Some UFC 304 thoughts:
1. Credit to Belal. Had to scratch and claw just to get a shot and rose to the occasion. His story reminds me a lot of Leonโs in that you know it would have been tough to get another crack at the belt if he lost so he had to get it done, and he did. He looked great and has come a long way.
2. Would love to see a trilogy down the line but doubt it happens next. I do wonder who is next then. I liked Shavkat x Ian so maybe he waits? No great answer at this time.
3. I wonder how much that modified pile driver/slam affected Leon in the end. Canโt use the time as an excuse but I did say before the event that I thought the time was better for the non Brits. Of course that doesnโt apply to โฆ
4. Tommy Aspinall. He is the best heavyweight in the world. If he doesnโt fight for undisputed next - and I think he does - that other belt is as legit as the WAMMA title.
5. Paddy looked great. Top 10 guy next? If so, who? BSD, if he wins the next one?
6. Delighted for AAA. Truly one of the good guys, and needed that desperately after the two losses. Huge. Meal deals for all.
7. Team BFG is on a roll. Best gym in the world for big men. Nice one, Mick Parkin.
8. PFL doesnโt have a 125 or 135 division. Bellator only has 135. If UFC really lets Mokaev walk - and who could blame them after the recent antics - itโs gonna be tough out there for someone who was hoping to be the youngest UFC champ ever.
9. Welsh Gangster. Undefeated. Undisputed.
10. I hope they never do this middle of the night stuff again. The sport is too big for this. Fans deserve better. Fighters deserve better.
