I am not privy to the backstage discussions, but if the UFC makes an title fight with another WW without having first offered Belal at least one title fight opportunity, then I absolutely think he would have a case. It's really no different than if someone offered to pay you X amount of money...

That's not true. Oral contracts are a thing. The reason they are not usually enforceable is because there is no proof, but in this case, there clearly is proof. Dana made the announcement to the entire world that the Belal v. Gilbert fight was a number one contenders match. The key element of a...

Neither. He's benefitted immensely from the lack of good wrestlers he's faced. I doubt this. Aspinwall ate Sergei Pavlovich's Sunday punch just last fight and was unfazed. And has Jones EVER really been hurt by a strike?

Correct. It is really the ref's fault. If they consistently took points like they are SUPPOSED to, the eye pokes would stop instantly. But as it is, guys are actively rewarded for eye poking. Look at Weidman.

I don't know about that. He won a fight that was ANNOUNCED as a #1 contenders fight. And he took that fight on short notice BECAUSE it was promised to be a #1 contenders fight. If money if involved (and it is) and someone promises you X if you do Y and you do Y, then they legally OWE you X...

I would be happy with a Tsarukyan title shot, but to be clear, Belal has been a pretty clear top contender for like three years now. And he already won a fight that was announced and sold as a #1 contenders fight.

If no one cares about merit, then why is anyone bellyaching about Porier? Belal is a clearer #1 contender than Tsarukyan.

He won a short notice fight against the UFC that Dana publicly announced was a #1 contenders fight. That was almost a year ago! Dana just announced a bunch of big summer fights and Belal vs. Leon wasn't one of them. It is absolutely unprecedented for a guy to be on a 9 fight win streak against...

Dustin has a name and can draw. I think we all know that this is the reason he's getting the shot. But, as long as Tsyrukian gets the winner, I'm not mad about it. UFC has never been a pure meritocracy. What does suck is when there is an obvious #1 contender who gets overlooked for a long...

He just won and called out Fluffy Hernandez. That is the complete fucking opposite of a tomato can.

My main issue with Bo Nickal is that I don't think he's fighting often enough. He's 28, and he only has 6 pro fights. To give some perspective, Brendan Allen is 28 and he has 29 pro fights. If Nickal keeps fighting twice a year, he's never going to make up that experience gap. Realistically...

People are really fucking nuts. It's not like the dude gets to fight with extra arms or something; he's just a human... a human who is a really good wrestler.

Where did you see a struggle? I saw like 6 minutes of control time in a 7 minute fight and a second round submission. Wtf were you expecting? The Dim Mak?

Great, it's the soundtrack to diarrhea.

Yeah. For sure. But fight fans are fickle as hell. If he keeps winning everyone will come around.

Those are some 80's/90's looking chicks. I love it.

He's absolutely a blue chipper, and there is no 6-0 fighter in the sport that has better odds of being a future champion. People are just haters because of the hype. And also because he has the personality of a bot.

Nickal on this guy like stank on shit.

Bo Nickal telling the cut man how to put his Vaseline on, lol.
