islam vs dustin is legend fight
what Islam just did out there was beautiful. it was MMA art in motion.
islam won every round, saying otherwise is just wishful thinking
@@iamfishmind I gave Dustin the 4th based on damage but had 1-3 for Islam
Know the A stands for art, and the motion is kind of a given
@@JALNRSBYBO know that you are a pedant and i wrote this at 3am, it's not a dissertation
Everyone had no idea what madness we'd see with Sean vs Paulo, but in the end, it looked a lot like we shoulda guessed.
i think most of us figured it'd be a boring Strickland decision and thats exactly what we got
Before the fight I said Islam is the best fighter, most technical , Judo, Wrestling, striking (Karate style striking) , moving , timing… Dustin did better than I thought
1:04:01 How many punches a round are Leon Edwards' opponents landing against him though.
"It's not a lot" as Jed would say.
Yeah, he slows down fights down to a halt with his technique and distance management. I think he'll be too long for Islam and has ways to set him up. But who knows, Islam's striking is underrated, and he could use wrestling to get close.
did jed just say Poirier is a bigger star than Islam ??? you got to check the numbers my friend, because In absolutely every way you want to look at it Islam is actually a much bigger star than dustin (which even me was surprised when I checked the numbers)
Poirier 's ppv number even after the two brutal victory over conor when he fought oliviera he did 500k ppv (which is very good numbers but)
Islam after being promoted by khabib for a whole year did 700k ppv against oliviera and 600k against volk...
and than if you want to look at the other numbers like their views in interviews, octagon interviews, post fight press conference, and insta following Islam is a significantly bigger star than Poirier...
the other thing I thought was a terrible take by jed was that Poirier did better against Islam than he did against oliviera.... Did poirier at any point in this fight almost killed Islam like he did oliviera?
Dude poirier was killing oliviera until he started making amateur mistakes and got choked standing up, poirier dropped oliviera 3 times in the first round even tho official they only scored 1 (so clearly a 10-9 round or even a 10-7) for poirier.
Also poirier stuffed all of oliviera' s take down attempts,
Now against Islam poirier did very well he was very competitive, but he arguably didn't win a single round, he also didn't scored any knockdown even hurt Islam like he tmdid to oliviera.
Now against khabib it was a different story...
@@nikobellic9004that’s your opinion, but dustin went 5 rounds with islam and defended several takedowns, when Islam was on Dustin Islam wasn’t heavy, when khabib was on Dustin, khabib was too heavy. And Charles finished Dustin lol there’s no destroying Charles until you actually do it, arman did whoop Charles though, because he out wrestled Charles and out struck Charles, Charles won the first round, but arman won rounds 2 and 3
Islam is a much bigger star than Dustin. Look at the TH-cam interviews for both fighters that are posted at the same time. Islam always has 1.5x the views. These are English interviews.
Look at their socials. Islam has anywhere from 2x to 5x more followers.
@@depthsofhell ur cringe relax
@@Sdot-od8jf only reason islam is bigger is not because of his fighting style, its because of his win streak and he has the belt
AK LOVES. BIG CANS
ON A MAN
Alex Lee is just like Ariel. If he doesnt like a fighter he cant be objective. In Ariel's case its muslim fighters and in Alex's case it's fighters who arent woke. These arent professional journalists.
I fell asleep during the Sean and Costa fight. I woke up during Dustin's walkout though.
Conor never defended his fw belt but it was okay for him to fight the lw belt, right?!
Not saying it’s fair or right because it’s not but Conor was the biggest star they ever had and was making them insane money every single card he was on. So that’s why. You can’t really compare others to that standard until someone comes along with the same status Conor had
No one said it was okay Mr. Strawman. But everyone knows its Conor.
He was also the first to do it, but they have learned since then it just holds up belts and fights.
Conor is looked down on for it by real fans... he will never be top 3 in either division as a result of never defending. he just wasn't that good.
@@William-Morey-Baker Wasn't that good? What do you mean? You mean wasn't good enough to be Top 3 of all time in those two divisions? I agree. Or do you just mean not that good of a fighter? Because that I disagree with. He was a great fighter in his prime. His run was legendary. Two belts is legendary too. Not defending takes away from his legacy, as does his often choice match-ups. Still, he was a great/elite fighter at his peak.
It was 4-0 going into 5, for Islam, there’s not really any case to be made otherwise. I like Dustin a lot, but he seemed to feel the same way after the fight knowing he needed a finish in round 5 to win. When a fighter performs better than we expected that doesn’t mean he actually won any rounds.
Thank you for legitimate speculative journalism on a legend of our sport. Dustin deserves no less. Please let us not forget his impact and treasured status in this sport going forward. Him and Demetrious are the fighters I'll be telling my grandchildren about.
Casey please stop talking over the people hosting the shows alongside you, it brings nothing if you cant hear what either of you are saying
You don’t talk about the best stache in mma like that
You do when it comes to enjoying the shows, it’s constructive not hate. I just wanna be able to hear what everyone is saying
I had Islam winning every round. Dustin had his moments but Islam did more in every round.
Achieving the greatness with steroids! 😂 Jon will never be
lol poirier getting 25 million? Lol how did you come up with that number jed? Dmt? even conor didn't get that money against nate diaz...
25 million is what conor got payed for the Floyd fight lol after dana took 75% or so of the 90 million payed day he got, conor was still on that old old contract, and he got the better contract just before the khabib fight.
And the khabib fight is actually conor's biggest pay day which not a lot of people know.
poirier and nate both got payed 2 million against conor even if they had the belt when fighting conor at most they would get payed 5 or 7 million at most which is still big money.
Most ufc champion only gets around a 5% cut of the ppv only huge stars like conor, gsp or even khabib get payed a lot more than that.
For example Ronda rosey one time said to tmz her biggest pay was 5 million which is crazy because some her figts generated nears 100 million in revenue for the ufc and (ppv, tickets sells and other stuff).
Explain
Niko, you're just making up numbers. Stop capping.
lol morales already fought Jake Mathews
He did lol, I would put Jake against Kevin Holland honestly
This was my favorite Dustin fight. Great technical skills from both of them. Thanks for the content.
Damn Islam is ridiculously good. Better than Khabib skill for skill
Not one good fight on the prelims. Card was boring af until the main event
I don’t agree with that at all. I think Islam only has wayyy better striking and that’s it. Khabib had better grappling, a better gas tank, was tougher and had better fight IQ
Best analysis on Islam vs Porrier!
Jed said it best!
Why does know one talk about a potential Islam vs shavkat fight at 170 … ?
I wondered that too. That’s a super interesting fight
Yeah
Dustin won zero rounds. Round two was close but he certainly didn't win round 2 or 4 no way.
Asian dude with the horrible take at 6mins
He's Candian.
Islam has defended his title against any lightweight opponents, Once!!!
And that was against the No.4 ranked Dustin. (Which was a war)
Outside of title defences, Charles Olivera is his ONLY career win against anyone in the current top 10 - how is this guy getting GOAT/p4p conversations?
False. He defended 3 times against LWs.
@@PhilSophia-ox7ep you’re wrong here mate, ufc website says: won title vs. Charles, defended vs Volk twice (who is featherweight not ranked in LW) and Dustin once (ranked No.4)
Title shot came after winning vs. Bobby Green.
Take a quick look at the Islam page on the UFC website mate
@@joggle0 Volk made the 155 pound weight so he fought at lightweight…it was a lightweight match…for the lightweight belt…Yall little girlie excuses don’t matter to the MEN.
@@joggle0 The UFC website lists the weight for each fighter, and the division in which the fights took place. Those were all LW fights and Volk didn't weigh in at FW.
Jed’s hate for Leon is an all timer
Anyone else wonder if Islam would have the same energy about going to 170 if Shavkat was champ ?
Jed he is not a bigger star lol. The crying is ridiculous
Biggest disappointment of the night?
What’s up with Alexander Lee always saying my “best friend” we get it you love Mike but legit every show multiple times? It’s getting kind of creepy lmao
none of these guys ever fought a day in their life. Let the fighters talk about fighting
Ok.
@@e.casey.leydon respect for getting in the cage, but I could beat you easily & I have never done mma professionally.
@@FuegoPlaylist i train at CMMA in Gardena, CA. Show up. Bring a mouthguard. Sign a waiver.
@@e.casey.leydon I accept. Give me some time because I have a life too
AK can’t separate politics ever.
Despite Leon having only 15 strikes per round on average. He is the most technical striker in the UFC & his stand up is levels above Islam. If Leon can handle the Nigerian Nightmare, I don’t see a smaller Islam being an issue.
Belal was losing the 1st fight before that eye poke. I believe Leon 49-46 Decision
Makhachev applies more pressure than Usman. Leon likes to pick shots and stand back, fighting at his own pace. That won't happen with Makhachev. Leon is a points fighter
@@bodrulm1 In the 3 fights with Usman. Leon was only able to point fight in the 3rd clash, That’s cause Usman abondoned his regular fighting game plan. Leon was forced to defensive wrestle for 70% of there time in the octagon.
Besides being the most technically sound striker in the UFC, with one of the nastiest switch kicks. Leon also has some of the best defensive wrestling in the UFC. He was officially the first to score a takedown on Usman with that textbook inside trip that Henry Cejudo likes to use.
Leon is also better in the clinch with his kick boxing style, with his taller frame. I see him being able to utilize knees in tight. Islams knee that landed on a 5’9” Poirier ain’t landing on a 6’2” Edwards.
Leon also shutdown a chain wrestler in Colby.
Leon 4th round KO headkick vs Islam!
I wonder if Islam would fight Shavkat at 170 if he becomes champ by the time he moves up … 🤔
Doubt they'd fight eachother. Shavkat looks amazing but he's still unknown in the elite ranks, so we don't know how good he is.
Glad to see Jed giving Edwards a much fairer shout against Makhachev.
Once again, people underrating Edwards, assuming people are miles better and then having to change their mind.
Edwards is a points fighter. No aggression. He'll get controlled, Makhachev will dictate tempo, take him down and finish him
Islam is awesome and deserves all the praise you want to give him. But Dana is right, he's not lb for lb #1, he's a natural 170 (and I'm telling you his cardio will be much better at 170) fighting at 155 and that's fine, you make the weight you are the weight. But you're not lb for lb #1.
Who doesn’t like a nice poll and big cans?
Kevin Holland is the goat of winning 2 fights and losing 2 fights
And getting rich by it.
Is Jed not okay seeing his family?
The story has been Islam's opponent since he won the title fight, and I guess he was fighting fan favorite fighters but I wonder what the story is going to be about when he fights Arman
👍🏽🇦🇺
At some point, Holloway vs Poirier 3 for BMF would be a cool reprise of that belt.
You guys should consider getting hair transplants in Brazil. Better MMA scene, much better food and night life, just as good and probably cheaper hair transplants. 😉
One ⭐ wtf. Sometimes.u guys piss me off
I know, it deserved 0 stars.
1.7 million subs and this is the crap you put out 😴😴😴 doesn’t even have time stamps and it’s 5 hours long those would at least make it reasonable
Damn AK loved him some big cans dirty dog
When does Dana start the Two Guys Slapping Each Other in A Room promotion?
Poirier is p4p #1 in 2nd place, McGregor gonna end p4p #1 Islam inside 1 minute after he demolish Chandler and Dana is correct. Jon is legit p4p #1, he destroyed everyone for so damn long
What in the world
Thought the Gall fight deserved FOTN
And this is like khabib vs AL quinta except DP is better and islam still won he will be way more better now think if the two guys he just beat its amazing
I also love me some big cans AK
Alex Lee sucks
Jed the fact Dana hates Jones and still says p4p1 says it's wht he thinks
Ans obviously he's promoting Jones bc Islam juat fought Jones fight needs promo he's a promoter like yiu gize are just nitpicking no matter what
