-Already explicitly stated that he'll fight Shavkat, no hesitation. He's clearly not interested in ducking anyone.
-Had the pink goof completely unhinged in the post fight presser, Dana hates this guy more than Tyron Woodley LOL
-Upper management Ari Emmanuel also losing his mind over a vocal Palestinian champ who actively brings attention to the war.
-Has Colby on Submissive Radio coping all over the place and jealous as hell that he did what he couldn't do.

I was really overlooking this guy before, but him being champ is going to be good for the division.
 
All I want is active champs. As long as they earned their spot there then whether they are "boring" or not isn't the most important thing to me, I want to see whose the best, and I want well paid fighters who fight often and aren't divas that avoid tough fights.

Getting extremely sick of rematch's and title shots being given on the basis of winning a popularity contest.
We'll see but if Belal defends soon then bless him, the WW title picture was held up by Usman, Colby, and Masvidal for wayyyyyy too long.
 
IF he is an active champ and wants to fight a lot against all the number 1 contenders then yeah I'll like him too and be a fan, thats all I want and thats what we all want at the end of the day is to see the actual fights, and not constant interviews and tweets.
 
I don't know about not ducking part, saying it doesn't mean he would do it. And i don't know about the active champ bs either, we have to wait and see.

yeah but in this case it's about WHO he makes mad.

Which I CANNOT understand why they (the UFC) doesn't like Belal. Fights often, Fights anyone.

How do we know anyone is mad? Dana is probably annoyed he lost his popular UK champion but he's had so many fighters lose that he wanted to win he's probably numb to it by now. If Belal defends his belt within a reasonable time frame Dana will probably be happy with that.

I'm still confused on what Ari has to do with this. Millions of people around the world are focused on that particular conflict it's not like he can do anything about it anyway.

Edit: Colby might be mad, that's hilarious.
 
Belal is boring as batshit.......but man, I hope he is champion for a LONG time!

yeah but that's not important. I'd rather see a borring champion who fights deserving contenders rather than a conor who never defends and will duck anyone.

Sure. That's not really anything different from what Leon was doing though.

He defended 2x in his only full year as champ which is average by UFC standards. He also accepted all comers and said yes to everyone.

Nothing has really changed from the WW champ standpoint.

yeah but leons fights weren't exactly exciting either. I actually think his best fight overall is the one he just lost.
