Rakhmonov vs Muhammad

[HHJ]

Kinda seems like Belal may be getting the Tony treatment when it comes to fighting for the title...

The difference is Tony was a fan favorite,and exciting,but he was like a fuckin unpredictable lunatic who dana was uncomfortable even being around. Belal has a straighforward meat and potates style,and is a bit of a dork,but he's not insane or gonna go around doing crazy shit.

 

[blaseblase]

It's been 5 years since Colby beat anyone who wasn't coming off a 2 fight losing streak. Why exactly is he getting a title shot?

We know why.

Cos UFC like him better than Belal. Its bullshit,but we know why.

 

[Rationality]

All that being said, Belal vs Shavkat would be an awesome fight.

No doubt,but let Belal get his shot first. If Belal can win the belt,Shavkat can get the shot,would be even betta

 

[Rorschachxx]

No. Belal deserves his titleshot.

 

[PEDRO IVO RUSSO MIRANDA]

I thought Belal vs Burns was an epic chess match, one of the best fights i've ever SEEN!!!!!!

btw here are my top 4 favorite fights of all time!!!!!

1. Belal vs Burns
2. Ngannou vs Lewis
3. Adesanya vs Romero
4. Silva vs Maia

Strange top 3
Nothing wrong with it, but are all figths that a lot of people complains about, even today, ages after.
I personally think most of this people are exaggerating, but that's a really curious top 3

Hard for me to choose who deserves shot at WW.
Khamzat just looks otherworldly, undefeated, and amazing pedigree. Beat #2 guy, demolishes everyone else like they don't belong in UFC, but missed weight last fight.

Shavkat, he's finished every fight in UFC, ran out of high ranked people who will even accept fights with him like Khamzat. Just a killer and would be my second choice.

Belal is a work horse and may not have a pleasing style and looks less dominant, he's been winning more fights than anyone else so he deserves based off record.

WW sucks. We've been in Usman/Leon rematches for over a year, in that span with an active champ we could've given all 3 guys a title shot. Because of the jam we may have to cannibalize the contenders which would be sad for any guy. To make it worse we may wait for Colby's 3rd title shot.

Khamzat missed weight his last fight and has one top 5 win. Shavkat has one top 10 win. Meanwhile Belal has more UFC wins than both of them combined and 4 top 5 wins. What exactly is so hard about it? Who else has had to beat 4 guys in the top 5 to get a title shot? It should be the easiest decision ever.

 

[Brigfa2]

Belal needs to beat Shavkat, Usman and Khamzat to get a title shot. He doesn't deserve it right now!

 

[DjolexMTL]

Belal is unbeaten in his last 10 fights has 5 straight top 10 wins, and has 3 top 5 wins. Anyone suggesting he needs another fight should just admit that they don't like the guy and they want him to keep fighting contenders until he finally loses.

I admit this lol

 

[Captain Insano]

Belal is coming off of a massive W. He stopped Sean Brady for God's sake!







Belal is A tier and deserves his shot

I watch fights, not just records. Khamzat has had amazing feats in the sport already and looks the best out of all of them. That's just simply watching the fights and the dominance. None of the guys went through that many fights without taking a punch. He made weight when he beat #2 which should've earned him a title shot since #1 was "gone". When he missed weight he ragdolled the bigger opponent who was supposed to be scheduled at a catchweight anyways himself. A win over Nate wouldn't have done shit for Khamzat but more popularity.

Why is it hard for you to accept more people would fight Belal because they perceive him as an easy fight than they do Khamzat? That's why Belal has been able to get more matches and why he has the best resume right now. Same thing happened to Islam at LW, no one wanted that smoke.

Belal does have the best wins and best streak. He deserves it on paper and put in the work I respect him. However Khamzat is the best fighter.

 

[michhmoggan]

Belal hasn't done enough to get a title shot.

You appreciate high level mma. At the highest level nobody should really be throwing anything. As they’re both too highly skilled 1 mistake and it’s over.

 

[blaseblase]

Lol which are what exactly? Fighting two bums in 10 days, getting us all excited about having an active prospect, and then devolving to fighting once a year and talking shit on Twitter? Belal beat Burns more impressively than he did. And that's Khamzat's only relevant win.

Fuck Khamzat. He has failed to live up to the hype and can't even make weight for a gimmie fight, while Belal strung together a 9 fight win streak with 4 top 5 wins starting from no hype whatsoever with everyone shitting on him. The guy is the only Muslim on the roster who is willing to fight during Ramadan. Imagine Khamzat had an ounce of the worth ethic he does.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Shavkat fucks him up.

But Blahal is fighting Colby. Rakhmonov can take Leon Edwards after he loses to Colbi.

 

[SuperAlly]

Like they wanted for Leon

 

[SuperAlly]

Tony was repeatedly set to fight for the undisputed title, and was strangely announced as undisputed champion during the buildup to the Khabib fight at UFC 223. Belal, on the other hand, is clearly just going to be set against killers until he loses.

The Leon treatment
