Media Islam Visibly Distraught Watching Valentina Lose. Why?



I can't help but be a bit mystified by this. 3 years ago he made it clear he did not support women's MMA, so I can't imagine why he would care. Even if he changed his mind, since when is he a fan of Valentina? Perhaps it's because Valentina is ethnically Russian, so he feels comradery with her?

Anyone have any insight on this?

If he was a fan of hers,should he have private messaged you,and let you know?
 
He's not just shocked, he's visibly upset. Being a devout Muslim I seriously doubt he dabbles in gambling, so he didn’t lose a bet. Him being a fan of Valentina is really the only possibility
Also they may have become friends over time,and they both speak russian,its not rocket science. Lol @ the sensationalism of this thread.

No? You're the one over blowing this, not me. I just thought it was interesting and out of character and I wanted to know if anyone had any insight.

It was shocking he was shocked
 
Maybe he was also very perplexed with what just went down. It was honestly a very stupid way to lose the belt. Throw the laziest spinning back kick ever only to get countered with a back take and face crank. In a close fight too. Islam being the calculated fighter probably disaproved.

Negative fight IQ can be upsetting to watch sometimes.

Oh and the russian thing.
 
Would an Avar (I think?) from Dagestan feel that much camaraderie with a Russian from Kyrgyzstan?
 
Probably same as he was with Usman, thought he was winning that easily and couldn’t believe Leon ko-ed him in the fifith out of nowhere. Similar story here… But what I do know, maybe he is in love.

Ya it was disgusting to someone like Islam.

He probably wondered if it was a fix.
 
After his fight with Volks he thought that RNCs do not work, and was mad that a woman could do that better than he did.

Jokes a side, I think it’s a russian thing.

More like he's from Caucasus and she's from Kirghizistan so he feels a small geographical bethren as former USRR country citizen. I'm algerian and I'd feel the same if a Tunisian would compete, I would support the guy even if I don't know him. Something like that is my guess

Why did they make him sit next to Michael Chandler?
