[RockyLockridge]

1 of out 20 Media scored it for Belal

11 Scored it 49-46 JDM

is that one person blind?

I really cant understand how anyone could score that for belal

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Shut up and fight Marty.

 

[Poirierfan]

I'm not surprised you couldn't sleep afterwards, that movie is terrifying, @Poirierfan actually plays the leading role in that movie

Poirierfan turns to this once a kill is made....

 

[Pequeño Corey]

5 more wins and Belal can have a shot at him.

It's funny because it's true. Belal would have to string together another late career run to even whiff a TS. They ain't letting him nowhere near a belch.

Nah Jack won that, and I was rooting for what’s his name just to see Islam stay at 155 and fight Ilia.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Forgot this guy even existed

 

[Ares Black]

Ah, so he is completely delusional

 

[HHJ]

Delusional even @HHJ agrees that Belal lost this one

He did lose, but fighters gotta find a angle to keep goin. No surprise.

I always find it odd when fighters have a delusional take when they clearly lost to somehow motivate themselves.

Like if you were robbed or it was legit a coin-flip tight decision you probably should tell yourself you won, because the motivation should come from trying to fix how you were wronged.

But if you clearly lost (like in this instance, it was probably 49-46 and only 48-47 if you were being really generous to volume/control over actual significant strikes), it would seem like the angle to take should be either taking accountability for where you failed i.e. "I had the wrong game plan/I didn't make the adjustments I should have" or placing the loss as to the result of impossible circumstances i.e. "I had an injury so I couldn't train properly."

In either of those takes you can either take ownership of being the master of your own destiny or you can blame fate for uncontrollable outside factors. But when you just say you thought you won when you clearly lost it means you can't even objectively assess why you lost in the first place, in which case how can you actually improve/make adjustments to perform better?

I mean they are fighters not rocket scientists, whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

He's wrong but I don't knock him for saying it. Part of it is selling this line to himself and his most loyal fans. Belal is going to be saying all kinds of stuff to maintain relevancy. What he needs to be doing is get back in there and gets some Ws. We may not see him get another title fight if things go south for him which is a real possibility.

Belal lost 4-1
