people just want to hate on Belal. everyone picked against him in all of his recent fights yet he proved everyone wrong. give this Man his respect
@chaeltheamericanmurderersi8450 Жыл бұрын
Belal is my favorite underdog. I’ve been betting on him since his fight against Maia. Belal took the same headkick from Edwards that knocked out Usman. He’s really underrated and I think his next fight will be Covington. I don’t think Colby will accept the fight against chimaev. I expect belal to be an underdog again in his next fight & I’m all for it

When Khabib said he could fight 3 people at one night, I really trust it.. Because everyone training with him said he doesn't know tired.. Cejudo himself said Khabib would have wrestling session 2 hours straight without break which is insane because who ever practice wrestling would know how much tired is wrestling is.. Gaethje himself knows this fact, that's why he stop wrestling because he doesn't have cardio like khabib has..

Well Leon was sort of piecing him up until the eye poke. Not saying he was defo going to win as Leon clearly showed in the Usman fight, anything can happen. But I think it makes sense for either Colby or Chamzat to fight Belal in a No1 contender decider. Not a Belal hater, he’s a big problem to anyone. Very well rounded and has a chip on his shoulder, good combination!
