Leon Edwards downplays Belal matchup: 'Nah, there are definitely other options!'

 

[mirko>anyone]

Belal needs to win a couple more to really prove himself.

[Bork Neslar]

What a fucking coward. This guy is so unlikeable.

Belal needs to win a couple more to really prove himself.

IDK man. I feel like he has already done enough to deserve title shot.

 

[Stuart0502]

Shavkat is 18-0. Belal is 23-3 and has lost multiple times in the promotion.

I don't see why Belal should get the shot to "make it a legitimate sport" considering no one considers him a better fighter than the undefeated guy. People are talking like Shavkat is 3-0.

Plus the first Belal fight was going down a similar trajectory to most of Edwards other fights, opens up a sizeable lead and then probably fades late holding on for a points win. The Brady fight was poor evidence to the contrary, Brady's cardio looked shit in that fight.

It was sarcasm. He is 9-0-1 in his last 10. Pretty clearly next in line.

I believe Leon or Belal lose to Shavkat next fall, though.

Make Leon fight Shavkat and let's get rid of this boring ass dude.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Sounds like he wants to move up and fight for the 185 belt. He's looking to be a double champ.

 

[CashMoney1991]

Fuck most UFC champs in the current era they are so picky with their opponents

Fuck that. If he beats Belal and this other guy who's name I can't spell then maybe he can try that.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

We might as well accept it. Ian machado will be getting the next shot if he gets past neal. Biggest mouth. There is a beef and storyline. This sport is getting nuts.

 

[AmbassadorFright]

Belal needs to win a couple more to really prove himself.

Yeah you know what, I think Belal needs to fight a few guys outside the rankings to really earn his spot up the rankings

 

[Dana's Conscience]

Yea, there's only one other realistic option, and frankly, I don't think Leon would like it.

I imagine that Ali will call Dana and get Belal thrown in.

 

[ryun253]

Belal really didn't have anything for Leon, hopefully Leon just takes this fight so we can see the Shavkat fight ASAP

 

[aali14]

You'd think Leon would be willing to give Belal a shot after sitting out so long to get his title shot

 

[BOTTICELLI]

Colby Vs Belal

Leon vs Shavy

 

[Unheralded Truth]

You'd think Leon would be willing to give Belal a shot after sitting out so long to get his title shot

Yeah, he does seem resentful. Like he feels it's his time now to dish it out, that it's somehow fair.

Fuckin guy is on a 9 fight win streak, that's how sir.

Not going to happen sir.
