@@SaminS14 Joe: this guy is an EEEEEELITE striker/grappler. best of the best. to any grappling or striker prospect with small records in grappling and striking before coming to UFC
What a lovely son Edwards has..Wish them both the best of luck..Come on LEON...Belal story made me cry as little kid ...God bless you and I wish you nothing but the best
It's a really good thing to do , but it's the wrong place to take them . USA is Israel Israel is USA Why take refuge with the same people that injured them.
Best Countdown episode in a long time. Giving UFC fans a look at Belal and his own life and motivation is pretty cool. Guy doesn't deserve the hate he gets
it was never his humanity out the cage tho. its was always his fighting style and his cringe trash talk. different parts of character=different reactions. he is a good dude with the Jood kid and the charity.
I remember when it immediately happened I was like "oh he's such a little baby, he just looking for a way out because Leon was piecing him up" and then they showed the replay and it was like "oh fuck, my bad bro. That one was pretty bad"
That little Palestinian boy broke my 💔 I have two little boys, and I can't imagine any child having to deal with such atrocities. Much respect to Belal and his family! I am starting to look forward to this card LFG 💪
That gets an Amen from me too Brother. Peace Love and Respect. I am British/English Like our Irish brother who has just commented I think I may mention where im from. One Love.
Having crossed paths with Belal on many occasions and known him for years, he’s truly an amazing guy! Super humble. Very giving. Super approachable. I don’t get all the hate, so I truly hope this episode changes some of those unwanted anger emotions towards him.
I never thought a countdown episode would make me cry so much 😭Thank you Belal for taking care of Jood. We all should take care of those who can't defend themselves.
Curtis Blaydes, Tom Aspinal, Belal Muhammad, Leon Edwards are all incredible individuals. Its hard to root against any of those guys. All some of the genuinely best dudes on the UFC's roster.
Honestly. I didn't know when I started crying after seeing the boy survived a bomb blast from the war in Gaza😢 OMG That was so sad especially seeing how happy the child was. God bless Belal
He's a good man, agreed. But that doesn't give him a superpower. He still sucks on the highest level. Respect to who he is as a man but he can't hold a candle to leon, as much as I wish he could.
I found belal kinda wack just like most people but it makes me happy seeing everything turn around for him right now.....because of this episode exposing his good humanity, a shift is occurring.....ive never seen so much Belal love....now imagine if he wins!?! Ill be happy for the guy......lets go Belal! Remember the name. Another new fan here. Respect, And im a very dedicated Christian.
Me having a daughter myself, can't even imagine your pain. Just trying to put me in your shoes brakes me along with my heart! I'm so sorry for you! May god bless you for the rest of your life brother! ❤
Belal is GOATLAL confirmed. Same reason why I can never hate on Chandler as a man. I’ll joke about them but I know they are real men of honor and compassion. They saved a child’s life and gave children hope. No one can say shit to them. Kings.
@@Sdot-od8jfA man of integrity doesn't desperately thirst over a fight with a washed Mcgregor. Fans just eat the charity pr garbage up as if there aren't unknown people doing the same.
Keeping politics aside, I'm not a big fan of Bilal Muhammad. But what he is doing for the poor people of Palestine, as a human being, deserves our respect. Watching him cry those tears of pain, showed his sincerity, his character, and heart. Win or Lose UFC 304, & for all the hate he undeservedly gets, I genuinely hope he succeeds in life.
Idc what anyone says anymore about Belal. He truly is a good man and doing good things in life. Besides the fact that he’s relentless in the cage. This countdown helped me to see him in a different light.
Belal literally said he HATES Leon so much. He is delusional if he thinks Leon has ducked him. Leon has fought whoever has been put in front of him. Belal is just bitter and jealous, and that will cost him the W.
@@John11-a true human being with good humans as parents. There r more ppl like them all over the world. Let's hope they can save as many children as they can.
@@John11-facts lol I didn't know much about belal(the person) til I saw him do that Joe rogan interview I always knew him as the fighter but behind the scenes belal is actually chill as fuck.
It was good seeing the back stories I got a lot of respect for Curtis Blaydes and Belal Muhammad even though I’m a country man and want Leon and Tom to win🏴🇬🇧👊🏻
bro, the thing is he isnt actually boring, its just mainstream to hate him cause he is so outspoken about Palestine, he is entertaining but haters decided he isnt.
Exactly this. Reap what u sow. People don't hate on him because of any other reason. We're just fans. Impress us thru exciting fights and the fans will follow. Lay n pray and hold against the fence, even if you have the belt and a great personality, ppl will not tune in or give u props.
@@PiglipsMaximusin all ways 😂 no he’s not. He’s not a better boxer he’s not a better kick-boxer. Doesn’t have better footwork. Doesn’t have a better defensive game. He’s good on the ground. That’s it. Good luck keeping Leon there.
Hahaha they say they care about Palestinian children but this is their role model 😆 Sahih al-Bukhari 5133 Narrated `Aisha:that the Prophet (ﷺ) married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death). Pathetic and evil
@@warmusic863What’s the point of this? You’re comparing our modern morale compass, with that of 1400 years ago, where it was a norm everywhere in the world? Get a grip, bro.
@Aesthetics622 so fucking what? You think americans are their only fan base? If it wasn’t for fans around the world the UFC would be NO where buddy. They only come here 2 times a year ffs, why put the fans through that? They don’t do that shit anywhere else
Katie, there are horrors happening and people like Belal keep the light. It’s the guys no one pays attention to. We never know what someone is going though
I have a lot of respect for Belal, you may or may not like the way he fights, but he's a respectable man and athlete, I also like Leon, let the better man get their hand raised. Martial arts are about respect, let's not forget that.
Mutual respect, admiration, courage, and curiosity. No matter who wins they'll show how refined and good they both are. They'll respect each other's power, strengths and skills. They're both too good imo. It would take a crushing blow to make one of them go down.
never knew much about curtis blades. My best friend once had a stuttering problem , I instantly gravitated to his story after learning that. cheers 🥂 to a good a hopefully entertaining ufc 304
Long time UFC fan from Sweden here. I hoped to finally be able to attend an event in person at UFC 304, but then you go ahead and schedule it for 6am Sunday morning...
Start the day? The event is 6 hours plus getting there and leaving it's bed time by the time you leave. Plus who isn't drinking 6 beers at a live ufc event? 😂
What makes me smile is how Blades and Aspinel dealt with the events of the fight and how they have dealt with this rematch. Nothing but respect for both fighters. Never knew Curtis Stuttered. Guy is a legend, as I know how hard it is to have one. Hope this is the start of the greatest heavyweight rivalry of all time.
100% respect to Leon. His ability to stay away from emotions and follow his game plan makes his corner one of the best in the game. Belal proves being hungry for success can grow, while most fade out. Great match up.
@@HoboGardenerBen The entertainment is a blast for everyone. However being a student of MMA creates the honesty and knowledge of how difficult the sport actually is. Especially Jitsu. These guys are the worlds best athletes. Even the lowest ranked most I experienced pro fighter gets a deep bow of respect. Do a little something every day, add sit ups always. The breathe of life is from the core.👊🏼🙏🏼
Glad to see no one in the comments ragging on him for crying and instead respecting him for it What a relief to see the 2yo kid can already walk after all that damage to his leg
I don't understand the Belal hate. He seems like one of the most genuinely good people on the roster. Im hoping he gets this belt, im tired of mumble mouth fighting once a year
I mean its understandable. Dude isn't entertaining in the cage. Don't get me wrong, he is a high level fighter and his style wins fights but thats the nature of the sport. If you aint starching folks then you will get hate. Thats why you have A holes like conor getting love...its all because they're entertaining. The hate he gets has nothing to do with his personality and humanity
He obviously seems like a stand up guy, respect to who he is as a man. But when he's lying on top doing pitty patty body punches, ONLY to stop the ref from standing it up is why people are not fans.
It was the result of not having an exciting fight style, and all the talking and boasting he has been doing since a few years back even. Just rubbed people the wrong way, felt like he hadn’t proved himself yet, to talk the way he was Even like his nickname “remember the name”......for a fighter that is not flashy, doesn’t get knockouts, and generally doesn’t stand out in any way. Just seems kinda corny
