Belal Muhammad's Journey to Becoming the UFC's Welterweight Champ

[@abdullahmofeez292]

Alhamdulillah First Palestenian UFC Champion Well done Joe for getting him on Podcast

[@TheTrueMasculine]

Joe warned Leon not to underestimate Belal and look what happened 😂

[@tyreselannister7526]

Facts

[@awinash66]

That infact is true

[@emmanuelyarbrough9821]

Joe acting like he knew all along Belal was going to be champ 😂

[@robertdiengdoh]

Like he said everytime that the Rock is taking steroids made fun of him that he claim he was natural, but when the Rock came to his podcast never asked even once😂

[@naxxs]

But he never undestimated him like yall

[@Smoshylife]

@@robertdiengdohthere was a lot of staging during that podcast

[@emansfvera]

No but he always said that he was undeniable with his win streak. Joe is a purist bro.

[@Azzzzzaaaazzzeeeennn]

Everyone knew Belal would be champ. He beat up everyone and was on like a 10 fight win streak. They didnt give him a chance because he’s Palestine 🇵🇸

[@betterchapter]

I love how all these people hate this guy and he just doesnt care, true champ

[@yusafusmani7823]

Bilal Muhammad the champ , great guy who was kept waiting for far too long - shame on ufc for not making the fight sooner. well done belal

[@anasshahid224]

So happy Belal Muhammad won the welterweight championship, such a humble, classy guy. Well deserved. 👏👏👏👏

[@BreakdancingMiracle]

It’s great to see a big smile on anyone’s face especially Belal.

[@mattlynch8041]

Belal vs Leon was wil everyone clowned belal but that was a dominant performance by him, I don’t want to hear any belal slander anymore.

[@ohlord3650]

They didn’t want him fighting on UFC 300 because they were trying to make an exciting card. I know Rogan knows that too.

[@Polar-Bloop]

Sadly belal agreed on it For some reason it broke my heart cuz he also knew that was the case

[@HeilPutler-ze9tz]

Wrong, UFC is owned by the small hats

[@ryangraham557]

​@HeilPutler-ze9tz Wrong, no one wants to watch him fight cause he's boring AF, and no one cares he is part Palestinian who was born in Chicago lol

Nah he still a boring prick

[@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights]

Still so boring that even though I stream every fight for free I'll get a power nap if he's co-main or just go to sleep if he's main event

[@K-yn1sl]

Congratulations Belal you earned it.

[@shoibkhuroo]

I dont know why people hate bilal, i think he is a decent fighter

[@Derabanie]

Belal is 100% right, love to see the appreciation from Joe to Belal. Great interview.

[@rohitsaha8264]

I tried watching all his fights, but it only helped me realise I don't have insomnia ! Thanks belal

[@naxxs]

Cry he's still the champ

[@chiquita683]

Rohit name says it all. We know why you hate

[@Dieselman6.7]

I bet you wouldn’t say that to his face though huh?

[@batflashzyzz]

​@@chiquita683why? Just because his name is that?

[@Crepitom]

Really good game plan of Belal

[@mrsupplementsUK]

Hes a great guy he deserves this

[@Bohemian-Rhapsody]

Great interview, that was hilarious. 😂

[@AlexHager1]

So confused by these comments he’s a great guest

[@2016Islander]

Congrats Belal Muhammad on winning, future UFC hall of fame 👏 🙌 👌 👍

[@willischxng3040]

I get people not thinking Belal is exciting, but lets be real, most WW champs in the past decade were boring. Leon is a boring fighter (doesn't let his hands go), Colby most of the time is boring, Usman's fights against Woodley/Masvidal 1/Leon 2/ Leon 3 were all boring af, GSP towards the end was boring, Woodley had 2 of the worst title fights ever against Wonderboy and Maia. The only exciting champion at 170 since i've been watching was Lawler

[@digg_7]

You're correct, hardly any finishers either, Shavkat is our only hope

[@Jumperman12mac]

He's been an solid guy, just not exciting to watch.

[@kenmoraes6843]

Usman was the most exciting champ towards the end he was getting finishes and even then I enjoyed how he mixed it up. Shavkat has the potential to be the most exciting champ.

[@darren1989]

He only has 3 finishes in his entire UFC career. That's very boring in fairness

[@darren1989]

But you're right about Leon and Colby , pretty much decision machines their entire UFC career

[@odiallo9974]

Belal stands for some much more then himself when he won that belt

[@Big_Dogg31]

For years people laughed when I said Belal was a beast, but there's no denying him anymore. He's well rounded, his wrestling is top tier, and his pace against Leon was just unreal. Belal vs Shavkat is the fight to make.

[@fkillah]

🛌😴

[@Itscomplicatedaf24]

AUDACITY to put Belal as pfp ☠️

[@kreep3r]

he won me in the sean brady fight, the dude was just mauling him on his feet 😂 slugging it out, you can tell belal was tryna prive a point

[@tpckasuoid1659]

I don’t like Joe trying to talk about the “casual” fans. The “casual” fans are what keeps the lights on. I hate when people act like MMA fans are the best. The “hardcore” MMA fans are the ones that pirate the fights. The “hardcore” MMA fans are the ones that almost pushed Jon Anik out of MMA, but for some reason the “hardcore” MMA fans think the UFC’s every move is ok their interest. You “hardcore” MMA fans don’t deserve a crumb. The “casuals” are quite literally the reason this combat sport thing still somewhat thrives.

[@healthwithmarcus]

So true about the peole who are constantly commenting disrespectfully. That saying about "You'll never meet a hater doing better than you" is super true. I see it even in myself. If I'm in some "ugly mood" I know it's cause I ain't currently healthy-minded and transferring that energy by being needlessly slanderous would be straight up cowardly on my part.

[@jbone3777]

Hey man, you have some knowledge of self and humility. Most people don’t have that. Good on you.

[@healthwithmarcus]

@@jbone3777 Bless ya

[@berlin4103]

[@Razear]

I love how he admits that the UFC didn't book him on 300 because he knows him and Leon aren't draws. Lol

Belal has always been a great fighter, some of his fights just have been boring when compared to other greats

[@1247.cccccc]

Belal has always been a great fighter, some of his fights just have been boring when compared to not boring events.

[@VictorJulianGonzalez]

The problem is that most modern day UFC fans are so casual that they can’t appreciate martial arts, so when someone like Belal fights, they think he’s boring. Is he corny? A bit. Is he elite as an MMA practioner? He’s a top 3 p4p behind Jones and Islam.

[@waronwar-r9r]

And Pereira. Look at the rankings.

[@ryanembler7841]

Belals fights may be boring but he's come a long way in the game. If you don't respect that then you are a casual with a horrible memory

You may be casual but Joe is a free man he doesn't have to talk shit about people to get famous he says what he believes and he knew bilal had the potential to beat leon.

[@mbach4988]

Joe just called all of us losers lol

[@AlexanderStoinis]

Congratulations Belal Champ!

[@Empekkable]

I’m not going to lie I doubted Belal, but who am I to judge. I did say thought that his type of style is a dangerous style for anyone in the division. There’s a saying “Fatigue makes all men cowardly”. Much respect to him I see him defend the belt a couple of times. Say what you want, but do you know how hard it is to finish someone at the highest level? If it was easy everyone would do it. Js 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@a.a.u9182]

Bilala can take DC place because he very good analyse and talk

[@Shrewdy1]

Fair play to the guy for winning the belt, proved alot of people wrong including myself Still don't like him at all though, and I'd rather watch just about anyone else.

[@789vegetarasta]

I slept when Kamaru fought Jorge the first time, every Belal fight, and a lot of Colby fights to be honest

People saying he’s a boring champ- yeah he somewhat has an unimpressive style, but he really is a dog and is durable & resilient. A fight with Shavkat will be good, not saying he will win but it will be a good fight guaranteed

[@dangerdjk]

Joe panders to his guests. People dont gravitate towards Belal is simple. 1) his personality is not attractive, nor is he interesting. 2) he goes to a decision everytime and foght style is not appealing to fans.

[@tkg3491]

But they’ll salivate over Colby wearing a hair piece and cringing all over the place while keep losing. Sure it’s personally and fight style not at all background and ethnicity

[@globnoggin8779]

Fundamental misunderstanding by belal when he said no striker is good moving backwards this may be true in a sense where grappling is the advantage being taken but plenty of strikers are equally as dangerous or more off the back foot this may come back to bite later on

Let's be real ; he has been proving doubters wrong, but this next one against shavkat is going to cement the notion that he may just be one of the best welterweight in the business. Up there with usman and gsp. He passes them with a solid streak as champion 4 to 6 in a row. This journey ain't got the feint of heart.
