I'm pretty sure Islam is going to KO Dustin. Be careful with the sub props guys. He said he has "something special" for Dustin and judging by the training camp they are looking for a KO. I think after this fight people will be calling Islam one of the best strikers in MMA.

Interesting that his sub prop is plus money. Hmmm tempting us to bet that?

I think it's a trap friend. I'd rather play KO at +275. My main parlays have ML and ITD. He might get a sub but from the way Islam and Khabib are talking it sounds like they want a KO just to make a point.

Just play Islam by finish. Both KO/Sub props would make sense, since Islam is levels above DP on the ground and even on the feet Islam has developed very good striking, we've seen Gaethje crack DP with a headkick recently, while Islam cracked Volks chin (who at that point was never knocked out prior in the organization).

Islam's fighting style is to take minimum damage, I think he will clinch, take DP down and choke.

but yes, you never know, maybe another headkick incoming

If Jake Matthews wins it's the second best win of his career after The Leech despite having 12 wins in the UFC.

DP cannot last 25 minutes with Islam. Play the finish and keep it simple people.

I'd love DP to win cuz he's got one of the best lightweight resumes ever without having the undisputed chip. But unless Islam just marches into range like BSD, DPs gonna get mauled.

Idk after watching Dustin’s last fight how anyone could pick him to beat Islam. He was getting taken down pretty easily from a far inferior grappler to Islam. And Islam has way better stand up than Benoit as well. It would take a miracle for Dustin to win. The question is more if Islam is going to ground and pound him or submit him.
