@@muhammadzariff7075 coming from a muhammad I would expect nothing less, I was leaning belal but I'm rethinking it because I'm starting to doubt he will want to take luque down
How can you not like Vicente Luque the guy is just so genuine from his interviews and has a really entertaining fighting style. Should be a good one this weekend.
Lets be honest here, we need dads like Belal’s dad. His dad is legit giving him advices and trying his best to help out his son, even though he doesn’t have any knowledge in regards to MMA. That’s what i call a Dad that believes in his son wholeheartedly!
Vincente has the skill to take the title imo. His grappling has improved greatly and his striking is absolutely vicious. We know Belals gameplay so if Vincente can defend properly then to me he's a real contender.
@@rafaelo6198 Not the best but hardly "terrible." He has ~92% finishing rate, with roughly 55% being KOs and 45% being sub. That says on the feet, if you brawl with him, he has the chin and power to KO you; and if you decide to take him down, which elite wrestlers like giant 6'1" Mchael Chiesa (roughly 80% of whose wins are subs) could, Luque still could easily outmaneuver them once on the mat. So, question is, how is Belal going to game plan for such a fighter? People like WB and Leon could do it, because they're taller and more agile, and they never engaged Luque in long stretches of brawling. They also not concerned about moving around. They have the height, speed, agility, and pure striking to stunt Luque, if he pushes too much. Again, what's Belal's game plan? We know he LIKES to pressure; but how's that not going simply play into Luque's style of brawling, where you hit him once and he hits you once, but his punches being much harder, with his chin being better than yours as well? Yes, Belal's pure wrestling is better than Luque's. Even Leon, a non-wrestler, could take Luque down; so that's not the issue, is it? Issue is, do you want to maneuver with Luque on the ground, given his proven BJJ skills?
I think this fight is underappreciated these two guy quietly doing work and i got stoked as soon as it became official. Its going to be a banger for sure
@@mandociaoI don't think the 5th ranked fighter in the world's best fight promotion qualifies as average but coming from someone who doesn't understand the work and skill it takes to get to that point your comment isn't surprising
@@jameshughes525 i saw Luque fights and Belal flights... Luque will go from round 1 to fight and to get the ko or the submission. Belal is very round up fighter but he will aim to get a decision to his cartel... Naaa buddy don't get me wrong Belal will be the floor cloth for Luque... Luque is a beast... Belal is a weak wrestler..
Luque is my favorite fighter hands down… his accumulation of work inside the cage is unmatched when it comes to violence, persistence, toughness and technique. Plus he’s a Jersey boy at heart! COME ON!
@@mint6006 He’s not a better wrestler than Colby he’s just the bigger guy with the weight advantage. Colby is a D1 all American Usman is a D2. Colby tried to take Usman down but Usman stuffed the takedowns( sorta Colby should have been awarded 2 takedowns) while Usman never attempted to take Colby down
@@JJS595 true defensive wrestling is easier but it’s not by a big margin if colby is better bc if it was he’d be able to sit usman down and control for at least a second. but he couldn’t . not much of a weight advantage usman i’m cage is around 182 and colby walks around at 183. while usman walks around maybe closer to 190 but on fight day they’re around the same usman is just stronger with a better build
I didn't know Belal had no martial arts background until his 20s, what a inspiration he is, how did he improve his wrestling in such a limited time? I mean he has one of the best takedown defenses in ww and he ragdolled Wonderboy like no one did, Wb had got taken down 5 times in his entire ufc career, Belal took him down 7 times
Is it only me or does anyone else think that belal speaks very fast? I have a feeling he could be a good rapper. He could double time easily. He has the voice for that too. Would be better than Woodley for sure 😂
Seems wired all the time, but good fighter. As much as I think he’s boring, it’ll be hard to deny him after this. And I know “it’s MMA” for anyone that’s about to say that. But Vicente is a problem for anyone and I’ve always thought it’d be a great fight with him and Usmam so if Belal beats him then he for sure the real deal
@Hamzat Chimneyave I wouldn’t doubt that, he seams to be pretty promising but when I was watching him vs Michael Cheasa I thought he definitely looked beatable once he faces people within the top 5 but also.. styles make fights so he might look completely dominant against anyone else
@@bluesss149nsss4 that was five years ago. Belal has beat a more dangerous striker in wonderboy, and has beat a more dangerous grappler in Demian Maia. This isn’t going to be a walk in the park for either guy
@@Sam-ng3of And while it was done against a 39 year-old Karate master, with no ground game (even if WB has good TDD), I doubt very much he'd be able to impose the same physicality against a 30 year-old KO and BJJ legit artist (~92% of Luque's 21 wins came by KOs and Subs), who had just easily sub giant 6'1" Michael Chiesa, an elite wrestler and BJJ man (most of Chiesa's wins came by submissions). To put that in perspective (in terms of Luque's impressive finishes): Young Thanos, whom until his Burns fight every MMA "expert" was expecting to run through everyone at 170 and 185 in the same night... only has ~90% finishing rate! And he only has 11 fights, with only one real elite opponent, Burns.
Boring, pillow fists, just cuddles, only exciting fights are when he loses to someone he can't wrestle But enough about Colby looking forward to belal Vs luque
@@dhuss14 he does almost every thing the MMA community normally claims they hate, all in one person yet they love him 🤔 1) ducks fights ✔️ 2) sits out waiting ✔️ 3) doesn't get finishes ✔️ 4) cherry picks opponents closer to 40 than 30 years of age ✔️ 5) only interesting fight is when his opponent like Usman makes it interesting by not letting him wrestle ✔️ 6) cuddles holding position barely causing any damage or going for any subs ✔️
The silent assassin should fight for the belt if he ever can be in the octagon with Balal the second time. He should fight Usman. Or winner of Usman vs Edward.
Shout out to ESPN for this production.. we need more of these, doesn't always have to be a countdown where we get a chance to know about the fighters..
tengo un conflicto de interes, Luque tiene sangre chilena y de mis peleadores favoritos, pero Muhammad trabaja con Jaula Bahamondez, ambos competidores son buenísimos y se nota la calidad humana de ambos. que gane el mas mejor nomas
Both guys are top fighters and have interesting back stories. I’ve never seen anything promotional for luque before - I know they have to pick who is going to get the marketing push etc. but they are missing out pushing other great fighters. Any consistently top 10 fighter should have a 15 min doc on them done. UFC taking its foot off the pedal again!
Luque is the real dark horse it was once Burns but he’s established it’s luques time he’s in his prime and i see him forcing his way into a title shot soon.
Keyboard psichology: Vicente is in a much better place mentally. Belal complained a lot and was either salty or putting this pressure on him self to became a champ for his dad, for his brother... Vicente is cool as duck, and he sees past the champ stuff, to became a legend and so on and that is great! And when he talk about being champ is for himself, to conquer he said and then be able to provide for his loved ones. Vicente has an edge imo. Ps: i am biased as it gets. I train in jiu jitsu in Cerrado MMA, besides that Vicente along with Charles Oliveira are my favorite brasilian athletes, so...
I like this fight..especially like Luque. His always exciting and gives max effort. Honestly I don't see either becoming Champ but hey let's see! Wishing them the best
Belal takes this. People sleep on Bully but he's like a poor mans Colby. Great cardio, good wrestling & slightly worse striking. Gonna be tough for Luque to keep him off him for 5 rounds.
2 great athletes but ever better men. Cant wait to see the performance these guys put on. This is why I love mma… great people dedixated to their craft.
Winner of Luque vs Muhammad vs Winner of Chimaev vs Covington For the #1 contender fight after Usman vs Edwards (assuming Usman loses) This is just common sense. Anything else stalls the division.
@David Martins the champ shouldn’t be fighting more than the contenders. He has edwards in the late spring and then later in the year he could fight the winner of what I stated.
Why would you think that Belal's only income is fighting? Who knows what investments he has and what kind of family he comes from. Small minded comment
@@muhammadzariff7075 He doesn’t have nearly the power or striking game of anyone ranked ahead of him. His wrestling is good but it’s nowhere near good enough to out wrestling usman or Colby. And he hasn’t shown the durability to walk off shots from Usman, Burns luque, or khamzat.
@@Hades-it3gf Its not fair for you to discredit him like that this early on. This is MMA, anything can happen. If someone like Usman can wrestle their way up to the championship, then so can Belal. Well, we will see this Saturday when he fights Luque. It seems like so many people are sleeping on him just on the basis of him being too boring and wrestle-heavy.
Belal is on the same trajectory as both Khabib and Usman. All of them had “boring” fights, but that didn’t matter to them, because its all about winning.
@@muhammadzariff7075 Belal is a tough, scrappy, skilled guy. Unfortunately, with the likes of Usman Colby, Leon, Luque, Burns, Khamzat, Shavkat next to each other like that... there really is no way for Belal to go past any two of those guys one after another. We need to be fair to all athletes in sports that we watch. If you watch carefully the Leon-Belal fight and you came away with the belief that if Leon hadn't accidentally poked Belal's eye, that Belal would have gone on to win, you don't understand and don't appreciate MMA. Leon clearly out-classed Belal in the 6-7 minutes they maneuvered around each other, testing each other's skills and agility. And Leon is the opposite of Luque in terms of mentality: Luque go for broke; he has the chin and skills to do it, too. We will retrace out steps and return to this debate, should Belal out maneuver Luque. Otherwise, everything I said here still stick with Belal until he retires.... Again, Belal is a very respected, scrappy, tough, and skilled fighter; he just doesn't have the height, size, power, speed, and agility --- or at the very least one extremely deep specialty (like Colby's D1 wrestling or Leon's pure technical striking or Luque's chin-one-punch-KO ability, etc) --- required at 170 to muster his way past ANY of the 4-5 guys ahead of him right now. When you had others like Sean Brady, Shavkat et al to the mix, too, it's virtually next to impossible for Belal to move any higher in the ranking... He's good enough to settle between #5 and #10; he won't go up any further, at 170.
Well he beat Wonderboy (who's a great striker & beat Luque in a fight that was 99% striking).. But I think Luque can win b/c he has a ground game. I don't think he'll be as easy to get/keep down as Wonderboy was. The smaller octagon makes it interesting though.. It could be a tricky fight
Winning the fight? It was only the second round, you twit. Imagine, if somehow the Chandler vs Oliveira was cut short. You would probably hold the notion that Chandler will dominate Oliveira due to what happened in the first round. Remember, this is MMA, every second could be vastly different from the one preceding it.
@@nutmegriot209 wonderboy like 40 🤣🤣🤣 that's like bragging about beating Ferguson. Luque put him the shadow realm, Leon was about to.. he's beaten wrestlers and past prime guys 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Let's not pretend Edwards wasn't on his way to one of the easiest wins of his career against Belal. That eye poke was a blessing from the gods for Belal because he wasn't gonna win that fight in a million attempts.
These 2 guys deserve a title shot more then Leon Edwards Who barley fights and hasn’t fought any top 5 opponents opponents when they were ranked except RDA 3 years ago and beats unranked Nate Diaz and expects a title shot? Conor McGregor has had the same amount of wins at 170 over the last 2 years as Leon Edwards I’m not even joking💀 and Leon has fought cowboy in his career in 2018 and Couldn’t finish him in 5 rounds when Conor knocked him out in 40 seconds but I’m not saying Conor deserves at title shot and yes I know Edwards has Beaten luque but that was when they were unranked 5 years ago and I think luque is a better fighter then Leon now in my opinion and more deserving as well as belal who Leon poked in the eye so no one won that fight

Don't know who's going to win. I really really hope it's not Belal.
But unfortunately this is going 2 b a good win for belal
i will give you a hint, visualise a train and a stuck car on the rail road. the train is Luque the car is Bilal.
@@indiancitizen8221 Have you seen Luque fight?
Ss he's a underdog but he'll lose this weekend
@@NicolaMaxwell oh sorry 😞 did u watch the fight buddy how belal dominated that
Luque is gangster.
Luque🔥🔥
I respect Belal he’s done great things and probably had a great life doing what he loves, but he ain’t UFC champ level
How is he not? He’s basically like Usman before Usman won the championship.
@@muhammadzariff7075 He doesn’t have nearly the power or striking game of anyone ranked ahead of him. His wrestling is good but it’s nowhere near good enough to out wrestling usman or Colby. And he hasn’t shown the durability to walk off shots from Usman, Burns luque, or khamzat.
@@Hades-it3gf Its not fair for you to discredit him like that this early on. This is MMA, anything can happen. If someone like Usman can wrestle their way up to the championship, then so can Belal. Well, we will see this Saturday when he fights Luque. It seems like so many people are sleeping on him just on the basis of him being too boring and wrestle-heavy.
Belal is on the same trajectory as both Khabib and Usman. All of them had “boring” fights, but that didn’t matter to them, because its all about winning.
@@muhammadzariff7075 Belal is a tough, scrappy, skilled guy. Unfortunately, with the likes of Usman Colby, Leon, Luque, Burns, Khamzat, Shavkat next to each other like that... there really is no way for Belal to go past any two of those guys one after another.
We need to be fair to all athletes in sports that we watch. If you watch carefully the Leon-Belal fight and you came away with the belief that if Leon hadn't accidentally poked Belal's eye, that Belal would have gone on to win, you don't understand and don't appreciate MMA. Leon clearly out-classed Belal in the 6-7 minutes they maneuvered around each other, testing each other's skills and agility. And Leon is the opposite of Luque in terms of mentality: Luque go for broke; he has the chin and skills to do it, too.
We will retrace out steps and return to this debate, should Belal out maneuver Luque. Otherwise, everything I said here still stick with Belal until he retires....
Again, Belal is a very respected, scrappy, tough, and skilled fighter; he just doesn't have the height, size, power, speed, and agility --- or at the very least one extremely deep specialty (like Colby's D1 wrestling or Leon's pure technical striking or Luque's chin-one-punch-KO ability, etc) --- required at 170 to muster his way past ANY of the 4-5 guys ahead of him right now.
When you had others like Sean Brady, Shavkat et al to the mix, too, it's virtually next to impossible for Belal to move any higher in the ranking... He's good enough to settle between #5 and #10; he won't go up any further, at 170.
stay w this type of content
I like both of them 💚💚
I see this one going like Luques last fight, Belal will shoot and try and chase the RNC, and Luque will flip him out and get him with the D'arce.
I got luque, I don't see belal beating a legit striker. Leon was winning handily in their fight.
Well he beat Wonderboy (who's a great striker & beat Luque in a fight that was 99% striking).. But I think Luque can win b/c he has a ground game. I don't think he'll be as easy to get/keep down as Wonderboy was. The smaller octagon makes it interesting though.. It could be a tricky fight
Winning the fight? It was only the second round, you twit. Imagine, if somehow the Chandler vs Oliveira was cut short. You would probably hold the notion that Chandler will dominate Oliveira due to what happened in the first round. Remember, this is MMA, every second could be vastly different from the one preceding it.
@@nutmegriot209 wonderboy like 40 🤣🤣🤣 that's like bragging about beating Ferguson. Luque put him the shadow realm, Leon was about to.. he's beaten wrestlers and past prime guys 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@@annunaki7753 thas true but i like how Belal used the small octogan. I think i'm still leaning Luque though
@@nutmegriot209 if belal makes it ugly then he gotta good chance. Also if it goes to rds 4-5 belal has better chance
Props to Mama Luque
Love these fighters.
Anyone in 2022 still wasting their money on expensive jewellery I can't get behind.
Excited for this 1
I love Luque haha
Wonderboy is on his way out and Maia is indeed super old.
i love this videos
Luque left Hooft? When did that happen. That means he fights Burns now.
Comments shows how belal lives rent free in these haters head. Congratulations 👏
Belal went from the most bling to the least shiny rolley lol
Luque by tko/submission
Leon edwards ruined this man’s eye lol
Let's not pretend Edwards wasn't on his way to one of the easiest wins of his career against Belal. That eye poke was a blessing from the gods for Belal because he wasn't gonna win that fight in a million attempts.
you never know you just need 1 punch.
Bet the house on Luque?
Nah is not a good idea
These 2 guys deserve a title shot more then Leon Edwards Who barley fights and hasn’t fought any top 5 opponents opponents when they were ranked except RDA 3 years ago and beats unranked Nate Diaz and expects a title shot? Conor McGregor has had the same amount of wins at 170 over the last 2 years as Leon Edwards I’m not even joking💀 and Leon has fought cowboy in his career in 2018 and Couldn’t finish him in 5 rounds when Conor knocked him out in 40 seconds but I’m not saying Conor deserves at title shot and yes I know Edwards has Beaten luque but that was when they were unranked 5 years ago and I think luque is a better fighter then Leon now in my opinion and more deserving as well as belal who Leon poked in the eye so no one won that fight
you are forgetting that edwards has beaten luque in his unbeaten streak
@@MuhGlassRibs yeah I say did Edwards has beaten Luque reread my comment
@@crashingbailey8617 And he was beating belal convisingly.
Who’s that Indian guy what’s his name?
Keep it up 100%
I like Belal, but he cant finish people, Luque can. May the better fighter win.
Leon was ducking him up
He ducked them both up
Antipathy till now for Belal
Vicente his already a star :D
