The UFC doesn't like Belal

With all these divas wanting a champ-champ fight after 1 or zero title defenses, the UFC needs more weight classes.

-add 165
-170 --> 175
-185 --> 190

Problem solved. Now we have another division and we can have more champ-champ fights.
 
Belal getting some attention. Stirring it up;+) hope this gets him going to be more active.
 
From everything I've seen, he's a solid dude as a human being.

Which is the reason why his 'tryhard' antics on social media are so off-putting. Nobody believes it.

He doesn't naturally have the nastiness we want from a fighter. He's a good athlete, and he knows how to game the MMA scoring system, but he's not a 'fighter'.
He just said "we don't like your kind" and implied Chicago should give Dricus a cold reception. Volk doesn't even like him, and that speaks volumes. He's got lots to work on to seem as solid as you think he is
 
@lsa is the belal of sherdog …

I actually agree with you on this.
 
Belal is cool, let him work to another shot. Same for Leon. No extra push, but shouldn't hold him back. But we have Shavkat, who's exciting. UFC doesn't like the "boring" grinders like Belal, Leon, Beneil, Merab who don't talk mad shit on the mic (last two not as boring. Not close to boring at all for me).
 
You can say what you want about Belal, and there’s plenty to criticize him for, but so many ranked fighters these days get a decent win or two and sit on that until they get a TS because they know at some point the champion will need someone to fight. Belal knew that wouldn’t be the case for him so he just kept fighting dangerous opponents and legitimately earned his TS. You don’t have to like the guy but in my opinion you have to respect that mentality because it’s become somewhat of a rarity these days.
 
question is, has there ever been a less popular champ. fitch never got a belt. i can't think of anyone, he's prolly the p4p most boring champ in history.
