From I betting standpoint, I must consider all things.

Team Eagle, generally, knows what they're looking at when assessing fights. They also know how to gameplan and prepare extraordinarily well for any given opponent.

Having actually trained with Belal, there's no doubt in my mind that Khabib and Islam are intimately familiar with Belal's skills and abilities.

If they thought that Belal was going to beat Jack, Islam wouldn't be waiting to see how Belal/ Jack pans out. There is doubt there, unquestionably. If Islam had any confidence in his boy Belal, he would simply move on and continue his business at LW.

Khabib knows. Islam knows.

Bet on Jack.
 
I have no idea if this is true or not. That doesn’t necessarily mean they think he will lose. But more likely they think it can go either way. Which is how it is with most fights that aren’t squash matches.

I’m not reading too much into that. I’ve been leaning Belal by decision, and nothing has changed my mind so far.

It’s just more proof that Khabib dictates who fights for the belt at BW, LW, and WW. The UFC has no balls. And most fans know it. So they are starting to tune out in big numbers.

Why the UFC are allowing Jones, and Khabib to make the company look impotent is beyond me. But it’s an absolute shit show.
 
Chuck dropped Tito with a body shot during training... The next day Tito didn't fight best friends.
 
Idk they thought Umar was going to beat merab and they thought Yan was going to beat O'Malley.
 
There might be some merit to this thinking but I’m sure they also thought Umar would beat Merab and we saw how that played out. They don’t get it right every time.
 
I don't know if Belal is really on their team bro <lol>

I feel like that stuff is THIN and will break over a future payday XD

Loyal enough to not move up and challenge his brazzer, but not loyal enough to refrain from casting doubt in a most public and overt fashion. Very weird situation imo.
 
You forgot the number rule of fighting: Anything can happen. Islam is waiting because what if Belal loses? What if he wins?
