Media JDM likens Belal to GSP in that they are both good at winning but get sh*t for being boring

I'd rather watch GSP fight reruns that I know the result of over and over than tune in to see Belal fight live.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I'd rather watch GSP mow his lawn than a BeLOL "fight"

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Maybe 33.3% of GSP's fights were "boring" pretty much all of the other guys fights are boring.

I love that Belal is the champ lol. It pisses off all the right people.

 

[tritestill]

GSP wasn't boring to me. Belal is not boring all the time. His fight against Leon and Sean were not boring fights.

This x1000.

Belal has no highs and mostly mid level boring fights. He is also boring as a personality. He is a good fighter and a champion for a reason but that doesn't mean anything except that. He is like winky Wright in boxing, really good and hard to beat but everyone just wants him gone

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Plus gsp wore a gi to the ring. So fucking goat level

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

I don't recall anyone ever needing to be reminded of GSP's name. . . .

Plenty of fighters just as boring (if not more so) that don’t get 1/10th the hate he gets, it’s not his style lol. He has a very polarizing identity given the politics of the core mma fanbase (Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, etc) , and by also having a boring style he gave them a perfect justification to pile on someone they didn’t like to begin with.

Fans love to use fighting styles as the main reason the fanbase likes and dislikes certain fighters but there’s very little evidence for this. Colby and Strickland both had/have huge followings despite having very boring fight styles. When Merab fought Umar you’d think the fanbase would rally behind Umar because he objectively has a much more fan friendly style than Merab, but no, the opposite happened. Fans choose who they like or hate based on how much they relate to them from an identity perspective.

Belal would Tombstone Piledrive GSP through the Earth to China and then fuck his mother in front of his helpless and now paralysed body

Could never tell if you're a troll or not but there's truth to these words.

Yeah thats true I couldn't care less because one who cares about there country two he is American. Race is a dumb fucking reason to hate on him..honestly there are plenty of better reasons then race to not like the guy as a fighter who needs racism he gives you all kinds of reasons

What's his name earned his belt, but as far as an exciting MMA fighter - GSP For The Win.

If ya have ANY Doubt - watch GSP Absolutely Murder Koscheck, never saw a murder from Belal.

 

[Egészségére!]

Fitch would’ve been a better analogy imo

Fitch made GSP seem like Rumble

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

GSP had so many great fights and performances, he is nothing like Belal at all. People only want to remember some of the decisions he had, GSP finished so many top fighters and was so dynamic. @Luthien remember when you sent me that great HL video of GSP, I think you need to send that to some of these new Covid Lockdown fans

 

[sjon22]

GSP didn't become "boring" until he became champ. He was VERY exciting in his early fights. Heiron, Sherk, Mauhem BJ 1 were all very exciting fights.
