Islam Makhachev reacts to UFC ranking Jon Jones as the No. 1 p4p. "This is bullsh****

[chinarice]

Dude arguably lost to a fighter a weightclass below him 1 fight ago

Islam at number 1 p4p would be ridiculous

Also, p4p is a fantasy term. It is dumb. Really, really dumb

 

[FloydMayweatherMMA]

The only fair thing to do is book Islam vs Jones for the PRIME ENERGY UFCP4PBMF* belt sponsored by Cocaine Bear.

 

[Sauna King]

Volkanovski is better than both

 

[Tweak896]

Islam needs to move to WW and sub Leon with a guillotine in the first round to pass Jones. Hard to ignore his performance.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

He has 1 title defense, a very close decision against a guy from a lower weightclass lol. Deary deary me

Come back to me when he has at least 15 title fights, to talk in Jones terms.

 

[big franklin]

People still questioning Islam's win over Volk?

Y'all gonna stay miserable forever, damn.

 

[kingghidrah]

This is number two bullshit

 

[jackleeb]

Islam couldn't submit volk in round 1.
Islam has no muay thai like jones.

 

[doggo]

Well technically he has a point....

If his fight against Volk was for the p4p no1 spot and he won, how does JBJ get it?

By wining in 2 divisions?

I mean how other way could Jones get it? He isn't going to fight Islam for it right?

That said Fuck Jones and the UFC for pushing him so hard and being as much of a troll as he is.

 

[DoubleTrouble]

Islame failed a test my dude..... so the only thing you can hold on to is "hE dIdNt DuCk FrAnK"-BY

Yeah but he was exonerated as the substance he failed for wasn't a banned substance previously.

Not quite the same as a career cheat who apparently "pulsed" many months after he originally popped.

Try harder

 

[Filter909]

These cavemen with those idiotic beards are so annoying….

Yeah, Lincoln was such a tool.

 

[XociDe]

The Volk fight proved that Islam is not the p4p best. Volk moved UP and showed very clearly that if they were the same size, it wouldn't go well for Islam.

Volk is probably the real p4p #1 but you can't blame anyone for saying it's Jones.

 

[Conan the K-9]

Islam needs to move to WW and sub Leon with a guillotine in the first round to pass Jones. Hard to ignore his performance.

You forgot that he needs to defend his AbuDhabiweight title 13 times before that too…

 

[OldFashion]

He beat him 3-2. That being said, The fresher and more dominant fighter in the last round was Volk

 

[OldFashion]

You forgot that he needs to defend his AbuDhabiweight title 13 times before that too…

He'll probably retire after his next defense just like Khabib.

 

[Tweak896]

Lmao you guys and the Abu Dhabi scale conspiracy.... smh. If they did that it would be one of the most corrupt sports stories of all time. Even worse than Olympic doping because atleast the officials can be ignorant with tests being negative. You're saying UFC officials are gaming the scale for athletes. That is a giant accusation.

 

[Conan the K-9]

He is busy having his retirement fight with his mom, That’s why we have not seen him in the octagon or booked against anyone else.

It’s just a friendly banter from my side.

But when there is smoke, there is fire.

I haven't completely made my mind up either way, but it would take more proof than the youtube scale videos they upload. I mean boxing has matches out there and if this happened it would be on world news.

 

[wolffanghameha]

P4P rankings are the most baloney of all the UFC's rankings, but anyway - Islam has one win against the top echelon of LW and then a win against Volk and then just against guys who are great but not at the very top (eg Hooker, Green, Arman), plus Hooker and Green were on very short notice.

If it's based on the last couple years only and only based on wins/losses (not performance), neither Islam nor Jones are #1. If it's based on further back, then Jones being #1 can make sense, but Islam at #1 couldn't.

 

[Londonjitsu]

Islam isn't even a fighter to Jones.
He would never take the chances and fights Jones has.
None of those people would.
