Belal has done a lot more than just beat Burns to get where he is and you know that. Tom is getting screwed because the UFC is dead set on doing Jones vs Stipe, I don't want to see that fight anymore than you do but it's the most accomplished UFC HW against the guy that many consider to be the greatest fighter ever. It's not comparable to Belal getting the short end of the stick just because he doesn't have an entertaining style.Why? From winning a lackluster 49-46 over a year ago against a 1 armed 36 year old who still won a round even with one of his arms not working?
Tom Aspinall stepped in to save a card and won by spectacular KO just 6 months ago and is still fighting again even after winning the interim title, Colby won an interim title and still got stripped and had to fight again because he got minor sinus surgery. Guys take fights all the time to stay active if the fight they want falls through.
The UFC did wrong by Colby when he won the interim belt but that was over five years ago and they have since gifted him two title shots that he didn't deserve, I'd say that makes up for it.
