News UFC Working on Belal vs Shavkat

[HuskySamoan]

He ain't taken over the UK by galloping across the steppes lmao

Got a bit of sea to cover, first, and that was a big obstacle for the Dothrakhi in GOT

The shores are not safe, there is a dark cloud of arrows covering the horizon. Leon will make peace with his maker and the kingdom shall be turned over to a new ruler, but this time not a king but a Khan!

 

[hswrestler]

Who does Kamaru fight next then? He beat Jorge and Burns so the winner of that fight doesn't make sense either......

Winner of Conor chandler

 

[fortheo]

They gotta let the muslims take eachother out in order to clear the path for Colby Covington

 

[AmonTobin]

Obviously a good way to reduce the division to just one undeserving contender, but Belal vs Shavkat kind of works...

Who you got?

I like it. I'll pick Shavkat by durability, creativity, and handsomeness.

[Jonesisnatural]

I'd be okay with belal getting a shot
But he's kinda in the territory of no top 5 or signature wins
Plus it would be a rematch of a NC he was looking pretty poor in.
But
Nobody else is worthy
Shavkat is behind him in line
Colby only has one win in forever
Burns is booked and just lost to khamzat recently
Belal makes the most sense. But he is a hard sell while Colby is an easy sell.. it's unfortunate but it is what it is.
For what its worth I think Edwards and Covington both beat belal though. I also think his streak ends at shavkat

 

[NoSmilez]

I will laugh my ass off if Belal upsets Shavkat.

 

[fortheo]

I'm just not a fan of the matchmaking if Colby really gets another title shot

 

[Siver!]

I'm just not a fan of the matchmaking if Colby really gets another title shot

Me too.

And I agree with you!

 

[Tweak896]

One of them should fight for title unless Khamzat is. This Colby shit is retarded.

 

[Gilday]

Great fight. They're both on great streaks but need one more big win to justify a title fight, winner absolutely deserves it. If Masvidal wins then fuck it let him and Leon settle their bad blood, if Burns wins then I'm fine with either Burns or Colby getting it

 

[DjolexMTL]

Wouldve rather have Usman/Khamzat and Shavkat/Belal, but if Usman is out for some time and Khamzat is going to MW, then that's the fight to make

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Hopefully this gets Belal out of the title picture

Pretty certain that is the goal here.

 

[Roop Holstry]

Poor Belal, he’s American, so he fits that profile, but his name isn’t compatible with the UFC’s American target demographic.

His fighting style isn’t compatible with the demographic either. He’s a decision machine

 

[Chalky White]

His fighting style isn’t compatible with the demographic either. He’s a decision machine

I agree, but so is Colby.

 

[Luckyme]

His fighting style isn’t compatible with the demographic either. He’s a decision machine

So is Colby but I guess he makes up for it with his gimmick.

 

[Roop Holstry]

I agree, but so is Colby.

I like Colby’s style a bit better but yeah not a big fan of either

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

They should have made him vs Colby. That little rat looks like he is getting a free title shot now.

 

[Portland8242]

Poor Belal, he’s American, so he fits that profile, but his name isn’t compatible with the UFC’s American target demographic.

Belal Muhammed from Chicago

Doesn't that just scream charisma through the screen?

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

I'm just not a fan of the matchmaking if Colby really gets another title shot

Yeah, really seems like they're trying to get Belal beat here lol

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Better matchups would probably be the following:
Usman vs Belal or Shavkat
Winner of Masvidal/Burns vs Belal or Shavkat
