Islam fights dustin - boo he is ducking arman ( even though arman said no ) Islam doesnt fight - boo he is inactive Islam wants leon - boo he should fight in his weight class Islam beats dustin - boo weight bully Islam beats volk - he only beats featherweights. No matter what he will be hated. But those same ppl wanted unlimited title shots for colby and strickland.

I really feel for Islam about not been exited enough.. unlike other division LW have no real contender in champ level, they are all average like Dustin and Armen.. no one really see them winning against Islam.. and this is bad for business for Islam as champ, his fights against those will sell less, people won't be hyped.. and he won't be motivated to face them.. He should move up to 170 after Dustin.. Let Armen fight for interim title and build his name more as real contender
