i think jdm is way better than people think. i rewatched that fight with gilbert and jdm did an excellent job at scrambling and getting back to his feet every time gibert got him down. gilbert didn't manage to do anything to him on the ground. his constant injuries are a little worrying to me though. jdm was originally supposed to fight leon in london but was switched to belal after shavkat pulled out and that's why leon fought sean brady
Meh, I’d have to rewatch that fight. But Burns peaked 2 years ago imo.
I’m expecting a boring but decisive win for Belal. Hope I’m wrong, since Jack is def more entertaining and more likeable.

i’m cool with either guy winning but leaning towards belal because that means we get islam vs ilia
rly wanted to see bsd alvarez

JDM chinning Belal just to be fed to Islam would be pretty anticlimactic. I can see that fight being a bit of a layup for Islam.
wtf
I was just about to post this. I wonder what’s going on?
wtf
they don't want to give him a rematch?

my only thought is that for some reason alex can't fight in august (which is the rumored rematch date) and the ufc isn't gonna wait for him to be ready and jiri or ulberg is getting next

probably better for him if he wants the belt back tbh…
talking about retiring makes me feel like his motivation is shot tho. not sure if he’s just threatening, but lowers my confidence in him for a rematch.
weird lull period for the UFC. not much getting announced, not much really happening. stars being sidelined indefinitely. I’m assuming there’s a lot going on behind the scenes rn in preparation for a Netflix deal or something. hoping we’ll get a big round of explosive news pretty soon, s*** is getting boring.

The lineup of champs aren’t really exciting either. No HW title fights, Big Ank, DDP, Belal, Islam, Volk, Merab, Pantoja

Yeah it’s bad right now. Lot of worst case scenarios played out for the UFC.
F*** u Dana. Making me root for Belal Muhammad of all people only to get the biggest fight the promotion has seen in years. An eye for an eye I guess
