Islam reportedly having a tough cut

[El Fernas]

Dude has to nearly kill himself to beat a midget.

He would have done the same for any other opponent at 155lbs.

No conspiracy when there is literally video evidence of them doing it blatantly for khabib and Islam.

Khabib and Gaethje weigh-ins looked the same to me.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

He's been talking about moving up. It'll probably be sooner than later

Then why is Islam at "death's door" for this weight cut if Abu Dhabi will rig it for their favorites? Is it rigged so he bulks even more or what?

What happens if he misses weight?

Does that mean the title would not be on the line if Volk decided to fight..?

Has any top fighter ever missed weight in Abu Dhabi?

Zubaira Tukoghov missed weight and was pulled from the same Abu Dhabi card Islam fought Charles.

You conspiracy theorists are pretty funny scrambling for excuses. In the last 5 years Islam's fought in Boston, Moscow, Canada, Australia, 3x in Vegas, and made weight for all of them, but for some reason when the fight is in Abu Dhabi, he needs some conspiracy to make weight.

And when he says he does want to go up and fight the WW champ, you all cry about that too and say he shouldn't be allowed to do that either. That's right, Islam should be the first champ to have to relinquish his title and start from the bottom in another division.

Dagestan Champion. Not some no name. Has any top guys missed weight in Abu Dhabi? Also letting 1-2lb slide is not as noticeable and still fits within the CT. You're blind if you don't think that khabib weigh in was shady

And Khamzat

Gah. Why would these guys fight anywhere but Abu Dhabi

Top fighters missing weight is not a common occurrence anywhere, not just abu dhabi. You're acting like its a routine thing lol.

You need to find a dictionary and look up the definition of the word "evidence". It doesn't mean what you probably think it means lol.

Oliveira missed weight a billion times, yet he's never accused of being a weight bully. Islam has never missed weight, but the consensus here is that he's a weight bully. This is what we call manufactured consent. There are so many Dagi haters on sherdog that ridiculous claims like this are simply accepted as fact because they're repeated so many times, even though they make absolutely zero sense.

Yeah if someones a weight bully its probably not the guy with a flawless weigh in record and more likely the guy thats missed weight 6 times and cancelled 5 fights.

Weight cutters are worse than picogram users

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Habibi he knew he was over, his face tells the whole story.

Abu Dhabi, more like Abu Dubious.

Video cuts off, but I'm pretty sure Beeb looks up and thanks Allah. Shouldn't he have been thanking the scale guy?

You're being purposely naïve if you don't think weigh-ins in Abu Dhabi are a little different my friend.

I'm disputing that weigh in's are different only for the Dagestani fighters but for nobody else. Claiming that the Dagis miss weight and it gets covered up by Abu Dhabi is a huge claim, it essentially would be the biggest cheating scandal in MMA history and would call into question the integrity of the entire sport. You need proof for that.

 

[Zab3ast]

We're talking about Abu Dhabi.

He's not a cheat

 

[CroCopsLHK]

Is there any concern over either fighter missing weight? Asking for a friend...

They aren't Oliveira. Champs almost never miss weight no matter where they're fighting

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Jesus christ so many people in here trashing a man who has never missed weight for saying he's having a bad cut. Ridiculous
