UFC 304 LEON EDWARDS vs BELAL MUHAMMAD instant reaction

[@tesuser8173]

the biggest negative IQ moment when Burger King shot for a take down to Paddy

[@technopriest8686]

Belal deserved this well earned and well fought, and especially happy for Palestine considering all they've been through

[@nr1NPC]

Did he really tho? Leon barely even fought lol

[@technopriest8686]

@@nr1NPC that's what happens when you shut down and overwhelm your opponent with high volume. Look up Stephen Wonderboy Thompson's analysis or even Mighty Mouse

[@tesuser8173]

i told you that traning with khabib team, Belal look like khabib today, woww the pressure and takedowns

[@spicemma]

He really did!

[@BasedGoddie]

So happy for Belal had a feeling he’d pull it off, and Paddy getting the sub! I had it for round 2 on my tapology picks, but a round 1 putting Green to sleep was NOT on my cards at all 😢

[@spicemma]

We were still right with the sub pick for Paddy! But that was a short fight ! And as for Belal yurp I had that feeling

[@rodrigogois]

Hey Angie! Good event, overall. Belal champ, what a journey. The amount of hate, and he battled through it to get the belt. Great mental fortitude. Tom... what to say. You said it best. Great showing by Pimblett also. I was very disappointed in the Mokaev-Kape bout. After all the terrible behavior leading up, the blatant foul on Mokaev by grabbing Kape's shorts... Surely one of the worst fights of the card, for me. Awesome seeing another of you. Take care 🙌🏼🙂

[@spicemma]

Yeah I admire all that Belal has overcome. It's massive and it still doesn't feel like a lot of people get it. Oh yeah that Mokeav Kape fight was so anticlimactic!! I wonder if Dana is really gonna let mokeav go.. seems like a bit of a shame. Thanks again for coming by and you take care also!!

[@SoyDuckHot]

I just woke up and you are telling me all good news ❤️

[@spicemma]

I'm so happy for Belal!!!! I still can't believe it actually!!!!

[@technopriest8686]

I'm kind of tired of immediate rematches, especially when you can argue it was 4-1 with Leon only getting that nice elbow in the last minute. Like Belal said "let him wait 3 years like I did" . Belal wants to be active it sounds like as well, he's ready to take on new challenges while Leon sat on his belt for quite a significant amount of time and was vocally picky with who he fought.

[@spicemma]

Same. I just hope the ufc give Belal reasonable prep time for his next fight. They love to turn around champs quickly to get rid of them for eg Strickland and Sterling.

[@technopriest8686]

@@spicemma Absolutely agree!

[@superhuman6368]

I'm just glad I made some money betting on Belal. It's sad for Leon but he needs to work on his ground game and be more sharper in his striking.

[@spicemma]

Nice work! I didn't have the balls to bet on the main event but damn that must feel good! I think Leons ground game is good, maybe he just doesn't have the cardio though...

[@superhuman6368]

@@spicemma I agree. He probably trained a lot two days before the fight and it's always best to stay chilled and just spar in the last days before the fight. That is why he didn't have the tank nor the stamina to compete. Very sad

[@Gle-lv2fm]

Belal’s striking was amazing, he had multiple opportunities to finish the fight standing up but decided to take Leon down, I guess he chose the safer option, but still great performance.

[@spicemma]

True! I believed he could finish it on the feet! I think he was safer there actually!

[@nr1NPC]

Belal couldnt even knockout my grandma, which finish on the feet lol.

[@Gle-lv2fm]

@@nr1NPC Ngannou IS NOT your grandma

[@syntholshoulders1842]

Belal vs shavkat in UFC 310 Afghanistan would be awesome

[@spicemma]

lol that would be unreal!

[@chicnoir29]

An early stoppage with Tom and Curtis.

[@spicemma]

It was a shit position for Curtis, cause he wasn't hurt, but he was flattened out so couldn't escape. I was disappointed that it ended so soon! He fought well.

[@ImissGoldie]

3 weeks until adesanya becomes a 3x champion get your popcorn ready

[@spicemma]

It's gonna be a tough challenge coming off his loss to Strickland plus a lay off, but if anyone can do it Izzy can. DDP is a massive middle weight and will need to be slayed in the early rounds.

[@tesuser8173]

@@spicemma unless Izzy fixes his boxing skill, it will be like Leon vs Belal, i got DDP, what do you think ?

[@spicemma]

I have DDP also, he's bigger like Pereira, but still young enough to make the weight easier perhaps. So yeah a heck of a fight for Izzy. Unless DDP's WC goes badly then Izzy can ping him. It could be some what similar to leon belal

[@KamBam-ni3pt]

I'm so happy for belal I was on the edge of my seat amazing fight I personally would not like to see a rematch belal won 4 of 5 rounds

[@spicemma]

I agree I don't think a rematch will go well for Leon either.

[@Richerrr-g6g]

I’m extremely annoyed that Leon didnt try to match belal’s grappling until later on and didn’t go for it. He’s good enough to turn it into a wrestling match but wanted to get back up too much. He waits till the last 10 seconds of the last round to try slicing belal with elbows.

[@spicemma]

I felt Leon could have gotten going earlier too, maybe he was afraid of gassing out, its hard to know. I think Leon is more dangerous on the ground too! The cardio was the issue

[@MatthewMcRowan]

I knew Belal got this. But now I want Shavkat and JDM to tak over the division for next 5 years

[@spicemma]

JDM has to get over his nasty staph infection.. Shavs may not be ready for this beast Belal! I'm excited to see whos next though

[@KamBam-ni3pt]

Great fights great card i dont really know hwy dana is that mad

[@spicemma]

haha Dana was grumpy! I was kinda shocked

[@CharliePond]

When Pimblet won the whole bar started cheering Paddy Paddy it was beautiful 🎉. Leon would have killed him if not stopped by the bell so Belal only won on paper to me that is nothing.

[@spicemma]

Man that would have been a moment! And true, fights and competitions are different things.

[@CharliePond]

@@spicemma sorry I was still mad that he lost the belt. I'm getting better

[@spicemma]

I know its the worst feeling!

[@ThisNachoFriend]

Left the video when you said you picked Belal to win by KO

[@spicemma]

Well I did get it wrong?

[@Nick-kb2jc]

Something was off with Leon. Can’t wait for Colby to come out of nowhere now and start acting like he deserves a shot 😂. Do you follow PFL at all? I’ve really enjoyed it lately, especially woman’s flyweight. There’s a big card this Friday.

[@spicemma]

I have to agree Leon wasn't at his best mentally, but styles make fights... Belal matches up well with Leon. I would like to watch more PFL and have missed some interesting fights, like Clarissa Shields, the tasman champ Ron Wilkinson (I'm Tasmanian) but it's more things to pay for... I love watching Eternal and sometimes Cage Warriors on fight pass. but yeah unfortunately I miss out on PFL!

[@Nick-kb2jc]

@@spicemma Nice. In my opinion, Dakota Ditcheva is probably the most exciting fighter coming up right now in all of MMA. She fights Jena Bishop this Friday.

YES YES YES CHEER WITH ME ANGIE! GO ON TOM LAD ENGLAND !!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 😂😊😊😊😊❤❤.

What a legend he is Will! Damn I wonder if I sang that in my live reaction... That Tommy A chant comes out at the strangest of times lol!

[@willharper3364]

@spicemma - Haha 😂👊........Jon Jones where you at ?! I will not be able to put hands on Tom like he does his wife !

[@JohnSmith-lc1ml]

I wish that somehow leon could lose without Belal winning.

[@spicemma]

LOL! nawww

[@KamBam-ni3pt]

Sad person

[@tesuser8173]

And Belal didn't give af about Leon striking, Belal had faster hands than Leon 🤯 "hands like Canelo" 😂

[@spicemma]

Belal was just amazing. It's still sinking in for me! I picked him to win but that was an incredible performance!

[@tesuser8173]

i think nobody picked Belal on mma youtube channels other than you, you are amazing 👍👍 @@spicemma

[@spicemma]

Really I thought more people would pick him!? Its just his style, I thought it would work effectively against Leon, coupled with his will. His will is undeniable.. but lol yes its still sinking in! wow!

[@tesuser8173]

Tom is too fast for any HW, but i saw he got punched many, tom didnt move his head. if it's Pereira, Tom would have get knocked out, he needs to fix it. Tom has no one left other than Jon Jones at HW. meanwhile, "what ? jon jones ? yeah, he is the greatest of all time" - Dana

[@spicemma]

Dana must be the only one lol!

[@pangwa8375]

Jon Jones won his fight against Cyril by pure luck. I think if they run it back Cyril gets him out of there. But Jon and Dana will never give Cyril that rematch, and I think Cyril knows that and has probably moved on to better things. Jon will never fight Tom Aspinal because he knows he'll loose. Right now Jon is about protecting that "zero" loss and is pushing Dana for a clean record but we all know his record isn't real anyway with all the steroids he's been busted for. I still don't know which of his fights he won fare and square.

[@spicemma]

Yeah that Jon Jones situation is frustrating for the entire sport. But its pretty hard to market a rematch with Cyril at present because the fight was over so quickly, a shame for Cyril but he can get right back up there if he wants. He needs to fight Tom, the legit champ!

[@eugen3294]

Bellal lose quick the belt bcs don’t have skill to much just grappling and not enough

[@spicemma]

Probably, if the ufc rushes him with a quick turn around, he may be older but he's the champ for a reason!
