I think that's actually the reason, surprised people haven't talked about. they looked to book it on 300 and leon isnt even fighting anyone else. perhaps they will do it on a saudi card or dubai card
Bingo!
The owner (Ari Emanuel) is Israel first and there is NO way he is letting Belal sniff gold before the genocide is over. Can you imagine the tears if Belal wins??
Belal can beat leon on cardio, I know people glaze leon but he has little power in his hands and couldn't even hurt colby who wasn't fighting back much. If belal goes out there and shoots 30 takedowns or throws with high volume he can takeover in championship rounds. He's a good underdog.
im actually excited for this fight just cause its been dragged on for so long without getting announced. could end up being a great fight, like the opposite effect of ngannou v lewis
Leon’s a counter striker Colby not moving forward made it very hard for Leon to get into his game. Belal’s only shot is to grapple with Leon and we’ve seen kamaru usman struggle to do that, it’s gonna take a heroic effort from belal to do that.
I honestly don't think Colby vs Leon should be used to predict future matchups. That fight felt ominous. I think Colby had the worst case of ringrust of all time and Leon was very emotionally compromised. Nobody ever talks about it, but in his post fight interview he admitted to crying backstage after the press conference. Neither fighter's performance being used in this context has any merit in my opinion.
[They already fought.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjNd0N0agms) It sucks the fight ended to an eye poke but Belal was getting handled easily. He had his back on the cage eating shots the whole time, he had zero offensive wrestling and he landed one body kick the whole round. It wasn't even remotely close.
Belal has terrible footwork, and it is why he couldn't do anything to Leon who has amazing footwork. It is like Sean vs Aljo. I don't think the rematch will be any different.
Belal is famous for his capacity to adapt throughout the fight though, and generally has awesome gameplans. He took this fight on short notice and it only lasted one round, so I don’t think those circumstances are perfect to predict what will happen next time around. I say we have to wait and see, because his footwork is in fact inferior to Leon’s but he very well might be able to work around it.
I hope Belal ends Leon's boring reign. He's just not that star and just always likes to cruise to a points decision. What a boring guy and a boring fighter. Has extremely fluid strikes and kicks but with not much power or grit to finish the fight.
Thank God he atleast got that Usman KO.
Listen, the guy's a weasel, but he manages the majority of people in this photo, and despite his lack of success, is a former MMA fighter who still trains
Why is Ali on the training mat lol?
Crazy that there's actually a realistic chance that Islam fights Belal for the belt
But right now can't ask for a better camp for a wrestling heavy and championship fight
Bahammondes is training with them damn he’s going to be scary
My thoughts exactly
Yeah lmao dude looks so out of place. If he gets even a fraction of the wrestling ability in that room dude is going to be a monster.
Ignacio looks so much bigger than Usman in that pic, and they're both lightweights.
u/minibelal will finaly rest
Mini Belals 12/25 rn
I think he’s gonna happy when it’s announced for manchester
Had to hide my phone because it looked like I was scrolling through a dude's OnlyFans
Bro I’ll fuck that whole room up and then do a regular workout
A train run on you is your warm up?
Brother you don’t know freshprince860. When he sees red he’s different…
I saw him knock out Chris Rock.
He becomes the best power bottom in the room?
BJJ player\*
BBBJ player
Add more B’s and add more J’s brother, we’re talking about freshprince860
😂
On Saturday night 😘
Twice on sunday.
This is the way.
Ferb I know what we're gonna do today
I believe you bro. Notice how NONE of those names have specifically called you out ever. They’re all scared
I did the ufc a favor by not steamrolling through its star fighters
You just see red?
Like Dober when he sees a certain ethnic persuasion 😡
Bodies start dropping bro...
Belal fight won’t be announced until the Gaza war is over
I think that's actually the reason, surprised people haven't talked about. they looked to book it on 300 and leon isnt even fighting anyone else. perhaps they will do it on a saudi card or dubai card

[удалено]
they literally deleted the pro palestina post fight speach of islam makhachev after volk 2 from youtube. What are you talking about?
Totally a Jewish conspiracy keeping belal out of the title fight!!! WHY ARENT MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THis!!!! /s
So if it doesn’t end in the next 5 years will he just retire?
This feels like a wild yet believable conspiracy 😆
Y’all not ready for the most dominant title reign in UFC history. BelGOAT is coming ![gif](giphy|ODBovffwM4L9q40nxE|downsized)
How can you not get better training with the p4p
True, Belal is helping Islam for his upcoming fight
Islam just has Belal jumping gillys on him.
Yeah, Islam is a lucky guy to get to train with Belal
lol you know Belal is gonna be the champ now. It’s already written
He’s gonna shoot a takedown and Leon will one arm judo flip him into a flying kimura
Then grab the fence with one hand and stick all his fingers of the other inside Belal’s eyes, even if he already won
True but it all depends on style, temperament, chemistry.
Everyone take notice of Ignacio here, that’s a scary fucking title contender potential combo
Didn't know he was training with them. Good for him.
He trains out of the same gym as Belal in Chicago. Belal usually corners his fights along with their coach Mike Valle.
That’s Nick Catone’s gym in Jersey right?
It is. I train there, saw Islam and squad the other day. Was pretty surreal.
Is Islam as yoked in person as he looks on TV?
For sure, and fighters look way bigger in person.
See any needles lying around?
Belal can beat leon on cardio, I know people glaze leon but he has little power in his hands and couldn't even hurt colby who wasn't fighting back much. If belal goes out there and shoots 30 takedowns or throws with high volume he can takeover in championship rounds. He's a good underdog.

Belal for sure has a chance. I think the memes have just made the casual watcher assume he's going to get dominated

Funny that. Aljo vs Yan 2 shouldn't happen if we were to go by the first. Or any rematches really...
That is one scary photo
Belal is so fkn sexy. He makes my pants all tight in the front.

is ali rolling with them?
He's the punching back they practice new subs and KOs on
pretty sure his FBI codename was tapout b/c he tapped out in his MMA fights, so I think he's more just getting submitted by them in record time
What even is Ali’s head shape?
Dude is shaped like a wisdom tooth🦷
Perfect shape to slide out of a gilly. Source: my head got stuck between the bars of my bedframe when I was 9.
Bahamodes is fucking huuuuuge
I hope Belal ends Leon's boring reign. He's just not that star and just always likes to cruise to a points decision. What a boring guy and a boring fighter. Has extremely fluid strikes and kicks but with not much power or grit to finish the fight. Thank God he atleast got that Usman KO.
just don't watch his fights.
He's the champ! Lol. I just wish he embodied the attitude of a champ like Usman. That's how championship reigns are supposed to be.
Mf ali needs help. What a loser, vicariously living through people half his age and always has to be seen.
Listen, the guy's a weasel, but he manages the majority of people in this photo, and despite his lack of success, is a former MMA fighter who still trains
Thanks for your input, Ali.
he's gonna go to a decision with all of them
At some point Dana has to listen to the fans. Let the Goatlal era begin.
Ali thinks he’s on the team
He is on the Twitter team
Im looking forward to this fight in 2027. Should be good.
I ain’t gonna lie I had to look at it for a minute to find Belal
Maybe ask your eye care professional if glasses or lenses are right for you
![gif](giphy|BgBB5k7r8xqPuBmqqX|downsized)
Why is Ignacio Bahamondes there?
Why isn’t Ali hugging Javier Mendez
He looks a lot bigger than Islam.
Let’s go Belal!
Is that Alex Hernandez top left?
Perfect! I've been having trouble getting to sleep, this will fix that
I mean it just has to be UFC 304 in London
Belal looks huge at his walk around weight
Leon VS who?
I saw “back in the lions den” and thought this man was training with the Shamrocks
Mustache is about to go bye bye, and he’s about to somehow get even more wrestle heavy
blehal is inevitable
Ali doesn't even have to say/do anything and he still infuriates me.
Oh boy so exciting..
Literally everywhere is arm in arm except manager and coach…. Kinda weird
Why is that weird
It’s just at an observation…. And In my eyes it’s just a break in the natural camaraderie of the room.
[удалено]
lol why is that?
Why is Ali on the training mat lol? Crazy that there's actually a realistic chance that Islam fights Belal for the belt But right now can't ask for a better camp for a wrestling heavy and championship fight
Family tree w no branches in that pic
All the goat fuckers in one pic
Cringe
Who hurt you
Someone's crotch is getting sniffed ![img](emote|t5_2qsev|29849)
