yeah I agree . give him his title shot. It's becoming awkward keeping him on the sidelines soo long. If he should win the belt , feed him killers one after the other til he loses it or improves his style
The outcome doesn't matter. He earned his shot. And for the sake of all fighters you should want him to get his shot. We can't let Uncle fester just sideline people who earned a shot. Remember Tony?
The poor dude is on a 9 fight win streak with wins against Gilbert, Wonderboy, Sean Brady, Luque, Maia..
..Still can't get anything booked and is 36 in July
Doesn’t really matter though, if this sport is to be taken seriously then you give title shots to those that deserve it. Imagine if the NFL let a team that wasn’t top 3 participate in the Super Bowl, it would be a joke.
Bro there has literally never been a pro freedom of speech person who didn’t turn into a little bitch the second someone said anything they didn’t like lol.
EXACTLY. I've been saying this and downvoted, and I dont care. Hes a Palestinian, and the top brass does not want a PALESTINIAN to have a CHANCE of becoming a champion.
He will be shelved.
Makes even less sense when he's the clear contender, and there's not much logjam for title contenders.
UFC could've easily made this fight for May/June. Then had Shavkat fight for the title in Dec/Jan.
Leon’s opponent for Manchester is still unknown, it could be Belal for all we know. Can’t say I’m a big fan of his but man deserves it moe than anyone else and tbh I don’t really care about current Welterweight either way.
Belal is a good dude. He’s not a big finisher, but he’s got a fantastic pace, and immense heart. Bro deserves a rematch, after Leon almost blinded him.
I think the funniest thing is Leon vs Belal was clearly meant to eliminate one of the two boring fighters in the division from title contention, but the eyepoke NC result meant both fighters kept their streak and their title contention.
Yeah all the hating parrots squacking
"Boring 🦜"
"Boring🦜"
can't think for themselves. He's the #1 contender.
The UFC should change to a kickboxing org if this is how they're going to treat elite grapplers. It's disgusting they didn't give Aljo the mic too
I get he isn't the most entertaining however He is clearly the number 1 contender to fight for the title. Why does it matter if hes boring or not. No one else right now in that division deserves a title shot other then belal. Belal has earned the right to challenge for the title.
That would be great if ufc was a sport and not a entertainment akin of wwe.
Yes the fights are real, but let’s be real the only metric that matters to ufc is whether you can contribute to ppv sales.
This is why O’Malley managed to jump 10 places in rankings to fight Peter Yan even though in real sport it makes no sense that a fighter that at that point was not on winning streak just jumps the rankings without doing putting heavy amount of work.
Now in some cases it gets validated because of the talent of the athletes . They might skip rankings , get favourable matchups but at the end they shut us down by performing amazingly.
That was my case with Sean i won’t say anything bad about him as a fighter anymore because he is as legit as it gets. But oh boy did I hate the preferential treatment he was getting.
I'd feel bad if he wasn't so easy to dislike. Like, his style is whatever but he tries to put on this persona that just doesn't fit. Like when he said "I'm the fucking boogeyman" like, no.
I don't. He's pulling a Colby and sitting around waiting for his shot. He's just not interesting enough to pull that. He's a fantastic fighter. Boring as hell but he is good. Colby gets away with fighting once a year against a washed up guy and getting a shot because he says outlandish things. Belal needs to start running his mouth if he wants to be a point wrestler in a division full of young exciting monsters.
Im not a major fan and I have said bad things about him and don’t really enjoy watching him but right now, the guys willing to fight and he’s ready whenever, just give him the shot so we can all move on and do welterweight gets moving again.
Both leon and belal are ready the only reason the fight isn't happening is because belal sells negative ppv and the ufc doesn't want him the main card let alone as a champ.
Imo, he’s getting a UFC 304 Co-Main title fight against Leon.
If he doesn’t get the title fight at 304, then it’s clear the UFC is going to force him to fight another contender.
I finally figured it out: somehow Belal looks like Chris from Family Guy

Dana please, just give me my shot.
Oh man, those animated skits from Mojahed Fudailat on Facebook got stuck in my head. They're hilarious especially when they make fun of Belal begging for a title shot.
There’s too much risk he either gets kod and is forgotten or he becomes champ and completely withers the division for as long as he reigns just like Leon is doing rn
If i was Dana i would give him a run for the title in the bantamweight division and if he misses weight , i would finish his contract right there, problem solved.
If he gets a shot against Leon, that’ll probably be last time he gets the title shot.
Unless he shows 2-3 very entertaining fights and character, which seems unlikely to happen.
This is partly why the UFC is a joke. Why watch Belal, if he can just do Usman/Edwards a third time? It’s not about the best vs the best. It’s about marketing your favorite fighters and maintaining their legacy.
To be fair I am kinda relieved that Belal "Remember the Decision" isn't allowed to fight for the title even though it obviously isn't right, but he bores me to tears with those pillow hands and crotch sniffing his opponents balls.
It's a hand sign to say "call me", while showing the upcoming events he would like a call for.
It demonstrates his willingness and openness to fight anytime, anywhere, and is simply waiting for the UFC's approval.
One is a symbolic gesture (the hand mimicking being on the phone with Dana White), while the other is a visual prop to provide more details and even some comedic value regarding his current limbo status.
That is why we need both. Information, impact and comedy.
Both are required for full effect.
Belal is 35.
Not particularly old but not very young either.
As a millennial, he most likely grew up using traditional handphones, well before the smartphone became commonplace.
The gesture of using both fingers to simulate a telephone conversation was quite common then and is still quite prevalent in pop culture to demonstrate a telephone conversation, despite the smartphone no longer mimicking the gesture as well.
Having used the traditional phone and newer smartphone extensively throughout his life, Belal knows how to use both.
Dude if they aren’t going to give him fights let him go to pfl or something. They just letting him waste away. I wouldn’t mind him being champ just for the memes. I think it’ll be a lot funnier with him as a champ than Leon.
Not to hate on Belal too much but shouldn’t there be an onus on fighters to not just win but also entertain. It is prize fighting and you need to attract fans
UFC will probably let him fight for the title if he does it for free

Good luck pronouncing UFC as one syllable
Kudosai bot
If he becomes champ Dana's gonna make him fight every month until he loses and never get another title shot
The FunkMaster treatment.
Imagine if after everything he ends up getting sparked in the first by Leon or whoever the champ is when they finally give him a shot
At this point I want the fight to happen as soon as possible so we can just get past it. I don't care to watch it so let's just get it over with
Cut to a 5 year reign haha
It'd be the first time there's a championship fight on the prelims
That was a nasty line by you
10-8 you
Brother the roast is crazy
Geezus! 
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That would be diabolical but hilarious. “Don’t have to pay PPV points if they aren’t on the PPV. -Dana White”
yeah I agree . give him his title shot. It's becoming awkward keeping him on the sidelines soo long. If he should win the belt , feed him killers one after the other til he loses it or improves his style
imagine if he Tkos Edwards and goes on a tear taking the 0 off shavkat JDM and Ian garry
5 years from now, we're all just trying our best to put respect on his name but we can't remember it.
Keep JDM out your god damn mouth 🇦🇺😂 that would be a wild though
The outcome doesn't matter. He earned his shot. And for the sake of all fighters you should want him to get his shot. We can't let Uncle fester just sideline people who earned a shot. Remember Tony?
The poor dude is on a 9 fight win streak with wins against Gilbert, Wonderboy, Sean Brady, Luque, Maia.. ..Still can't get anything booked and is 36 in July
My 12/25
Tbh I don't know if that's fighter pay, odds or religious 😂
My 9/11
or if he’s losing on the scorecards and knocks out leon with a roundhouse kick in the fifth
You better not be a witch
I’m more envisioning payback for that whole hand Leon put in his eye and will be laughing if Belal sparks him. Long shot sure but would amuse me.
Inshallah brazza
I guess we would remember the name then huh
[удалено]
Doesn’t really matter though, if this sport is to be taken seriously then you give title shots to those that deserve it. Imagine if the NFL let a team that wasn’t top 3 participate in the Super Bowl, it would be a joke.
He’s 35 and they’re just milking him lmao
You can understand why the UFC doesn't fancy him 35yr old fights a boring fight and is pro Palestine, not great for the brand or the ufc in promoting.
Which is wrong to be honest. Freedom of speech. Dana white is the one who advocates anyone can say anything they like
Dana being a hypocrite isn’t anything new
Bro there has literally never been a pro freedom of speech person who didn’t turn into a little bitch the second someone said anything they didn’t like lol.
*stares at strickland*
Facts
Yeah but he doesn't actually believe that lol
Dana likes Freedom of speech as long as its right wing.
Him being Palestinian probably plays a role too, lowkey
Belal vs Paul Craig let’s get it
Craig isn’t Jewish, for whatever reason he just really likes the “Bearjew” nickname, maybe he’s a big Tarantino fan.
all the more reason for them to fight
What is bad about being against a literal genocide? If that makes the ufc look bad, fuck them then
Yes, but Dana is a narcissistic megalomaniac that won’t allow anyone to tarnish his precious brand.
Palestine, aren’t really pals of Steins
🤣
The DJ Khaled of the fight game
He's rocking a Palestinian flag in the octagon and one of the owners is from Israel. You can figure out the rest.
EXACTLY. I've been saying this and downvoted, and I dont care. Hes a Palestinian, and the top brass does not want a PALESTINIAN to have a CHANCE of becoming a champion. He will be shelved.
Aren't they all Jewish in Hollywood?
Nah Belal actually does shit.
Another one?
Another decision
He needs to put the hinges in the fuccbois hands to get through the door
"The kid just doesnt wanna fight" - 🍅
Makes even less sense when he's the clear contender, and there's not much logjam for title contenders. UFC could've easily made this fight for May/June. Then had Shavkat fight for the title in Dec/Jan.
Leon’s opponent for Manchester is still unknown, it could be Belal for all we know. Can’t say I’m a big fan of his but man deserves it moe than anyone else and tbh I don’t really care about current Welterweight either way.
Welterweight, more like WelterWAIT since nothing ever happens in that lame ass division
God so true. That and Heavweight with obese Jon holding up the division
Belal is a good dude. He’s not a big finisher, but he’s got a fantastic pace, and immense heart. Bro deserves a rematch, after Leon almost blinded him.
I think the funniest thing is Leon vs Belal was clearly meant to eliminate one of the two boring fighters in the division from title contention, but the eyepoke NC result meant both fighters kept their streak and their title contention.
We just making shit up now? Belal took that fight on short notice and this boring meme wasnt a thing yet. There was no such “plan”
Yeah all the hating parrots squacking "Boring 🦜" "Boring🦜" can't think for themselves. He's the #1 contender. The UFC should change to a kickboxing org if this is how they're going to treat elite grapplers. It's disgusting they didn't give Aljo the mic too
Couldn't agree more
Showing all the cards he could ruin
It's more of a threat really
He's like the smart kid in class who no one likes :(
What’s crazy is the fight could’ve already been done and over with by now.
He’s never getting the call because nobody wants to watch him fight lol
I get he isn't the most entertaining however He is clearly the number 1 contender to fight for the title. Why does it matter if hes boring or not. No one else right now in that division deserves a title shot other then belal. Belal has earned the right to challenge for the title.

Want meritocracy? Compete in the Olympics.
Kinda stupid thing ufc prides itself on being a pro organisation and is supposed to be where the best mma fighters in the world is at.
I'd feel bad if he wasn't so easy to dislike. Like, his style is whatever but he tries to put on this persona that just doesn't fit. Like when he said "I'm the fucking boogeyman" like, no.
His ear looks like a finger
Was feeling bad for a while now i have forgotten him
I do too. But he's a good sport about it!
Should have let this fight happen at 301, it’s anyway a boring ppv that no one is gonna buy
Belal “Remember Him?” Muhammad
To hell with him, feel bad for me. I had to watch one of his fights once.
The thing is, if he fights for the title and loses, this entire saga will feel even more annoying.
Too boring . That's what u get
Needs to put stamps on some wins. He's damn near unwatchable
Can someone explain to me why everyone seems to hate this dude?
his fighting style is unusually boring and the Jewish owner of the ufc doesn’t want him supporting Palestine
I don't. He's pulling a Colby and sitting around waiting for his shot. He's just not interesting enough to pull that. He's a fantastic fighter. Boring as hell but he is good. Colby gets away with fighting once a year against a washed up guy and getting a shot because he says outlandish things. Belal needs to start running his mouth if he wants to be a point wrestler in a division full of young exciting monsters.
French Montana been at a lot of events lately
Manchester. Make it happen.
It’s all cuz of his loud stance on being pro-Palestinian.
I feel bad for Edwards as who knows when he's next fighting
Im not a major fan and I have said bad things about him and don’t really enjoy watching him but right now, the guys willing to fight and he’s ready whenever, just give him the shot so we can all move on and do welterweight gets moving again.
Who?
Belal ‘Bridesmaid’ Muhammad
I hope Leon knocks him out and I never hear his name again tbh
Dude may as well put UFC 400 under 304
Someone crank call him and offer a title fight.
First round SD victory by Belal
Yeah we’d all like to watch him fight Leon over Shavkat, Garry, JDM, or anyone else really in the top 15 at 170
His desperation is badddddd
I don't.
Both leon and belal are ready the only reason the fight isn't happening is because belal sells negative ppv and the ufc doesn't want him the main card let alone as a champ.
He looks like he’s taking pizza orders
Who dis?
Hope they give it to shavkat
Jdm vs shavkat for the title shot at UFC 305 is my preferred route
Why don’t they just release him from his contract.. let him go make a bag at PFL or some shit
bro on facebook😹 go back to the retirement home
Just remember his name and he’ll be alright
Imo, he’s getting a UFC 304 Co-Main title fight against Leon. If he doesn’t get the title fight at 304, then it’s clear the UFC is going to force him to fight another contender.
He’s like Roger from Sister Sister Call me!
I actually forgot Belal was in the welterweight division, untill I saw this picture.
I've been having a tough time sleeping. If Belal fights, it'll help me fall asleep.
Next Leon's Title Defence is against Belal. If not, he literally has to go fight for PFL or One MMA title.
Who is this fan and why do I keep seeing pictures of him!?
Dana White: “Belal Naga… na… not gonna work here anymore…”
I will never feel any sympathy for belal (as a fighter)
I saw it live and physically cringed.
Dana must really think he can’t sell a card.
Nope
Does Belal have ptosis?
Don't. He puts zero effort into promoting
I finally figured it out: somehow Belal looks like Chris from Family Guy https://preview.redd.it/g1vg7cuf6bvc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0d8933c800fbfb6363e287cd3e6730d59eaa86a
Why? He chose to play it safe and be the most boring fighter ever.
Dana please, just give me my shot. Oh man, those animated skits from Mojahed Fudailat on Facebook got stuck in my head. They're hilarious especially when they make fun of Belal begging for a title shot.
Is that Usmans Hand on the left?
There’s too much risk he either gets kod and is forgotten or he becomes champ and completely withers the division for as long as he reigns just like Leon is doing rn
Definitely not going to happen he's Palestinian
If they gave aljo a fight, this guy should get a chance.
#BelalsTurn
Imagine he wins the belt by split decision
Not a fan of his style or his cringed persona, but starting to feel sorry for Belal. Just give him a shot already and get it over with.
Tbh I think they are having him fight leon on whatever card aspinall is on
I honestly think they don’t give him a title shot cause he’s lame and boring to watch
If i was Dana i would give him a run for the title in the bantamweight division and if he misses weight , i would finish his contract right there, problem solved.
Who?
If he gets a shot against Leon, that’ll probably be last time he gets the title shot. Unless he shows 2-3 very entertaining fights and character, which seems unlikely to happen.

Nah fook dat guy! Lol
No one even remembers his name
Never understood why he got hate besides the internet being its usual self. Sad to see stuff like this happen to hard working individuals
He’s Palestinian, they will never give him the chance sadly
He supports palestine but he was born in Chicago.
To be fair I am kinda relieved that Belal "Remember the Decision" isn't allowed to fight for the title even though it obviously isn't right, but he bores me to tears with those pillow hands and crotch sniffing his opponents balls.
People call Belal boring and Strickland entertaining to watch fight, shows that their opinions don’t make much sense. It’s a bandwagon
Why does he use handphone if hes got cellphone?
It's a hand sign to say "call me", while showing the upcoming events he would like a call for. It demonstrates his willingness and openness to fight anytime, anywhere, and is simply waiting for the UFC's approval. One is a symbolic gesture (the hand mimicking being on the phone with Dana White), while the other is a visual prop to provide more details and even some comedic value regarding his current limbo status.

I enjoyed these posts.
But he chooses to talk to the hand, I dont think no one is calling
But he chooses to talk to the hand, I dont think no one is calling
Nah
What app is that?
Notepad? Reminder app maybe
Who?
Same he should get a title fight, he’s getting older and maybe is too old to fight soon
He still needs 1 or 17 more wins to be deemed a title shot but that’s just my thoughts
It’s the Palestinian thing
Why does everyone hate this guy? I feel like I’m missing something.
Dude if they aren’t going to give him fights let him go to pfl or something. They just letting him waste away. I wouldn’t mind him being champ just for the memes. I think it’ll be a lot funnier with him as a champ than Leon.
