[@themonsterbaby]

​@dextergeorge6641 Nah..... he's pretty boring. And my REAL life revolves around this sport. He had 5 rounds with a 1 armed Burns and didn't push for a finish. Jack had 3 rounds and finished Burns with 1 arm. Which one you think ppl will be more excited to watch? Nobody says he's not good..... obviously he is. But there is almost nothing that excites anybody about watching a Belal fight.

53:50 I think some context is needed here. Yes Dana wanted Shevchenko as the champion (everyone did) but at the point Montaño was scheduled to fight Valentina it was her last chance. She claimed she needed surgeries (she did but only started saying that after being asked to fight Shevchenko) ducking Valentina for more than a year if I remember right. Embedded showed she was not taking the fight seriously at all as she was noticeably soft in comparison to when she fought for the title. Missing weight was the last straw for the UFC.
