Media Dricus Du Plessis: "Now Can See Why The World Thinks Belal Muhammad's A LOSER, Last Fan Checking Out"

[michi972]

I'm not even a huge DDP fan but I'm pretty positive DDP would crunch Belal.

I was always not high on him, but he is legit and well-rounded, gives me Prochazka vibes while he can beat anyone and van lose to any top guy, often is in trouble when he shouldn't. He shouldn't have the bełt imo, but he would destroy Belal

 

[MM808]

Hasn’t even touched a title fight and already making claims about having two belts. Delusional af

 

[BangBang]

BeLOL being a double champ has to be a sign of the apocalypse

Yeah time to move into that underground bunker man, this shit is getting too much.

 

[OldBoy91]

Lmfao at Dana ever letting Belal try to go for a 2nd belt.

 

[MMA Maine-iac]

Who was the last exciting WW champ? Robbie Lawler?

Can you explain why he "shouldn't have the belt?"

He's gone 7-0 in the UFC with 5 finishes and legit MURDERED Robert Whittaker. Murdered. That win has held up pretty good.

Strickland has a penchant for split point fighting stinkers but he's a serious problem for everybody. DDP got around that as his first defense.

There is nothing in Driccus' UFC career that leads me to believe he can lose to any top guy. Obviously this is MMA and elite fighters can lose to one another, but he's surfaced as being a top fighter.

Usman spectacularly KO'd Gilbert Burns and he beat the dogshit out of Colby in a barn burner, broke his jaw and put him away in the 5th round. In his rematch with Masvidal he did nothing but swing with bad intentions and SCARY knocked him out.

Nobody is perfect and has non-stop action but I think Usman gets overlooked for having some really exciting performances.

Who was the last exciting WW champ? Robbie Lawler?

Usman.

 

[El Panteron]

Poirier, an aged former FW who was 2-2 in previous 4 fights at LW

Come on, that's an absolutely braindead way to put it, Poirier is one of the best lightweights of the last few years, possibly a top 10 all time. "A former FW".

 

[AmonTobin]

Other dominant champs calling Dricus out as a weak champ. I agree with them. His decision win could’ve easily been scored a successful title defence for Strickland.

 

[Hyperborea]

Belend is insufferable. He does just enough to work out wins, make ugly, boring fights, then thump his chest like he's some phenom.

I give him some credit for racking up even a slop-fest win streak though.

But seeing him get bowel release KOed a couple of times would be hilarious after all the noise this boring fighter makes.

And he’s quite homely as well.

 

[Harlekin]

Disliking Belol, but if he beats Dricus, that would be so fucking funny.
That would turn me into a fan. Dana never let's this happen, unless Belal can get the whole muslim community behind him.

 

[MMAFanCal]

I saw Belal's interview and it was confirmation bias at its best. He was borderline desperate to dispel the idea that Islam would challenge him at 170 lbs. His logic was, Islam is too big for 170 lbs and walks around at 185 lbs so he could easily beat Dricus at 185 lbs as he is the same size as Dricus. What? Literally his words. No joke. Dricus has 5 inches height on Islam and Dricus himself said he walks around at 225 - 230 lbs in the off-season. Belal basically took Dricus weigh in weight and compared it with Islam's walk-around weight. LOL

 

[Clark Rogers]

I get why they're all doing it, but I miss the days where the first focus after winning a belt was defending it, not going after another in a different class.

Starting to wish they'd put in some baseline defense requirement before they let em do it. Defend yours 4-5 times, then maybe we can talk.

 

[weaselkenievil]

You guys crack me up, in a good way, laughing with you not at you some funny responses itt

 

[kingmob6]

Belal Pereira is the super fight we need!!
DPP will be without the belt by the time it happens.

 

[CasualBot]

B-LOL couldn't even finish Leon.
Leon finished the fight on top of a bloody B-LOL.

Nate came closer to finishing Leon.

B-LOL will not reach one title defense.

He will probably cry after.

 

[AmonTobin]

What does "last fan checking out" mean? Does Dricus mean he was a fan of Belal and is now stopping because of what he said?

It means his jimmies got fully rustled by a smaller man.

 

[IIIIIIII]

belal talking smack is cringy has fuck lol. guy is great as a fighter, and love his tenacity, but his smack talk needs attention. or just not talk crap and stick with defending the palestinians. that-alone is going to sell tickets.

 

[Cooliox]

Dana's probably going to give Colby the next shot
