Belal Muhammad on his different mindset (re Covington, Masvidal, Diaz)

[Unheralded Truth]

Do you think he has a point and is doing the right thing, wanting to prove himself vs Khamzat rather than protecting his spot in the rankings?
Let me hear your thoughts!

 

[Shaddows]

he is right.
Supposedly an easier fight with more hype than if he beat Colby (after he lost to Usman)

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

People may like to diss Belal, but he's kinda always been about fighting the toughest reasonable guy he can, ranking wise.

He took the Leon fight on short notice, and after Leon cheated Leon didn't bother returning the favor.

 

[kingmob6]

He is 100% Right. That's why I suggested that Colby fight Khamzat a while ago, as that would give him the best shot of getting potentially another title shot, because it is the biggest fight in the division.

 

[moosaev]

Belal has always put his money where his mouth is. Stepped up to fight Leon short notice, always called out big fights, always stayed active, was always smart with his call outs and trash talk. He's always done it the right way.

 

[TITS]

Khamzat would destroy this guy.

 

[moosaev]

Khamzat would destroy this guy.

Of course he would. But he'd destroy Colby, Leon, and probably Usman too.

 

[KhosVaziri]

I feel like this fight is perfect for belal right now but it might not happen and if it does, belal might get wrecked

 

[Holli]

He's one hundred percent correct. Still think Khamzat would eat him up though

 

[DLX]

I love it. I get why people are avoid Khamzat. No ones scare obviously. but man it's good to see someone with BALLS in this sport.

"Thats the guy everyones hyped about? Let me get him".

Respect to Belal.

 

[King in the North]

He’s definitely right but he’s going to be brutalized

 

[Ian]

Good on Belal for campaigning for this fight. His win streak and rank should be enough to entice Khamzat to fight.

Also, Belal is boring as fuck to watch and I think he gets smashed. Who doesn’t want to see that??

 

[Reileyb]

He's right, other than beating Usman, Khamzat is the next best thing for his own personal gain.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Not a fan of Belal, but this dude is all game and always wants the toughest challenge. I can appreciate that. I still think he's a mid fighter.

A lot of folks on this forum hate on this dude for other reasons. Let's just say those same folks would love him if his name was Bill instead of Belal.

 

[2sk]

belal is like 2-3 times worse then leon scott. if nobody wants to see leon fightign for the title,belal is like 3 levels below. nobody cares about him,hes a boring point fighter

 

[richardjohnson]

Sherdog always confuses me. Some guys get praised for calling out fighters in a lower weight class while Belal gets shit on for calling out the guy with the most hype in the sport right now. I’m not a huge fan of Belal but the hate the guy has received recently is puzzling.

So why do you guys hate on Belal again? I don't get it. The guy has ducked no one and constantly makes it known who he wants to fight.

Honestly, I think it's because of Belal being Muslim and not having a top fighter look (he's not particularly handsome).

because he's the most boring fighter in the division

Give him Khamzat though, at least it won't be boring when he gets finished.
