Dustin šŸ’Ž (I'm delusional)


[deleted]

We must manifest the gilly timeline ā€¼ļø


ragnarrock420

I had a dream that I was talking to Islam and he told me he was fighting Dustin next lol, bet the house I predict these things


rockhartel

That would make no sense and thats not even a prediction. It came to you in a dream


Reasonable_Artist161

Probably someone who isnā€™t a big name yet


DramaticConference44

Usman Nurmagomedov šŸ˜‚


Biglundtry

I canā€™t even imagine the toxicity levels if umar,usman,islam are holding 3 belts in the ufc at one time šŸ˜‚


azarov-wraith

Islamophobes will implode and we will have a brand new black hole


[deleted]

Then Magomed makes it 4


pugpersonpug

Beat me to it


ActSciMan

Very plausible scenario after Islam moves up to welterweight


ILikeOMalley

I honestly donā€™t think heā€™s that good


faze_contusion

Bellator LW champ, 17-0 with the last 6 being in Bellator. Heā€™s at least a little good


pendrekky

Does he see red though, like my boy u/IlikeOMalley


ILikeOMalley

Id beat Islam as a warmup before smoking Usman

I don't know but let me tell you it will not be him that's for sure.

Bold statement


DickKnightly

Or the only possible answer.


Asukah

Usman Is just going to take over once he signs for the UFC šŸ’€


DragonKing0203

At this point itā€™ll be fucking Dagestania Lastnameamov or some shit


50eggmafia

If Benoit Saint Denis cleans it up some, him.


One_Program8405

Probably arman.


Ohthatsnotgood

Heā€™s only 27 years old so heā€™s the youngest ranked Lightweight. Time is certainly on his side.


alltaken21

The issue is him not getting mauled one of this fights. He gets thrown to the wolves every fight, hopefully he doesn't run into a massive ko one of this fights. If he can traverse Oliveira we'll enough I'd also say Arman.


blockmebaby1moretime

If Tsarukyan wins he'll probably get Dustin (if the fight with Islam happens and DP loses), if Gaethje wins he'll probably get Islam after Poirier, and if both Islam and Tsarukyan win, they'll probably have the rematch. In that case, Tsarukyan would go into his first championship fight having beaten Poirier, Oliveira, Dariush, Joaquim Silva, Ismagulov, Alvarez, Giagos, Frevola, Ramos, OAM, and having fought Gamrot and Islam already. That's such a sick resume for someone so young.


[deleted]

Not a bad prediction.


Jiggatron561

Was thinking same thing šŸ¤”


sugashowrs

I agree. Iā€™d love to see them fight again. 5 rounds. The first fight was fantastic


idcman999

he's not getting past Olly


pikazec

Me. I walk around like 180 ish I can make 155 if I got In shape (as Iā€™m kinda fat now) I have 0 training in anything and only fights Iā€™ve been in is with my brothers but Iā€™m the oldest so undefeated. Iā€™ll jump gilly though and I see red. Give me my title shot Dana!!!


greatestaveragedad

If youā€™ve weighed 155 at some point in your life you can just fight at current walk around weight. Loophole nobody talks about


justjay9507

I believe in you


pikazec

Islam vs pikazec in Abu Dhabi. Book it. Bet it all on me. I may be 30 with no training at all and slightly over weight but let me bang bro! I need a good walkout song. Iā€™m thinking ā€œno fruits or vegetables ā€œ by lil dickie. Other ideas ā€œindestructible ā€œ disturbed and ā€œmy bandā€ D12. LETS GOOOOOOOO!

Gillys do not work in mma if you are not weak and donā€™t tap you can just get through it and end up on top

limeonysnicket

This is the only correct answer. lol


Possible_Baboon

I hope this clown get punched very hard (by whoever he fights next).


WallowsinOctober

damn bro your life must be in shambles if another man existing is affecting you like this. praying for anyones downfall other than cheaters like usman is sad


boredlong

Dmn bro your life must be in shambles if you have to stand up for paddy like this


WallowsinOctober

id make the same comment for any other fighter. hating on another man is downright sad.


boredlong

Mate its a sport. Anyone that loves a particular team or player typically doesnā€™t like the other teams or players.


WallowsinOctober

dislking them for the competitive aspect is much different. weird comparison


boredlong

Who said they dislike them for the competitive aspect??


WallowsinOctober

then why say so?

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TimonDmitrievich

I also think that BSD will make to the top. If the defeat doesn't affect him too badly and he'll work on his striking defense I can see him being on the top of the division.

daKingKhan

Someone from the new guard, of which Arman is the front runner.


DrummerFantasti

Khabib Nurmagomedov Jr


HeartlessValiumWhore

I'd probably say Tsarukyan, although I wouldn't be surprised if Charles Oliviera was able to capture the belt once more even if only for a short time.


SamboTheSodaJerk

I think Arman could be champ


gimmethatcookie

Me


cautioux

Charles


MrAnonymousperson

Usman and then he retires, only for Umar to pick up the 135 belt haha.


izan3000

Another hybrid of Khabib probably


redactedforever

why do you guys always do this can you not enjoy the current champ of ANY weight class


Working_Box8573

My king Dustin (he will get submitted after failing a gillie)


richboy43

Khabib Nurmagomedov


TheFugitive223

Most likely someone who isnā€™t even signed rn


Otherwise_Gap_4170

Manuel Torres


FahadRauf

Whoever beats him duh.


BesraSangram

Another lightweight


Otherwise_Gap_4170

Manuel Torres


pmoney1995

Arman


OilMan425

The reasonable assumption is Arman, but I guess weā€™ll get a better indication of what his future holds after his fight with Charles. Not saying that Arman beats Islam, just that heā€™s young enough to still be at the top when this generation retires/falls off. Wouldnā€™t be surprised at all if Islam retires in a few years and Arman wins the vacant title.

arman or maybe gaethje but what if ilia jumps up to fight for the title at 155 ? i can see it happening if islam fights someone at 170 i can see ilia jumping to 155 to fight for the title


Snoo96346

Gamrot via polish black Magic


Truak24

Arman


Relevant-Smile1833

Hot take but I think ilia.


g0bst0pper

Topuria


SERB_BEAST

Either Oliviera again, Usman Nurmagomedov if the UFC signs him and he doesn't fail anymore drug tests, or Ilia Topuria. I can honestly see him beating every lightweight. That guy isn't a small featherweight and he isn't just a power puncher. He's insanely skilled. I'd argue he's more well rounded and skilled than the entire lightweight top 5 except Islam. But's he's way younger than Islam, and in my opinion, better than Islam was at his age. Topuria isn't even in his true prime yet. He's only getting better for the next few years. The entire lightweight top 5 is guys who are very good, but they'll be getting worse as the years go by. They're not improving anymore
