That was the worst possible outcome, regardless of who you wanted to win lol

[The Legendary Scarface]

Last time we thought we would see Belal against an elite opponent, it was Leon and he was getting brutalized until Belal got eyepoked and I believe it became a NC...

Now, we thought, finally Belal against an elite opponent...
And Burns injures his left shoulder early on leading to a decision win for Belal which in my book doesn't count.

I think he has some solid attributes and wrestling. But overall I don't think he's a real contender and is probably fringe 5. It seems like he just keeps lucking out tbh. That's just my opinion though no hate.

What do u guys think?

 

[Fahcough]

He needed to lose for revenue reasons. I quit watching in the 3rd. Him vs Leon / Colby isn't interesting either.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Belal is well rounded, but just not real exciting to watch. He gets it done, but rarely are fans ranting and raving over the fight afterwards.

 

[BloodBonesNButter]

what a cosmic fumble for all of us

I don't think he beats a healthy Burns though if I'm being honest.

 

[forRealHuh]

He was not getting brutalized. Stopped reading there.

 

[Fact Checker]

Maybe they’ll pass them both up and give the shot to Shavkhat.

 

[The Eagle]

Belal and Burns are both boring fighters. Didn't matter who was going to win.

 

[Blastbeat]

im convinced that the people who talk up Belal on here do it partially because he pisses off so many Sherdoggers.

What????
Vs Leon???
Leon was whooping his ass

Oh but these two saved the ppv by stepping in for 5 rounds!

Jk of course

 

[Simple Southerner]

This place would be hilarious if belal beat Edwards via ud

And they just killed any remaining interest in the card.

Just a lesson in common sense I guess

- Belal is solid as hell. A perennial top 5 at the moment
- Burns just beat Masvidal that looked like hell in his last few fights. Not much to build credit on
- Burns is undersized, older and has been fighting a lot lately. A lot of factors painted him as the underdog

 

[Fergelmince]

I'm sick of hearing about the guy. he's the MMA version of sominex, but he's good at playing the victim when he doesn't get his title shot, and he's managed to stay in the conversation. So just give him a title shot, he'll probably get beat, and hopefully that'll be the end of it. It'll take about 6 months, and done.

 

[SuperAlly]

What I saw tonight, Leon works him again easy barring a freak eye poke or injury like tonight

 

[Objectively Correct]

Leon is not going to defeat Colby

 

[BluntForceTrama]

i sooo wanted to miss this card


and i did

 

[NoSmilez]

No BS. I fell asleep while watching him. I even went to get an ice coffee from the drive thru to stay up.

 

[HHJ]

No it wasnt.

That's Belal's style. That is what he does. If you couldnt see this as a possibility,then pay attention to whats going on.
