this interim title would be almost as unnecessary as Yairs interim title, when he fought on the same card as Makhachev vs Volkanovski. In fact, it would probably be worse than Yairs title, because Islam could likely return before ramadan in 2025, returning well before 1 year since his previous title defence. The only reason Yairs title somewhat made sense even being on the same card as Makhachev vs Volkanovski was due to Volks previous featherweight title defence taking place in July 2022, and he returned to face Yair after Islam in July 2023, 5 months after the card with Islam vs Alex and Yair vs Emmet for the interim.

Interim title basically means ur consensus #1 contender & you get ppv points. Idk why you guys hate it so much. It’s good for the fighters and really good for casual fans. I barely knew who yair was until he got an interim, then I watched all his old fights prior to the volk fight. I prob wouldn’t have done that w/o an interim.

LW intern fight makes no sense, Islam just said last week that he would have few weeks left . It’s not like he’s fighting in September or anytime soon. There’s no way they will make Intern fight.

Ankalaev hasn’t defeated any one in top 5. And inside top 10 he beat ozdamir and Johnny walker who aren’t particularly the best. So he hasn’t earned a title fight yet.
Magomed needs to beat more contenders before he fights for a title. A draw with Jan, no decision with Walker and then a knockout with against Walker doesn’t warrant a title shot.
Just ignore his wins over oezdemir (who koed Walker) and krylov. Alex Pereira had one ranked win before his middleweight title shot and one win over a ranked lhw before his lhw title shot
@@wow5623 we all know Perreria was fast tracked to a title because of the story line, so that’s not really a valid argument. Honestly I’d give the title shot to Lionheart since that’s a storyline. If Magomed can beat Rakic and travel to the United States than yeah I think he should get the shot.
@@SoCalCarlo1904 He beat four ranked opponents and is the only guy that deserves a shot. Doesn't really matter that you listed Walker as if he's even close to Magomed's best win, he's clearly the hardest matchup for the champion and nobody wants to see another lhw fight for alex besides Magomed.
