If he vacates the belt instead of fighting Ilia, people aren't going to care if Islam's reasons are valid, they're going to say he's running / ducking.

But those same people who said “Islam is ducking” are the same who will say “Islam beat another FW” if he beats Ilia.

He gets accused of being a weight bully but if he wants to move up to fight bigger guys at WW, he’s accused of running away from LW/FW fighters. He can’t win.

ESPN trolling us with this, unless they’re teasing a Jones/Aspinall announcement

he fielded questions from assembled media, who were keen to get the lowdown on Jones vs Aspinall amid mixed reports about the eagerly anticipated champion vs champion fight.

“Everything you hear is bulls— until we say it,” White insisted.

“I’ve said it many times, that’s the fight we want to make this year.

“Still super confident [it happens].”
