I wonder if ring rust is gonna come into play for Mustafaev. Poor guy had so many cancellations these past two years.

Last 4 being all finishes in less than a year.

I don't care who you are, Anything over like 7 wins in a row in the UFC make you a good fighter, Winning in the UFC is hard and to kept doing it without losing is hard

But I do think Islam win streak is one of the weaker 10 fight win streak, Only 2 wins over ranked fighter and both of them kinda have asterisk on them nowaday, Arman Trukian was like 12 when her fought Islam and Hooker is on a 1-4 run, And Islam was the 3rd guy to beat him, Kinda like beating Marlon Moreas at batamweight

that why i'm exited for this one, I alway wanted to see Islam get tested, Charles is going to be tough to beat at least, This fight going to be intersting to see if Islam is the person people making him out to be

A top 5 guy a weight class below who's gonna get smashed by Calvin Kattar, yeah. And YES Hooker IS **** for losing to him. For losing by ******* round 1 KO to a guy with pillow fists who couldn't knock out a kleenex.

https://www.fightmatrix.com/ufc-records/consecutive-wins/


Here a list of fighter who have 8 or more wins in a row, I argue most of their win streak are better then Makhachev, I don’t think Islam is bad, I be ******** to say so, I just think most of the fighter with long wining streak have some all time great  runs beating all time great fighter, Islam have beaten a few good guy, All of  UFC long win streak have done that, Islam haven’t gotten a great win yet like most of them do 

I respect any fighter to win above  8 fights in a row, all of their runs are good runs, I just think Islam win streak compare to other long ones isn’t as good, I think Charles 11 fight win streak has wins over Poirer, Chandler and Gaethje, That  the quality of names most wins streak have in them

Obviously Islam is no slouch. The question is: Is he elite? The Benny fight might have answered that if it happened and this fight almost certainly will unless there's a freak injury or a DQ or some such nonsense. I think the winner of this fight will probably go down as one of the greatest Lightweights ever based both of of the win and whatever resume is built before and after. 

@Duck thanks for the link. I agree 10 consecutive is a good sign, but Islam's current resume is one of the weaker ones on the list. I won't hold that against him too much because most of the other fighters on this list are champs.

is he elite?

he ran through dober, moises, hooker, green all in less than year

all those guys are top 15-top 25 level



sometimes it just matters how you take care of business. everybody went ghosted and ran(tony,beneil) from the mauling so real men had to take the fight. he handled them like how a champ would handle the top 15 gatekeepers

I think win or lose Olives has already cemented himself as one of the greatest lightweights ever, and if he wins you could reasonably call him the lightweight goat imo

just like javid in his ufc debut

everyone called him a fraud because his level of comp

he smashed every opponent. its not like he was getting dropped or losing rounds to these guys. like ihor potiera for example. thats a real record fraud

i knew javid was a beast after the contender fight. 

and i made money on both of his ufc fights. he is still undervalued because of this casual ass narrative

Darriush got injured and was still campaigning to fight Islam when he got better, so I don't think it's fair to say he ran from Islam. And while the guys you mentioned are all good none are even close to Oliveira. So when I was saying the question is whether Islam is elite, I meant relative to the division's S tier, not its A tier. But if you think Islam is elite based off of his current wins that's understandable. I'll wait to see what he does against the best of the best first.
