70 days after winning title that's insane they really hate belal

[oskarsalas]

We all knew the UFC would try to do this. Good on Belal for rejecting the potential 307 fight. Hopefully December or early January he is ok to fight.

They did the same thing with Aljo vs O'Malley

Good on Shavkat for not saying that Belal is ducking him unlike Periera and admitting the timing issues and too quick of a turn around for Belal.

[FightSportTalk]

This is not the first time the UFC have tried to unfairly pressure a champion. They've done this with Sterling, Whittaker, Woodley, Nogueira, Garbradnt and even Aldo and GSP.

This is nothing new.

shavkat would also maybe have more big wins if many people weren’t ducking him since he finishes everyone (not saying belal is ducking)

[alancortez]

Can we give Belal credit as well for breaking that 35+ curse for fighters fighting for a title in weight classes 170 and under

[julianace]

Belal vs shavkat in December is perfect. Unless they can make conor vs chandler

[josephboza]

Are we surprised Dana would force Belai to defend after winning the title 70 days ago. Dana White is clearly a big baby that Belai Muhammad won. Before morons start on this, Belai has NO problem with Shavakat. He wanted December/January like James said. This will be Aljo 2.0

[junglemania]

Belal should show his championship mindset

[almas-]

Find me a fighter who has 18 finishes in a row?!!! Hint, you won't find one except Shavkat!!!

[reubanfleet]

So jones can sit out for 2 years yet belal has to defend asap. That says enough with the ufc intentions

[majapashit]

Absolutely ufc is forcing belal atleast november or december makesense

Belal has to start up another juice cycle before he defends lol.

[aboodthebest]

Props for belal for standing his ground. 2 months turn around is too early. December this year or January is an ideal date for him. Also i can see belal winning due to the experience factor

My guy, puts a smile on my face how passionate you are about my countryman getting the well deserved shot… and you are absolutely on point - Shavkhat finished wonderboy as well as every single one of his opponents and just because some guys are terrified of the nomad and didn’t want to fight him, one thing for sure is that this man doesn’t turn down fights… who else in the ufc in the recent past literally not only looks but also finds a finish 100% of the time… the fact that he’s undefeated is indeed impressive! But the fact that he has 100% finish rate and is at the top of his division… ??? Not even the great khabib can boast about all finishes on his undefeated record and the potential for stardom for Shavkhat can be huge if the UFC continues to stand behind him and give him opportunities that unlike so many other contenders, he actually deserves, even if he doesn’t speak English… if anything, he has that Poatan aura, and what he possibly lacks in that one-punch KO power, he more than makes up for it in grappling… again, just wanted to give you props for getting behind a guy who comes from a relatively obscure place in the MMA world and being consistent about giving him all the praise he deserves on you channel!

[FlyPsiche]

good on Belal to hold his ground, Sterling did talked how the ufc sweetalked him into accepting the fight with o'malley

[JimmyCmma]

100 % they did. They do it when they are not happy they are the champions. Aljo had to do a quick turnaround for Sean.
