News Ian Garry vs Belal Muhammad set for UFC Qatar on November 22

[Pierce 34]

What happened when black beast and big frank collided cocks?

Turned me on

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Ian needs to work on his cardio for this one

Weird. Though Usman Vs Belal was a no-brainer.

People just say that because they have some beef between them. It's surely not in the best interest of the division to have two of the top older fighters against each other, a lot less to be gained if they matched them up.

Shavkat is gonna miss this cycle of fights it looks like so he's probably out of the picture for right now.

Leaves you with

JDM/Islam
Leon/Prates
Garry/Belal
Usman/Brady
Buckley/Morales

Usman/Brady figure is number 1 contender and then Shavkat returns next year and you throw him in with one of the winners.

Shavkat said he's coming in January, so who knows, maybe you're right he's missing the matchups or taking whoever is left to book.

Why would Usman get that fight over Brady?

Because Usman's clock is running out. It keeps 2 contenders alive. Not to mention Usman's already had tons of high profile fights. I think UFC would do Islam/Usman if they get the chance to.

Well, the loser of Usman-Belal would become pretty much irrelevant and wouldn't even have an outside chance at a title shot...so there's that. It's kind of a final elimination bout for one of them, even if they aren't immediately cut.

 

[Koro_11]

Damn, will be the first time I ever root for Belal whatshisname.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Going with Garry by domination 50-45.

 

[Blastbeat]

two very unlikeable fighters but at least Garry sometimes finishes people
i think i want BBL Garry to win just because he will probably shit on Belal after he wins and that would be funny

 

[Cat Biscuits]

You know the kind of matchups where you really like both fighters, want to see them do well, and hate that one will have to take an L?

This is the opposite.

Still looking forward to it though lol

First time I'll be rooting for Garry.

Brady’s clock is running out too, he’s 32 and not an all time talent like Usman

 

[JBJ was here]

what happens when two decision machines collide?

Ambien.

By decision

[Lee Danger]

both boring but one isn't unlikeable: War Belal!

 

[Ladder Master]

This fight better come with a blanket, a bed, and some pajamas.

Motherfuckers will be put to sleep like we had a babysitter, and it’s 11pm.

Damn. That's a good point too. Wish there was some psycho champ that just fought 4x in a year to fix the WW mess. Maybe UFC rather get new talent and choose Brady instead.

 

[Nobru]

i just hope its a 3 round fight
if garry somehow retires belal i promise to watch the full fight in slow motion tho

 

[Here's Johnny!]

I think Ian Garry deserves a ranked opponent.... having to fight some no name fighter after going 9 and 1 and only losing to the literal boogeyman seems unfair.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Going with Garry by domination 50-45.

All things suggest this. I don't think Garry will take Belal down but if he does he gets up or subs. Garry's striking obviously atleast 200% better than Belal, great cardio, strong ground game. Garry is a very complete fighter who is younger and more fit than Belal. Garry will just win.

 

[HHJ]

I dont think Gary is boring, per se.

His speed is exciting.

But...

He seems to have no finishing ability, on the feet or the ground. He just aint got it, he tries but cant do it.
