I know we don't do a lot of drama in this thread, othwerwise we would just talk about Jon Jones non-stop, but this is getting ridiculous:
What the fuck are you talking about you dolphing head retard? Ilia is on the card.
If Ilia was the one pricing himself out of a fight, then why he was okay with gettin Justin and a presumed lower bag?
Obviously I understand that Islam is a bigger draw, so you need to ask for a bigger purse, but the white house event is a historical one for the UFC, the main event is gonna get traction regardless, and let's be honest, Islam is not that much big of a drawn, fucking boring ass GSP back in the day got more PPVs than him.
And I think Ilia doesn't really care about UFC purses anyway, he will be gone by next year to go get boxing matches. What Ilia wants here is to say "I beat Islam, I'm be best the UFC ever seen, now where is my Mayweather contract?
Not to mention, again, if Ilia was the one pricing himself out of the fight, then why not get Islam to be the main event then?
And please don't say that Ilia got the fight because Justin is an American and they need a burger at the main event at the White House. Justin is only fighting Ilia because Paddy sucks balls, and Justin is gonna get lit up by an uppercut the second he does his head ducking whenever he goes for his 1-2, not a great look if the point here is patriotism.
Sure, it is easy to blame all on the dolphin head Ali, but he doesn't run Islam's career alone, he and his coaches have a say here and regardless, this starting to look really bad on Islam.
I hate doing the fucking "duck" thing, but Ilia is the one who has been calling for this fight for quite a while, and it is a rare opportunity for shit to align and have the first and second pound for pound fighters to be able to fight in a historical card, while I don't hear much from Islam on who he wants to fight next, besides that one time he wanted to fight Usman for "legacy".
And I like Islam, and I hope I'm wrong, but if his play is either fight a 40 year old Usman, who doesn't have fucking knees, or wrestlefuck that Morales kid for 5 rounds and then call it quits by having the record streak, then that's just gonna suck. I'm not gonna front as if I'm the biggest Islam fan, because I'm not, but I've always had respect for him,
I get it, in the end this is all business, but fuck me, this sort of reasoning is what crippled boxing into being a turd of a sport...
