Belal becoming champ would be horrible for the UFC business. He's the 2021 version of "smoke break" fighters like Shields, Fitch, GSP, and wmma. Bob Arum comments ring true to fighters like him.
Bob Arum:
In his typical manner, while continuing to refer to
MMA as UFC, Arum bashed the sports fans, labelling them as "a bunch of skinhead white guys".
And it did not stop there.
Arum moved from the fans to the fighters, stating that the fighters are "guys rolling around like homosexuals".
Thank God for illegal streams otherwise the only UFC I would watch would be free cards full of manlets, chicks, an unknown guys and would have stopped watching eventually anyways. Sorry to the GSP lovers but he was super boring like Shields and Fitch. I want violence and other than the Black Beast and a few others it is greatly lacking it now.
