Good chances that Belal vs Usman is next

[b00tysweat]

I'm afraid I have some bad news bro.

wait Stipe went 0-3 in his last fights?

 

[RockyLockridge]

I don't think Belal has Jon Jones pull so I'm skeptical, but it is the UFC.

it's not about belal it's about usman

 

[RockyLockridge]

wait Stipe went 0-3 in his last fights?

he hasn't won a fight in 3 years, that part applies

 

[Morning Star]

it's not about belal it's about usman

True. He did Dana a favor, still he's not Jones drawing power wise. Maybe they will squeeze one last big fight out of him before they discard him.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

We have to do better than this boys.
You'd think with the popularity of MMA on the rise we'd be eatin' well.

People have only JUST stopped calling out Nate mother-fucking Diaz, ffs.

I'm truly glad to have lived through the golden years.
It's 2024, and the game is well & truly COOKED if this is the best we can muster as a WW title fight.

DC on the pod and all comments are demanding that they release the podcast where Usman and Belal podcast where they maybe got into a brawl? I have to give kudos to these two as they have built up a fight that people want to see and I think they'll hug at the end and declare it was all WWE because managed by the same guy.

I haven't seen a thread discussing the technical aspect of this match up so who do you think wins? Belal beat Leon who beat Usman but I think Usman was nowhere near his best in the trilogy, as he was knocked out months ago.

Belal has a low chance of finishing Usman so I can see Usman being more heavy on the pressure and not as gun shy as he was against Leon but dude hasn't fought in a while so who knows how he looks.
Tho I think I can say with confidence that Prime Usman would have beaten Belal without much trouble.

Gotta give Usman one last chance ... and he also has a better shot at beating Shavkat than does Belal.

Quack fuckin quack

That's ridiculous. Iole just did an interview with Belal and he talked about wanting to fight with Shavkat and that Usman likely needs another win first .

 

[flowoftruth]

If that matchup happens.. I hope Kamarty ends up very very hurt.

why would you hope for that ? mental

 

[SalvadorAllende]

why would you hope for that ? mental

Because Marty has no business being the entitled bum he is... talking about him being the king of WW while not winning a fight in ages and not being able to beat Leon.. who had nothing against Belal. Good that Umar called him out on his bullshit. Marty should be like 3 good wins away from fighting for a title.

Sacrifice him to Shavkat IMO.

 

[RockyLockridge]

True. He did Dana a favor, still he's not Jones drawing power wise. Maybe they will squeeze one last big fight out of him before they discard him.

I want to make it very clear that I'm not justifying this matchup at all just making it known that it's not Belal with the pull

 

[Aurelian]

Shavkat gets next. Usman should do a #1 contender fight with Ian Garry.

Usman has 2 losses at WW to Leon and the Khamzat loss was at 185 on very very short notice. Usman did the UFC a huge favor there so I wouldn't be surprised to see them do him a favor.

 

[svmr_db]

Shavkat is next, Ali knows it. All this WWE level trash talk with Usman trying to angle for the fight isn't going to work.

 

[santiago]

Shouldn't be made but I do like this fight tbh, I think Usman would win by KO or decision

Dude is about done.

 

[GrantB13]

Belal and Usman have done a good job hyping up a fight between them? Says who? I haven't seen anything close to hype for that fight. 0-3 Usman needs to get some wins before it's even in the ballpark of being exciting.

 

[Subline]

Dude is about done.

He pretty much went to a draw with Khamzat, he's still elite. Belal is a good matchup for him stylistically

 

[octagonation]

Usman is on a 3 fight losing streak no way he gets TS. Kinda devalues the sport

 

[Söze Aldo]

One can’t help but laugh at the circus this promotion is becoming.

The argument of the best always fighting the best is more true in Boxing right now crazy enough than in the UFC. That was half of the UFC's entire cache right there.

 

[VinceArch]

This is wishful thinking on Usman's part and that's all it is. They might want it but absolutely 0 interest in it from the fans and more importantly from Dana.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Oh for fuck's sake!

 

[mister piscadinha]

lol, that aint happening


but if it did, belal would 50-45 him
usman aint getting any younger
fight would've been a banger in 2020 tho
