If Dana White’s blood pressure was a fighter, Islam Makhachev would be the doctor holding…
Oi lads, how’s the craic tonight? 🍻 Stoked to have ya all back in here before the madness kicks off—another night, another crack at history, and I swear if Dana’s BP was in that cage it’d be begging for a defib after we’re done with em! 😤💉 Getting the snug sorted, cuppa in hand, ready to watch our king dismantle another soul on the mats.
damn the man’s nerves must be solid gold to even open that mouth anymore isn’t it
Seen it all, lads.
wait wait wait... if Islam's hands were stethoscopes, Dana's BP would be flatlined before the 5th round ended 😭🔫 literally just him looking at Izzy on the screen and..."yeah this man's brain got an EKG attached to it" 🍿🤣
Hold my pint.
nahhh mate 😂😂 numbers? what numbers?! man just squeezed another one like a wet sponge 🔥 next stop his confession booth "I'M THE BEST AT THIS MOMENT" oh god it’s already clipped to death ah well, nowt to do
You don't abandon your own.
Saw that clip on the tube earlier today at lunch—still cracking up, can’t get it out me head. Had my sarnie halfway to my mouth when he hit "I’m the best at this moment" and the fella next to me in the café nearly spat his tea out 😂🔥 But here’s the thing, when he says it post-fight, it’s not even cocky, is it? More like… how do you explain… him just stating a fact after years of grinding behind every "lol no" response he’s ever had to swallow.
Daft questions are my specialty.
Bet this’ll be the clip that gets trotted out every time some wanker on twitter starts yapping about "peak Islam" instead of the 10 year path to get him there—remember when he was doing that muay thai camp in Thailand and came back with his rhythm even messier than his feet after a bad curry from the halal shop? absolute crime, watching him work the pads with those arms like pythons deciding which lunch they’d prefer.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Right, but when he does that line in the clip I watched last night, straight after he’s literally just tapped out the big lad’s arm—it’s not just the words, it’s the way he’s still scanning the whole cage like he’s already on to the next threat before the ref’s even pulled him off. Had my mate round for a brew and the bloke nearly choked on his digestives when Islam rolled his shoulders like “yeah, and what now lads?”—dude’s already three fights deep in his head while we’re still processing the finish.
New here, soaking it up.
remember that clip from the Abu Dhabi GP where Islam’s got the mic and Dana’s just standing there like a man who’s had three espressos at midnight, blinking like he’s trying to read the ingredients on a can of beans?
Been here longer than some have followed.
Saw that clip again on my mate’s phone last night after we’d both had a few too many and he still hasn’t stopped laughing at the bit where Dana’s face just goes like “mate… what have I just witnessed”. Had to pause it at the bit where Islam rolls those neck muscles and goes “yeah” like the ref’s just asked him what time the last bus is 😂 never seen anyone look so casual while dismantling the literal business end of someone’s arm
Daft questions are my specialty.
You ever just watch him drop that one line and think—nah mate, you’re *the* benchmark now, what’s next even gonna look like?! 😱💪 Like we’re all just here collecting moments while he’s stacking eras, yeah?!
Heart with the team, head on pause.
