Is Belal currently the most uninteresting UFC champion?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Out of all the current male champions, is the he the most uninteresting?

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Nah, he’s a great human being. Someone should post the clip of him helping rescue that Palestinian child.

Belal Bless. We need more champions and fighters like him.

 

[OldBoy91]

Nope.

Raquel Pennington exists.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Nope.

Raquel Pennington exists.

Yeah women are a given. That's why I said in the OP out of the current male champions.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Not at all.

His win streak is legit and he has an ability to beat elite fighters with intelligence and smart strategies. The fact that he got guys like Shavkat, JDM, Garry and generally a new and fresh generation knocking at the door make it even more interesting. I'm intrigued to see how he handles these guys.

Champs often times are as interesting as their divisions. Lot of divisions right now are meh.

Solid post, yeah I'd like to see how he handles those fighters you mentioned. Though I think Shavkat will win. But you never know in MMA.

Nothing uninteresting about someone who keeps winning despite everyone saying he won't win and that he sucks.

Always the underdog. Always comes out on top.

That's a valid point.

I mean, LHW is kind of a shitshow outside the top 5 or so, and it has arguably the most exciting champ in the UFC...

I think I'd still give it to Jones out of all the male champs tbh.

He's planning on fighting a retired geriatric and then retiring himself. No interest in that fight and I'm just waiting for it to be over and for him to go away.

For all Belal's faults, he will fight any welterweight the UFC puts in front of him, and some of those matchups are intriguing.

Well said, that make sense. I can't argue with that.

He keeps improving and keeps dominating the top of the food chain. I'll definitely be very interested in a fight against Shavkat.

For some reason I just can't get very interested in Pantoja. Despite him having a FOTY against Moreno, he just doesn't really catch my attention.

Interesting choice in Pantoja. I can see that.

 

[ledonk]

This should be the shortest thread on sherdog.

The answer is: Yes.

 

[Domitian]

Belal himself isn't particularly interesting, but the division just got more interesting with a new champion.

 

[IdrisElbow]

Has the aura of a turnip.

 

[MMAcolyte]

Yeah, I dunno, he just seems like a very generic Brazilian who's a bit of a Jack of all trades. Nothing about him stands out. He's obviously awesome, but with guys like Mokaev getting cut I'm struggling to envision him in intriguing match-ups.

I'd be interested to see if he could avenge his loss to Figueiredo (sp?), but Deiveson has left that division behind for good at his age/size.

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

Probably. I'm not a fan of his style but it's effective. Leon didn't turn it on until it was too late.

 

[Conan the K-9]

WW has been a shadow of the division what it once used to be. No really interesting stars, no exciting fighters. Hopefully Shavkat saves this division.

Pantoja is a wizard on the ground, Mokaev would have nothing for him. Mokaev is super young though he would have plenty of time to develop.
