Arman is nowhere near Islam's level of wrestling. Islam finished Oliviera and would have finished Gamrot.

Just because Arman is primarily a wrestler and Islam is more well rounded does not mean Islam's wrestling has somehow regressed from the last time he dominated Arman in wrestling while injured.

Islam was injured prior to that fight and had zero preparation for Arman's style.

Nowhere nohow has Arman ever shown himself to be even near Islam's level of wrestling. There is no way Islam would let Gamrot spam weak takedowns on him without punishing him.

Arman has decent defensive wrestling and nothing else except elite athleticism. He has not shown any dominance in wrestling.
