Islam was surprised about Dustin’s takedown defense. Just like I’m sure Dustin was surprised about Islam’s striking. Crazy!!

[AcidGlow]

That was a war. Dustin was so good that he made Islam work for that win.

"I save this card because all these fights boring, The whole arena almost sleep, Dana give me 2 bonuses"
lmfaooo bros funny af

[BLike-ytwv]

Never dissrespect a guy that says brather

[tarci]

Islam: if you not tap you go sleep
Dustin: f#$% you I will do both.

[sportsfan_]

His striking is legitimately elite. He couldn't miss with that left hand. Mixed it up beautifully. Hats off to both men.

[keepitreelcatfishing]

Islam fought adversity, and was lacerated pretty bad. He showed a well-rounded game. The media and crowd booed and disrespected him all week. He returned the favor with poise, humility and a solid performance. He’s the best in the game right now.

[sportsfan_]

Khabib did it faster & easier sure, but Islam stood with him more & had legit success. Was an incredibly impressive showing.

That ending takedown is one of the higher level takedowns I've ever seen in a championship fight. Let alone in round 5 vs a stud like DP. Khabib & Islam are simply on a different level.

[jasonstrevels]

I've never been a fan of the Russian Fighters, but they've won me over. What a respectful & humble man ! Big props to Islam

[JulezX.X]

Islam is a cyborg, he outboxed Dustin, nobody does that. And submits him. What

[jakel]

I got a challenge for you ‘mma journalist’ try and ask the fighter a question without you asking it, then answering it, then seeking validation from the fighter that your opinion was right

[OvayBrandao]

Islam is so honest 😅 "Yeah man it's a drill I told you"

[BilalMaalim-bc]

Dustin has good boxing,
Charles has good grappling,
Volk has good striking
But what does Arman have for Islam? Nothing not a better striker not better grappler and definitely not better wrestler.

[subhanqureshi]

Imagine khabib fought dustin and absolutely mauled him. Came out without a single scratch on his face. Khabib might have retired early but he was on different level.

[Somali-ivpu]

feels bad for islam that the us fans allways hate him either because he's dagestani or muslim they should give him his chance this is sports you should respect good athletes.

[benmiles]

Islam is great, great representative of the sport. Doesn’t drink, works hard, wins, respectful and has discipline. He wins, he is human. But you cannot say Jon Jones is above him in pound for pound!

[Izzy-zhck]

How the f do people call Islam boring when he beats dp on the feet and subs him but are perfectly ok with strickand pitter pattering his way to decisions all the time? Make this make sense?

[alex__]

He's nasty man. Some beautiful combos on the feet & some of those takedowns were insane. Love JBJ but Islam is true P4P #1.

[New-Breed-Drywall-And-Paint]

That’s crazy Islam said he thinks the USA fans like him now …… brother all the real fans have always liked you . We may be pulling for the other guy . Like I was rooting for Dustin . But you are highly, highly respected . And we all know. What’s understood don’t need to be explained . The whole time the fight was going on, I’m pulling for Dustin . ( my wife is from Lafayette) she’s pulling for him . But I’m telling her, I want Dustin to win but you have to understand the guy he is going against if I was a betting man I’d confidently bet my house and everything I own on Islam submitting him .
