Is Belal the worst champion since Forrest??

He excels at wrestling. His wins generally consist of shooting consistently and maintaining position.
 
Worst champ with respect to skill. Odd question as one doesn’t get to be champ without being highly skilled, even if they’re considered boring due to style.

You probably should have said who do people find most boring since Forest. Rashad, Woodley, Strickland, Machida, and some others would definitely come to mind if that was the question. Now that isn’t to say they didn’t all have their moments, but generally speaking there are fighters who fall into that category. Risk averse is the proper term, but even playing that game is a skill within itself.

Not against Brady, Burns, Lemon Good, Maia and a bunch of other guys
His only wrestling-heavy top wins are Edwards, Luque, and Wonderboy. 3 out of 15+ UFC fights

In those matchups his takedown defense got him the win, which is also wrestling.

Who else has been such an unskilled and untalented champ where they excel in no specific area of mma. Be it wrestling, bjj, (mt) kick boxing, tkd, sambo, karate and the like.

I’ve never seen a worse champ since Forrest.

So unskilled that nobody has beat him for the belt and he has beat everybody for the last 6 years Is it because he whooped your boy Leon?

Imagine that! A talentless fighter that seems to have lucked his way to the top. I mean his last few fights wow! some talented fighters he got on his record, but he must have got fortunate. Maybe he paid off the judges, or maybe he drugged his opponents....or maybe he did voodoo like Poatan.
 
Someone who isn't the most gifted in physique or skill yet still can rise to the top by sheer Fight IQ doesn't deserve to be called the worst champ ever! I'd much rather have that over a guy with a body full of muscle and a head full of fat, because his success is due to knowing HOW to fight, not merely throwing strength and slickness against a body.
 
Forrest Griffin lacks skill? Then how did he win his fights? It wasn't due to god given power, that's for sure.

Griffin has good footwork, kicks, doesn't wing too many punches, good on the ground, reasonably good fight IQ for someone who is an aggressive fighter. He seems comparable to Michael Bisping, if not better.

I dont get how someone like Rampage is more skilled than Griffin. Rampage has nice looking boxing, but he relies way more on his physical attributes than someone like Griffin.
 
Well TS, well I can understand your sentiment I disagree with you on two points.

A) Forest was pretty good...he was a UFC champ when the LHW division was stacked.


B) Belal is pretty fucking good too. Look at the win streak you had to go on to even get a title shot.

Just sayin'

I think everyone that is pro belal hates the jews.

This is antisemitic.
 
Belal has been a pretty stellar fighter. It's been a long time since he lost. If JDM washes him out that's a new talk
