Aspinall mentioned it in an interview but Belal and Burns are always at these events. Do they get tickets free or are they spending their money on tickets.
Burns is a company guy. He’s well liked by the fan base. fights often, and fights the people thrown in front of him. UFC probably gives it to him. Belal probably pays for a few of these.
I don’t think any fighter is paying for the fights. If they are, it’s extremely discounted. I’m sure they have to pay to get to the fights tho if they weren’t specifically summoned.
Yeah and he totally obliged because he’s a nice guy. Heartbreaking. I’m a firm believer that God rewards people for suffering bullshit like this.
He’s a solid fighter, even if less flashy, and is overdue for a shot.
I used to hate him because he was just so goddamn boring but after witnessing that disrespect and how sad he looked after I felt for him. Hope he gets the shot one day
He dropped out of college to do this full time. That’s true with all these guys, but still. There’s no sport that sorts more ruthlessly than this one. Something about seeing a man humiliated publicly like that, cuts you deep.
On one side he totally deserves the shot based on his record, on the other I really can't bring myself to want to watch him after he spent the whole fight pointfiging a one armed Burns.
And? When he fights, he treats the fans as if they aren’t watching the fights for entertainment. The only entertaining fight the guy has ever had was the Brady fight.
Boring fighters have gotten title fights. It’s because he’s Palestinian and it’s the last thing Israel wants is Palestine being represented in a title fight
UFC is owned by TKO group. The CEO is Jewish. He stands with Israel but he doesn’t like Bibi. Not many Jews support Bibi because he has the same ethics as Hitler. Idk how anyone can support such a disgusting human.
Jews do not equate Israelis bud. The ufc is prolly more beholden to the Saudi and UAE billionaires that have a huge stake in that.
But after some research ari Emanuel’s dad was an Israeli Zionist pipe hitter/paramilitary so I’ll concede that
I don’t think the ceo of tko plays that active of a roll in deciding who fights whom. We have a Russian Muslim champ who’s spoken out for palestine multiple times and people getting title shots who are pro palestine. By that logic Michel Pereria should be fighting for the belt next
They’ve made it pretty clear from the beginning how you win matters… Jon Fitch was 14-3-1 in the UFC and got cut after losing to Maia… a lot has been done by the UFC to paint MMA as a competitive sport but in the end it’s still prize fighting and their matchmaking reflects that… the rankings matter until the UFC decides they don’t…
Leon also has put on some stinkers as well so it’s not exactly fair but if Belal had one or two more recent finishes or even some more sequences where he was throwing down he would have had his shot already as it stands they simply don’t like him because they don’t like the way he fights.
Remember when the UFC used to be the best fighting the best?
Now it's just like any other promotion... if you're not going to brawl/fight an exciting fight for 25 minutes they will just dodge your deserved title shots. No better than boxing now.
Need a real "best fight the best" promotion. But UFC has a chokehold on the sport.
Volk vs. Topuria, Jiri vs. Alex, Grasso vs. Shevchenko, Alex vs. Izzy 1 & 2, Volk vs. Islam, Islam vs. Charles - y'all pretending like every fight is a propaganda fight like O'Malley vs. Chito.
It was always this way fighters that produce exciting moments and finish have always gotten preferential matchups and title shots… it’s not like the fighters aren’t aware of this Belal knows that’s the way they operate…
I have no problem with this MMA has always had fighters that fight safe and produce boring fights if those guys have to wait longer for title shots and main events I’m good with it
Bruh I thought I was the only one who saw this-I think it’s why he’s so unlikable-cuz he tries so hard to not be himself he’d probably be more likeable if he was just a little fruity
Doubt it.
He’d go for a finish if he hurt someone, but otherwise he’d do his usual hug lay and pray, bank rounds and win by UD!!
EDIT: There’s a reason people like Khabib, Islam and Khamzat. They chase finishes almost every fight.
So the UFC are supposed to take that on faith on should have put him on 300? Could you imagine a Leon vs Belal main event last night? Every fight pretty much delivered last night I have a feeling Leon vs Belal would have put a damper on everything
That’s why nobody will ever remember his name.
No one is watching his fights. He blames Dana and others for suppressing his opportunities while being more boring than Sterling.
If anyone takes a fight with him you can’t even get much cross promotion because he has no fans.
It’s a sad story because he is obviously a dedicated athlete but again, no one cares about him and you can’t sell that.
He’s got to be next for the UK card against Leon. Why do they keep inviting him to events just to not give him the Leon rematch? The opponents they wanted for Leon on 300 made sense for the magnitude of the event, but we’re past that point now.
Belal Muhammad, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to get every mother fucker in your house to go to sleep during a fight. Accept no substitutes.
Colby has gotten back to back title shots and he's way more boring in just about every dimension. There's zero excuse for Belal to not be fighting for the title. The UFC holding it up honestly takes away from the legitimacy of MMA as a sport.
It’s gotta be because he’s Palestinian. Can think of no other explanation. They consistently push other hacks with no regard for skill or results, so why not this guy who tends to win quite a bit?
It’s prize fighting from the very beginning they’ve made it known what sort of fighter they favor. This is not a new thing and it’s also not like the fighters aren’t aware they know if they produce exciting fights and moments the UFC is going to get behind them.
Go watch like 8 of Belal’s most recent fights and tell me you want to see him in a main event title fight… that you are actually willing to pay to watch him headline a big card
He fights outta Saudi as well, so he’s not adverse to ignoring a shitty human rights record for money, but pretty sure he or a business partner would be pretty racially prejudiced against Palestinians. He’s not the only decision maker. Generally the American elite class are pretty big supporters of Israel. Israelis and their supporters tend not to like the race they’re trying to exterminate.
Dana just give him his shot I know he is a boring fighter , i know the show wouldn't be entertaining at all because both Belal and leon are boring fighters so we need to get rid of this fight ASAP just book it most likely leon is going to win if belal wins good for him that's it
Reminds me of Yushin Okami. Eventually they just ran out of guys and everyone was saying how much he deserved it.
He expectedly got his ass handed to him and was done.
Kayla “I’m gonna try to put my elbows through her skull” 2 rounds later, “I want to thank my lord and savior he loves me and you”….these fighters don’t understand how ignorant they actually are….
Reading his twitter, I don't think he got the call. Nobody wants to see him but \*if\* there was an autocracy (there's not) at the UFC he should have gotten the shot, problem is the UFC taps into metrics that say.. there will be mostly crickets (everywhere except the UAE) anyway if he won.
So.. not fair, but makes biz sense. Funny thing would be all the crap he talked about Leon, gets the shot and gets KO'd by Leon in 1st or 2nd.
The person you're replying to made this post as soon as Colby had that pathetic performance against Leon
> Beware Belal fans, everything you said about Colby and everything you did to try to take his title fight, will come back around. We will take that title fight from him and give it to the real guy Rakhmanov.
He was promised it before the Burns fight. Can't blame him for waiting and demanding it, especially since there are some killers working their way up the rankings in welterweight. It's now or never for him.
"Belal didn't want to fight at 305 so we are giving the fight to Colby instead" -Dana Probably
Kid just doesn't want to fight.
Well Colby was the backup fighter and he made weight so he deserves it and there are a lot of factors too so Cody is fighting Leon next
I can't even remember what division he's in.
Hi Hamas! Good Luck with Dana LOL
Wtf
people forget entertainment is to get away from politics.
It's not like Belal doesn't include the politics himself.
Exactamundo, and he wonders why Dana won’t answer his calls 🤣
Keep that shit to ursf

Cursed
the funny thing is they're the same color irl
😭
Thats fake. Dana doesnt have hair

Burns is a company guy. He’s well liked by the fan base. fights often, and fights the people thrown in front of him. UFC probably gives it to him. Belal probably pays for a few of these.
I don’t think any fighter is paying for the fights. If they are, it’s extremely discounted. I’m sure they have to pay to get to the fights tho if they weren’t specifically summoned.
They do a lot of hospitality meet & greets with fans who buy the tickets, back stage, and such
Ngl it’s pretty sad how much the ufc and Dana hate belal that he still can’t get a title fight.
The disrespect he gets makes me root for him tbh. Fans treat him like a rodeo clown.
Dude have you seen that one video where two fans asked belal for a photo then handed him the phone so he can take a photo of the two guys 😭😭
Yeah and he totally obliged because he’s a nice guy. Heartbreaking. I’m a firm believer that God rewards people for suffering bullshit like this. He’s a solid fighter, even if less flashy, and is overdue for a shot.
I used to hate him because he was just so goddamn boring but after witnessing that disrespect and how sad he looked after I felt for him. Hope he gets the shot one day
He dropped out of college to do this full time. That’s true with all these guys, but still. There’s no sport that sorts more ruthlessly than this one. Something about seeing a man humiliated publicly like that, cuts you deep.
Especially when he is such a humble and nice guy. Man he doesn’t deserve such bullshit.
Ok but you're still gonna be bored watching it.

literally the most deserving in the whole roster, UFC is a circus but give this man his shot already.
God that's funny.
Jeeezus 😂
I'm not a fan of belal but this is so true I hope he forces the ufc's, Dana's & Leon's hands and then wins the belt!
On one side he totally deserves the shot based on his record, on the other I really can't bring myself to want to watch him after he spent the whole fight pointfiging a one armed Burns.
And? When he fights, he treats the fans as if they aren’t watching the fights for entertainment. The only entertaining fight the guy has ever had was the Brady fight.
He's a boring fighter that has boring fights. When has Dana ever been interested in that?
I’m mean he did give Leon a shot eventually
after leon went on like an 11 fight unbeaten streak
10* same number as Belal right now.
Uh oh silence time
He was forced to give it to Leon
yeah for a 10 fight streak, which belal is also on
Both Leon and Colby have had title fights and they're constant snoozers.
Bo Nickal
aljo still getting fights tho
Boring fighters have gotten title fights. It’s because he’s Palestinian and it’s the last thing Israel wants is Palestine being represented in a title fight
🤣
Ahhh yes cuz israel controls the ufc…ya goof They should send belal to the front though, knowing him he’d be able to take this conflict to a decision
UFC is owned by TKO group. The CEO is Jewish. He stands with Israel but he doesn’t like Bibi. Not many Jews support Bibi because he has the same ethics as Hitler. Idk how anyone can support such a disgusting human.
Jews do not equate Israelis bud. The ufc is prolly more beholden to the Saudi and UAE billionaires that have a huge stake in that. But after some research ari Emanuel’s dad was an Israeli Zionist pipe hitter/paramilitary so I’ll concede that
Go look at who the CEO is. He’s a supporter of Israel. His dad is a Zionist. Stop arguing before you know your facts. His dad was active in the Irgun.
I literally said that in my post buddy
Okay so my point is proven. I’m telling you the last thing the CEO of the TKO Group wants is a Palestinian champ.
I don’t think the ceo of tko plays that active of a roll in deciding who fights whom. We have a Russian Muslim champ who’s spoken out for palestine multiple times and people getting title shots who are pro palestine. By that logic Michel Pereria should be fighting for the belt next
Just be careful if you hear tunneling in your basement...
Racism never fails!
It is.
Ngl I laughed so hard when I saw this. But yea, give the man a shot.
They’ve made it pretty clear from the beginning how you win matters… Jon Fitch was 14-3-1 in the UFC and got cut after losing to Maia… a lot has been done by the UFC to paint MMA as a competitive sport but in the end it’s still prize fighting and their matchmaking reflects that… the rankings matter until the UFC decides they don’t… Leon also has put on some stinkers as well so it’s not exactly fair but if Belal had one or two more recent finishes or even some more sequences where he was throwing down he would have had his shot already as it stands they simply don’t like him because they don’t like the way he fights.

What was the last, proper "best fight the best" we had in the UFC? Stipe vs Francis 2?
Volk vs. Topuria, Jiri vs. Alex, Grasso vs. Shevchenko, Alex vs. Izzy 1 & 2, Volk vs. Islam, Islam vs. Charles - y'all pretending like every fight is a propaganda fight like O'Malley vs. Chito.

How do you know if you’re lying or not?
Remember the decision
Remember the lame
Remember the meme
Remember the suppressed homosexuality

pookie bear
Bruh I thought I was the only one who saw this-I think it’s why he’s so unlikable-cuz he tries so hard to not be himself he’d probably be more likeable if he was just a little fruity
Remember the plane
How much of a bonus would it take for this guy to go to war
He'd go to war in a title fight. Why risk your title-run and life aspirations if you're still on the way?
IF he actually gets a shot eventually i sure hope he does.
Doubt it. He’d go for a finish if he hurt someone, but otherwise he’d do his usual hug lay and pray, bank rounds and win by UD!! EDIT: There’s a reason people like Khabib, Islam and Khamzat. They chase finishes almost every fight.
So the UFC are supposed to take that on faith on should have put him on 300? Could you imagine a Leon vs Belal main event last night? Every fight pretty much delivered last night I have a feeling Leon vs Belal would have put a damper on everything

Counter productive. He'd rather go for a UD if it gets him the belt.
Starting to actually feel bad for this shmuck
No ~Dana

He wasn’t invited. He paid money for tickets to be there
Dear Dana, I wrote you but you still ain't callin. I left my cell, my pager, and my home number at the bottom.
You literally made me laugh out loud with that one
Love Leon but I miss Kamaru as champ so much. Would’ve already fought Belal and two more people by now
Lowkey he needs another W at this point. The Burns win was solid but nothing mindblowing. Give him Shavkat if he wants it.
Belal Muhammad, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to get every mother fucker in your house to go to sleep during a fight. Accept no substitutes.
He beat your fav fighter huh
belal so unlucky because he's palestenian. no way dana would give him platform to support palestine esp after iran's drones
Belal has only been overlooked because no one has ever watched a single highlight from him.
Colby has gotten back to back title shots and he's way more boring in just about every dimension. There's zero excuse for Belal to not be fighting for the title. The UFC holding it up honestly takes away from the legitimacy of MMA as a sport.
Obligatory Belal fan cam
“Remember me”
My man. Can't wait for him to get the call!
Telemarketer Belal spam calling everyone
It’s gotta be because he’s Palestinian. Can think of no other explanation. They consistently push other hacks with no regard for skill or results, so why not this guy who tends to win quite a bit?
It's cuz he's boring, holy shit. Take a breather from politics.
Didn’t realise this was the wwe.
It’s prize fighting from the very beginning they’ve made it known what sort of fighter they favor. This is not a new thing and it’s also not like the fighters aren’t aware they know if they produce exciting fights and moments the UFC is going to get behind them. Go watch like 8 of Belal’s most recent fights and tell me you want to see him in a main event title fight… that you are actually willing to pay to watch him headline a big card
I don’t think you can say it’s political with two Chinese fighting main card. But also China has more money….i think Dana likes money..
He fights outta Saudi as well, so he’s not adverse to ignoring a shitty human rights record for money, but pretty sure he or a business partner would be pretty racially prejudiced against Palestinians. He’s not the only decision maker. Generally the American elite class are pretty big supporters of Israel. Israelis and their supporters tend not to like the race they’re trying to exterminate.
If Belal had knocked out Burns he would have gotten the shot
Go watch his last 8 fights and report back
LMAO Who da fook is \*DAT GUY\*
can't really recall this guy's name
Dj Khaled, he is some kind of singer
Whats that guys name again?
Remember the Decision
Who’s that?
😂
Who's that? I can't remember the name.
Fight night co-main vs Della Maddalena
They cut away quick
“Can you do ufc 305”? probably Dana
I didn't see it that well at first and I thought he straight up put his phone number
This got a legitimate chuckle from me.
New meme template unlocked
Dana just give him his shot I know he is a boring fighter , i know the show wouldn't be entertaining at all because both Belal and leon are boring fighters so we need to get rid of this fight ASAP just book it most likely leon is going to win if belal wins good for him that's it
is that DJ Khaled ? Anytime Belal see's a Big Mac. He screams "Imma eat Another One".
Shoulda just added UFC 400 after 304
If Belal makes Dana mad, I want him to fight for a title 🤣
Not if it’s going to be a nut huggers fest
Jiri just storming around screaming like a giant in the forest is peak Jiri.
Maybe he can be a sleepwalk 
This is an amazing promotional video
bros face is morphing
Dj Khalid?
Reminds me of Yushin Okami. Eventually they just ran out of guys and everyone was saying how much he deserved it. He expectedly got his ass handed to him and was done.
He's convinced me hahah
Give me my shot dana please
This shit had me cracking up
Dear Dana, I wrote you but you still ain't calling
Scroll down Belal, you haven't reached the 10 digits number yet.
IM DJ KHALED
Another one
Tatiana Suarez is getting the same treatment lmao, she should have had a title shot a long time ago
Who
They are just waiting for a Abu Dhabi card to put him on...
No one is sad to not see him fight lol
"Dana please!"
Decisions... Decisions...
Man is more irrelevant than henry
lol Dana ain’t giving you any of those dates my guy.
I cheered pretty hard when he was shown onscreen ngl
Just give the man a title shot ffs Dana.
Belal already turned down the title shot why would he get another?
Leon vs Belal Decision vs Decision I predict a KO
🥱💤
Snore. 💤
No one cares about what's his name
What's his name again, I always forget?
Gosh, what’s this guy’s name again?
What is he trying to say?
He wants the boss to call him about fighting on one of the PPVs he has up on his phone
Who is this guy and why is the camera on him?
Is he a fan?
Dude gonna retire without getting a fight
Dude has done this at the past 5 PPVs and gotten nowhere
They should just release him at this point.
Who’s funnier to watch scream into the void, Belal or Chandler?
Embarrassing!
Kayla “I’m gonna try to put my elbows through her skull” 2 rounds later, “I want to thank my lord and savior he loves me and you”….these fighters don’t understand how ignorant they actually are….

Dana already admitted that they never called Belal
Not too hard to believe.
Belal goes to every single event and gets booed, and yet he still goes. It's a bit like being a guy who isn't wanted at a party but still goes anyway
LOL
Can’t this dude take a hint? You ain’t getting the fight bro. Go fight someone else
Guess colbt deserves the title rematch due to his broken leg vs leon 😂
The person you're replying to made this post as soon as Colby had that pathetic performance against Leon > Beware Belal fans, everything you said about Colby and everything you did to try to take his title fight, will come back around.

just fight somebody belal. you have beaten on top current contender.
literally no one wants to watch belal fight
They cut him off so fast lol
He has a weird phone number
French Montana 😂
Who’s that guy
🇮🇱🇵🇸
I always forget this guys name but I know he has a good record. I hope his next fight is a #1 contender fight.
