had 12 hours less time to rehydrate and was at a strength disadvantage. If you want to go down this line, I can also talk about how Bryce Mitchell who’s no where near the grappler that Islam is had nearly 2 minutes of control time over ilia or how ilia got dropped by jai Herbert 💀
@@The.Sultan Volk is worse than ilia in everything....he knocked him out with a single punch something that even Makachev only accomplished with a precise headkicks (kicks>>>>>>>punches this was scientifically proven already)
and yet ilia did it with a casual right hook and outclassed volk in everything
''islam had 12 hours less time to rehydrate'' LMFAOOO are you admitting that he is a weight bully???? hahah
Bryce mitchell is a grappler who put a dear in a headlock and he still the greatest wrestler in the featherweight division
i could also argue how arman who was 2 weeks short notice TOOK down makachev in his DEBUT UFC fight
also you saying Jai herbert dropped Ilia....yes he did...but ilia stood RIGHT back up and knocked him out
Jai herbert landed a PERFECT HEAD KICK while him being a 6'1 Lightweight....just to give you a comparisson Alex perreira is just 3 inches taller than that dude
also Ilia never got KO'd while makachev got KO'd by some random brazilian that isn't even in the UFC anymore
@@dmx7329 Volk was literally piecing ilia up and won the first round before the ko. Are you dumb or did you just not watch the fight?
You either having 0 reading comprehension or just trying to rage bait me. Volk was literally heavier than Islam on fight night. If anything ilia is the weight bully considering he’s a FW walking around at nearly 190.
Bryce Mitchell is not exactly cream of the crop when it comes to grapplers. That dear example also means nothing. Khabib was wrestling with bears when he was kid 😭
Arman is a better pure wrestler than both ilia and Islam. His background is actually in free style wrestling, Islams background is in sambo and judo but has been able to bring his pure wrestling to a decent level.
Ilia didn’t stand right back up, bro dived at his legs so he had time to recover
Islam is 4 inches taller than ilia and has shown to have good head kicks. You just gave me another reason for why Islam beats ilia.
The Islam ko was also flukey as hell and arguably an early stoppage
Bro thinks islam beats izzy. Youve heard it from his mouth boys. Lets pack up . He cant take it back
I think if islam cut down to 145 he would get knocked out
I definitely think islam has a better resume than merab but I do think merab has the best bw resume ever I also think merab is the bw goat already if he beats Umar it will be undeniable brotha
Ya no. Islam stands no chance against khamzat at 185
did you see when arman got destroyed by khamzat easily
Kenny- "I don't hate Pereira i like Pereira" gives all champions a complimentary hot take except for Pereira Pereira is the only champion in this video who gets critical or u unflattering hot take 😂 bruh you can't make this shit up this it top tier gaslighting always trashes on Pereira little bit but always says he like him
😭 Islam Makhachev had wars with Dustin Poirier and Alexander Volkanovski, there is no way he can beat everyone at 145-185 and Alex Pereira. Topuria can knock him out for sure 50/50 fight, at 170 he struggles with Belal and Usman, maybe Buckley if he gets him on the feet quick, and at 185 he loses to Khamzat for sure (look at his wrestling with Arman who is similar size and similar wrestling skill to Islam, he destroyed him), Dricus is way bigger and has the skills to beat him, Strickland has great scrambling and tdd and can strike with him. Don’t even think about Pereira, he knocks Islam out cold. Hes a lightweight stop being unrealistic.
Merab take is pure delusion
Merab take is horrible. Merab beating Cejudo and aldo isn’t the same as DJ or Max doing it. jones clearly has a better resume and Islam beat volk, Oliveira, Dustin and a few other ranked wins(when they were ranked)
aldo and Cejudo are 35-36 years old when they fought merab
in this current generation due to science this is still consdiered prime age...while at the end of their prime it still is prime age only at 37 are you really decreasing in athleticism (look at alex perreira he is 39 now and jon jones is 38 now)
Jones doesn't have a better resume because his opposition was TRASH compared to merabs and he was on PEDS which was never proven in merabs case
none of them are Better than cejudo a GOLD medalist wrestler who got OUT mexicaned by merab and outwrestled like that
CEJUDO the same guy that BEAT the GOAT DJ
and Aldo the GOAT of his own division
those 2 wins are more worth than nearly all of jones wins ever
Makachev never faced volk at 145 only at 155 which isn't his weight class
and Aldo in bantamweight is the BEST aldo
comapred to the featherweight one
if merab wins this and goes down to beat pantoja he is 100% the goat no question
Islam
Might be the goat 🤷♂️
Arman'll smash Makhachev at 155 pounds/ Ian , Shavkat , Leon will beat him
If Islam Bulks up I think he has a chance against Leon shavkat and Ian. Infact I might favor Islam against Leon and Ian but I still think shavkat, Buckley, Brady and JDM would be really hard for Islam
Did my brother say jones isn’t top 5 p4p?
Yes he isn't top 5 P4P and I know for a fact that the only reason you support Jones is because he looks like you and that's very shallow and scummy that you'll support a wife beater.
This guy is super casual
Ilia beats Islam
big fax
pantoja would’ve bum rushed dj and throw him round, merab 49-46’s Umar and Merab never gets credit for being the bantamweight goat, ilia retires as the goat and beats Islam, islams chin is horrible and at 170 he gets slept by Buckley,jdm,ilia and a prime gsp and prime Usman would’ve slept him, dricus is 2 fights away from becoming the 185 goat and will end 2025 as the goat of 185, Alex beats every 205 fighter and would’ve slept jones in his prime but would loose to current jones and the jones that fought Reyes,santos and smith, Francis nganou is the real heavyweight champion and aspinal winning the undisputed shouldn’t be seen as prestigious as every other heavyweight champs belt besides jones who’s just a fraud and ducked francis for 3 years then went against gane on short notice
I’m gonna double down on the Alex take he beats prime Gus prime dc prime jones and every other all time great at 205, prime Gus is getting knocked out he had really good striking it’s not on Alex’s level he gets slept, prime jones was a striker if the jones that fought dc,Gus,glover, and that big run he went on if that guy fought Alex he would strike with him and he’d get caught he has the worst striking defense that only works if you have a massive reach advantage in this case he doesn’t, dc has a shot at beating Alex though
i smoke kenny

Islam doesnt beat khamzat
