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

[Sivo The Ram]

never thought GSP was boring, dont think belal is too boring either

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Because being compared to St. Pierre is a bad thing…

 

[MeatGrinder]

He's not boring. He's a real terrorist in that octagon.

 

[Neck&Neck]

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

I’d rather watch sudo gay GSP workout routines on Instagram than watch Bernard from Chicago fight
Damn he was dreamy and so well spoken

There will never be another GSP, but there probably will be 10 more Belals to not remember
Inshallah

 

[Prazeres]

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

Half of every GSP highlight videos are him walking out to the cage lol

 

[Chama]

you know what, you're right. it's time to call him out like we would if nobody else was listening.

Belal if you read this, I fucking hate you, ya boring weird-eye big-nosed motherfucker.

Question here is: do you hate ALL the big nosed people ?

 

[Cheese_&_mma_lover]

JDM gets it

 

[Jinx_AA]

Ww champs in general have been boring

Hughes
Gsp ( and I love gsp)
Usman - incredibly boring
Leon
Belal

All had tons of decisions -^

It’s been a wrestler heavy division … and lower weights have less KOs

Don’t hate … they’re incredibly well rounded … just not a striking heavy division

 

[Kindjal]

I like a fighter with well rounded skills and Belal has that plus very good cardio and good fight IQ .

Flashy moves and highlight reel KO's get the casual fans attention but a fighter that evolves and gets better and wins , you have to respect that - the dedication , the hard work and implements the game plan , Belal earned it . Respect .

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

is that how you describe decision victories?

@mods @Jackonfire @Substance Abuse WTF? Seriously, since yesterday and this clown is sans card?

This thread is hilarious. JDM is the one who made the comparison. The replies make it seem like Belal fan #1 or Belal himself made the comments.

@Substance Abuse @Jackonfire and I are all in a room lighting up cigars, drinking a nice scotch and watching Belal's endless highlight reel.
Thread lightly or I'll get your sorry ass banned.

 

[burningspear]

Belal will take that

 

[El Panteron]

Only if they involve a piledriver across the Earth and an intercourse with an old lady

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.

I think you're underestimating the homo erotic element. If Belal were a super good looking middle Easterner like Amirkhani, he would have much stronger fanbase. I think a lot of his backlash is just because he's weird looking, which makes there be less margin for error in terms of fighting style entertainment value. Belal would have to fight like Melvin Manhoef or something to make up for his handicaps and have a strong fan base.

Stop hating on Belal for beating for favorite fighter.
