GDT: UFC 304: Edwards vs. Muhammad 2

[Deadpool8812]

This is in the UK eh? Can you trust the judges?

 

[I am not exposed]

Watch this split decision to the hometown guy. But should be Belal

At worst it should be 48-47 for Belal

 

[Tobias Kahun]

hoping for some hometown judging so I dont have to listen to belal being announced as the champ.

Leon did more on the ground with 1 elbow than belal did all fight.

 

[LandfiII]

She's f***ing over. Thank f*** I'm on the west coast.

Is your father a Leafs fan that passed it on to you? Relocated? Other reason?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

if I was looking for a hug, belal would be the perfect person to ask.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Feed him to Shavkat

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Edwards is too patient, kept waiting for the perfect moment, Belal just never gave him space for that perfect moment

 

[Deadpool8812]

Yup not an entertaining fight, but a smart game plan

Edwards has no killer instinct

 

[I am not exposed]

Lol DC

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I agree with Leon.

Why was this a 5:30am fight.

America is gonna watch if its at 5pm or 10pm.

Leon proved he could do damage when he goes... He just only decided to go with 20 seconds left in a fight that he was losing.

I think his tired from the time of the fight thing is valid, but its also an excuse.

Belal had to deal with that problem too.

 

[torero]

I think that BElal was better.

Sure Edwards had some nice elbows at the end ... that he could place because of the final 15 sec and both were very tired.

Belal was better today.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Does shavkhat have an opponent or was he waiting for this fight?

 

[Taytro]

I think his tired from the time of the fight thing is valid, but its also an excuse.

Belal had to deal with that problem too.

It's not like he didn't have time to prepare for that... This wasn't a last minute fight, if that was an issue in his performance then it's entirely because he didn't prepare appropriately. Also, several other UK athletes had to perform late on the card and had success.

 

[CDJ]

Wow Dana basically said good luck to Mokaev in the pfl

 

[dss97]

Whatever. I think everyone knows at this point that Shavkat is the uncrowned king at 170. I expect Belal will call out everyone else other than him

Why? Because of his antics?

UFC post show are saying the fight that makes the most sense for Belal is Usman. Did they forget Usman is on a 3 fight losing skid! Sanko only one making sense saying Shavkat. And Shavkat does not have a fight booked!

Shavkat is obviously the heir apparent but his best wins were against the guys currently ranked #9 and #10 who both had several recent losses before fighting him. I personally feel he's right there but needs to beat a top 5 guy in order to secure a title shot. I think Shavkat vs Jack Della Maddalena would be the perfect fight to make and introduce a new title challenger.

Colby and Usman are holding up those rankings, neither guy has won a fight in 2 years. In the last 5 years Colby has only beaten Masvidal and Woodley, both on the way to retiring. Get these two out of the rankings and bring in some fresh talent to challenge for what should be an exciting division.

Colby shouldnt even be ranked still

His biggest thing was losing a close fight to Usman.

If Usman wants to, I think he deserves a chance to make another run at the 170 belt.

Usman needs a win before anything else, something he hasn't been about get in the last 3 years. If you're winless in 3 years I don't think you belong on the rankings and I don't think you belong in discussion for a title fight.

 

[CDJ]

Why? Because of his antics?

Matchmakers had a number of reasons apparently

I imagine style, maybe not the easiest to work with, he apparently suckered Kape this week are all things that go into it.

He’s still super young so i think he’ll be back at some point. Striking looked cleaner tonight when he did throw.
