I would say he has about as much chance as a snowball in hell.

Please MMA gods, if any other fight is to drop off, please make it the Kennedy/Negumereanu fight.
All the other fights are awesome, even that one is pretty watchable.

Its not about what is the better fight...UFC is also marketing and they would much rather save that up and coming guy that is going to fight for the title soon for a Headliner fight....not a fight that is the co main and thrown together on short notice. Thats just not how you maximize your business.
I get you guys wanna see Islam V RDA but from the UFC's standpoint its not the move to add it to this card on short notice.

If Walt Harris can come out and bum rush Spivak why cant Hardy?
I will still take Spivak though.

Not sure who wins in an RDA vs Moicano fight. Maybe RDA because of cardio and size?

Tsarukyan and Moicano would make a lot of sense.
I think it would play out close but I'd edge RDA because I think he would be able to negate the Moicano grappling and have a little better gas tank.

I think they should try and give Islam someone to give him that win to try and help hype the fight for the belt, RDA is the most likely option, But I also like Chandler or Poirer for that . Also it a lot more fun and intresting to see Islam agaist the elite, I don't give 2 **** about him raping middle of the pack fighters, But it not his fault because his fights kept failing through

Poirier sucks against grapplers...Islam would run through him.
I dont understand what else the guy has to prove and why everyone wants him to fight more and more fights to get his title shot. He's going to absolutely run though every name you guys wanna toss out there as "elite" in the division and claim the title. What does beating an inactive RDA prove?
Charles Oliveira got the title fight with his last 2 wins being a washed up Tony Ferguson and bad fight IQ Kevin Lee and he claimed the title.
You guys and the criteria for your deserved title shot are pretty unreasonable.

Sure he might run through them on paper, but maybe he wouldn't or at the very least he'd face adversity. You writing off any elite guy that could face him is ridiculous on the basis that this is MMA, and Islam has lost before.
Having said that, I'm not against Makachev getting a title shot - lengthy yet paper thin streaks have gotten shots before (Mendes beat Guida, Lentz, Elkins and Cody McKenzie to get a crack at Aldo the second time). And it's not like relevant matchups weren't booked for Islam, bad luck happened and he ended up fighting more limited guys in Hooker and Green.

I could care less if you think its ridiculous I said what I said.
With Khabib in his corner hes not losing to any of these guys.

You want to see a guy Fiziev knocked the **** out be his replacement (Moicano)? Would that fight even be at 155? That's not a terrible fight but Moicano has been doing well and I'd rather see him booked with a full camp.
Downvote my previous post into oblivion then by all means. There's lots of good fights still on this card. I repeat: this card doesn't need another MEANINGLESS RDA fight unless its at 170 against Islam.
It would be Islam's best opponent so far and we'd get a different look at him in another division. None of those other fights are even remotely interesting unless it's Moicano at 155.
