Leon vs Belal build up is disgrace

[Poatan]

Two most notorious pillow fist swear to knock each other out. What a joke. We all know this goes full 5 rounds if Belal doesn't quit again.

That's why I bet Belal by submission.

Because it's unlikely yet highly rewarding if it happens. I had to make it exciting one way or another.

It's not rewarding when the probability is very unlikely. No one has subbed Leon and Belal isn't THAT GOOD of a grappler. He may get the TDs and be able to keep him there but he isn't going to do a lot of work down there either. That isn't belal's game. He has a better chance of catching Leon standing while mixing up TDs with strikes.

Fuck the buildup. It's fight day and we are baby.

Imagine bitching on fight day.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

It's likely to be a snore-fest, but I'm hoping maybe Leon will surprise me and pull off another Usman head kick KO.

I actually don't think it will be.

Belal, for all his faults, does come forward. Pretty much all the time.

Watch Leon's fights where his opponent comes at him and makes it a fight. RDA, Diaz, Tumenov, Luque, Bam Bam. The first Belal fight was shaping up to be pretty decent too tbh.

They are all good to great fights and bring out the best of Leon.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Good thing Leon likes to kick...


We dont need to worry about the pillow fist now guys

 

[RockyLockridge]

I hope belal wins because it'll be funnier to me.

These are actual threads!

On fight week!

"Omg Belal's voice is the most annoying everrrrrrrrrr. I can't even!"

"Oh no this fight is boring they said they are going to ko each other but they never ko anyone UFC is dying"

"I broke a naaaaailllllll"

 

[HHJ]

Y'all want meritocracy. UFC got something for ya ass.

 

[5crew]

Remember when people thought Usman Covington 1 was going to be a snoozefest? And it turned out to be a barn burner?

This could totally happen, but considering Just Bleed God gave us Holloway Vs Gaethje just 3 months ago, maybe not. But never say never.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

OHHHHHH BELAL MUHAAAAMMAD
OHHHHHH BELAL MUHAAAAMMAD

 

[Tweak896]

Expectations are so low for this, watch it be fight of the year and shock everyone. Can't be the worst title fight in the UFC because Rose/Esparza already has that cemented.

"Belal quit again"

You don't have to like his fighting style, his persona, his camp, or hell even that he even exists

But I can't put into words how moronic you have to be to think he "quit" that fight

 

[Sasha]

I kinda feel bad, we're mocking Belel, but that man is fighting in a loooooooong overdue UFC championship bout. I always say "blah blah, merits should always matter more than money or popularity when it comes to opportunities.

I don't wish him bad things, I think his weird behavior mostly comes from the fact that a lot of people advised him to stop acting like a dry sponge, like a lot of fighters do : become more or less unsufferable quite suddenly.

I believe in his chances. I probably underrate Leon though. I'll be watching closely.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

At least Belal has been stirring the pot trying to jack up the sales.

Leon thinks he posses some unwavering, undeniable aura that will sell out arenas without him having to open his mouth.

OH NO YOU DONT. we not even gonna play that game. dont even do that, theres far too many unhinged biased MMA fanboys
who would intentionally take anything leon said for promo
and use it against him in hopes of destroying his character. and if he loses good lord.
then suddenly its " leon is arrogant, hes boring, im starting to cheer for [insert leon opponent name]
, leons not winning any fans" blah blah blah and so on. we just went through this with
jamaal izzy buckley etc etc.

leon is doing just fine.

plus its danas job to promote the fighters which he CLEARLY doesnt want to do due to future negotiations so.

Wanna fuck WW forever?

Let these guys fight to some type of controversy again and have them fight a third time sometime in 2025
