If you can’t take down court McGee, you aren’t taking down belal. He’s got some of the best tdd in the ufc

Man I like Belal outside of his fighting. Usually when a fighter gets called boring I don’t get it. But I totally understand it when your talking about someone like Belal or Sterling. It wins them fights though so I don’t think they care what anyone has to say

I think it was duck who compared belal to jon fitch, and I think that’s the most accurate way to describe belal. He’s really good but so ******* boring to watch

That’s an excellent comparison. Much like Fitch I don’t think he’ll be champ, just right on the outside

Sean Brady is one of the best grapplers in 170, a true one of a kind on the ground, very strong clinch game. Fundamentally sound enough on the feet, he's truly a great up and comer in the division

Muhammad vs. Brady
Belal Muhammad, SUB, R3
Seen Belal handle bigger guys. 1st round won't be easy, but I think Belal's pressure will allow him to take over in round 2 and I believe from having more experience he will be then able to take all of that into round 3 and just end the fight. Brady is a solid T10 fighter, but I think he lacks the experience still.

Sean Brady has great grappling, but has no hands, I think he will have issue because Usman, Burns, Khamzat, Colby and Belal are all solid wreslers with ok at minimun hand's, I think Brady really need to improve his standup or he won't contend with the big boys of the division

P.s Belal has 91% takedown Defence, He's not easy to takedown, Belal is impressive, But boring so people don't want to ament that it's good, Kinda like Jon Fitch.

Random fact, Jon Fitch from his UFC debut in 2005, To his fight with Johnny Hendrics in 2011 went 13-1-1 with the one lost being to GSP, And the draw to BJ Penn, People don't want to say he an all time great of MMA because he boring also, But to start 13-1-1 in the UFC make you a great, I don't care who you fight

Nah. Khamzat would destroy Belal with EASE. The only fight to make for him is Colby if he would just stop ducking him (Colby ducking Khamzat) Belal does technically deserve a title eliminator (as hard as it is to believe) but idk, him vs Khamzat just doesn’t feel like that fight. Plus I want to see Khamzat actually tested. Belal offers nothing for him, he’s better literally everywhere. This is good matchmaking IMO. Sean’s probably gonna taste his first defeat, don’t really see him doing anything to Muhammad, but if he does manage to win it’ll be a huge boost for him. For Belal it lengthens his win streak and gets him that undeniable 1 fight away from a title shot spot

I mean I think he would destory belal too but it would be a good test because he would likely have to fight on the feet since belals takedown defense is so good. If he took belal down, then it would be confirmation his wrestling actually super elite. He could easily chin belal too but still I think it would be a good fight

Considering Belal Muhammad’s accomplishments in the UFC, how can he not be deserving.

Everything Belal is good at, Sean is elite at. Worst match up possible for Belal. I see no way he wins
