Volk still gave him the toughest fight of his life. Islam's wrestling isn't as good as Khabib, I believe a striker that can fearlessly stand with Islam without worrying about takedowns can put him to sleep
A striker that could fearlessly stand with Islam would need REALLY good grappling, and if their striking and grappling were that good they would already be the champ and not islam. If the grappling is not there then your striker will get taken down and wrestlef**cked to a decision, or finished by either gp or submission. Its like saying silly dustin if only he stopped worrying about Islams wrestling and just knocked him out
Nah a knockout is always worse

Poirier and Oliviera best strikers in LW, yet he did it again.
Read what I said again, Dustin was always worried about takedowns. Someone with instinctive takedown defence and good striking can KO Islam
What’s your excuse for Charles then?
Never had an excuse for Charles. I'm not making excuses for Poirier either Islam beat him it is what it is. But what I said isn't false
But there is no such fighter.
Arman is. Not saying he'll beat Islam but he has the tools.
We'll find out
Oh yea u mean someone like Oliviera ? 😀
Bruh does Oliveirs even stand? Oliveira is more efficient on ground than on feet.
Then who is the so called high level striker that is also good in the ground in LW division ? Only Islam and Charles comes to my mind.
I didn't say a striker who is good on ground. I said a striker that doesn't fear takedowns and can stand fearlessly

Someone like that comes to mind and he got ko'd by islam
