JonStark Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Belal is really good at getting it to the ground, but that's about it. No submission threat, lazy GnP, and very little advancement. I hate how MMA fans undeservingly call fighters boring, but I'd make an exception for him. Props for getting it done, but he shouldn't be in any more main events and would probably get stomped by most of the top guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khabib at times wasn't always active but no grappler in the UFC comes close to being as boring as Boring Belal. I think just about anyone in the top 5 and Usman handle him easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yea, I agree with everything you say. I never said Khabib is boring. I just think in general the masses dont want ground work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can see if his training in Sweden has paid off in terms of take down defense. I think he pieces up Marvin if he can keep it standing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
