Why are people seemingly not interested in Islam vs Topuria?

I get it, it's a LW vs FW matchup but we are talking about Topuria here, not just any FW. Dude is one of the coldest, most confident and skilled fighters I've ever seen. I agree that Topuria only has 1 title defense so he should beat Diego, Movsar etc and clear out the division a bit before that superfight and I also agree that Islam deserves the double champ opportunity but he won't fight Belal. Regardless, why are people acting like this will be a one-sided domination? I agree that Islam will most likely win due to the size/strength advantage but Topuria is as complete as it gets. This would be an extremely high level fight which I would rather see over an Oliveira/Arman rematch for Islam and a Volk rematch for Topuria. submitted by /u/Open_Address_2805 [link] [comments]
