Leon by eye poke. And still.

Mr Martin, it's 2024, you will not get too much flack for having a weak moustache. There is no reason to hide it at the cost of digesting the microphone for everyone to hear.

Telling that the only thing about a Belal interview that gets people talking is the mic technique of the interviewer

Every Damon Martin interview just pumps up the fighter and almost serves as a fluff piece. Literally every question leads Belal into an easy answer/opportunity for self-promotion. More soft balls than a little league practice. Zero attempt at a more difficult question and zero attempt at challenging any of his answers. It's like he wants every fighter to love him.

Let's be real, Belal. Leon was dominating every second of the fight before the eye poke.

I am a Leon fan also but I speak the truth. If you are going to say ohh round 1 Leon kicked Bilal ass and because of that he will win the fight....my point was if that was the case Usman broke Leon in there 2nd fight but look what happened...Last 20 seconds Leon kicked him in the head and put him to sleep. That was basically my point. Plus, I think Leon shouldn't underestimate or sleep on Belal...Belal has gotten souch better especially the last year and half or maybe longer ever since he has been part of the Dagestani "Khabib & Islam" training camps. I'm not saying Leon will lose but hopefully he is in his camp working his ass off cuz Belal is going to show up ready ready. 😊

Damion Martin's downplaying of Leon is madness. Incredible TDD and crisp counter striking. Okay he didn't put away Colby, but is he supposed to rush straight into Colby's wrestling?

I hope he somehow beats Leon and wins the belt. I don't care if he loses it in first title defence vs Shavkat or JDM but I want to see hard work being paid off and also for the memes.

Colby is nothing like Makachev said

It amazes me how many people neglect to consider the fact the the second fight with Usman was in Salt Lake City. The reason Leon looked so dejected was because he was exhausted due to the altitude. As was every other fighter on the card other than Usman who trains at altitude all year round. Remember how Costa and Rockhold could barely stand up after three rounds!

Softball interview. This guy needs to be more objective and not just ask questions a fighter wants to hear and try to be their friend.

this guy is doing the interview with a mouthful of food the entire time

This fight is closer than people think. I looked at both fighters' records on ESPN's website, and what I noticed is that both are guys who love a decision. They are both good at the same thing, which is controlling the fight, the pace of the fight. Ok, Belal has many wins by decision, but most of Leon's recent wins were also by decision. And we can't even say, "oh, but Leon's level of competition was much higher than Belal's." On the contrary, Belal's last 4 fights were against well-known names in the division. Belal is on a 9-fight winning streak against names like Vicente Luque, Gilbert Burns, Demian Maia, Sean Brady, etc. What Leon is really good at is controlling the pace of his fights through good fight IQ and kicks, where he has good low kicks. But I don't find Leon's boxing very dangerous. Leon is a Muay Thai guy, his strengths are kicks, clinch, and elbows. I don't think Belal will have much trouble with Leon's boxing. But of course, Leon is a better striker than Belal, while Belal is a better grappler than Leon. Although Leon has more submissions in his career, it's hard to imagine Leon submitting Belal. I think the key to victory for both is how willing they are to expose themselves more because both have similar goals in their styles, although the styles are different. Both are good at controlling the pace of the fight while exposing themselves as little as possible.

Can’t walk out with flags no more. Dana white is preparing for Belal. I’ve been watching ufc for years and I noticed that he treats the middle eastern ethnicity differently. Every single middle eastern fighter he ignores them 😅

how does Damon Martin still have this job? Serious question.

Im all for madons microphone. Gives him uniqueness and im here for it

“He doesn’t get no attention”. Leon interview 500k in one day. This guy gets interviewed & 3 days later 27k 😂

Hearing this interview is like hearing Dana get interviewed by John Morgan. Soft ball questions everywhere

I read someone say "its the guy that eats the mic" and thats all i can think about when i see him

so many interviews i'd like to watch made insufferable by the interviewer. i don't even like belal but i'd like to hear his response to leon lol not this way though...

2 minutes into the interview and I’m done. Who advised Damon to eat the microphone? Give me Ariel.

I’m honestly rooting for Belal. At least I think he will be more active than Leon.

You gotta love belal

Leon has had a tough life. Belal can’t call him mentally weak and actually believe it

Can't wait for Belal to win, it'll really throw a wrench in the whole welterweight division lol

What's this dudes name again?

This will make one hell of a when trash talk goes wrong video if he loses

Agreed Usman definitely wasn’t the same in the third fight! With that being said I like Belal he’s awesome but got to go with Leon 🇬🇧🇯🇲

Belal's time has finally come!

I was hoping to fall asleep with Belal but Damon’s voice wouldn’t let me Jk go Belal

Lay and pray to a decision at 5am will be ruff for the live crowd (hope I’m wrong)

Hope he wins, he will be an active champion and has the style to match anyone

I can't believe 20000+ watched this

Damon's hiar holding on for dear life.

The man gets hate but he looked amazing against brady on going pressure but I do think Leonel gets it done. Don’t leave belal out tho

How did the guy we don't remember the name get a title shot against Leon?🤔

I see Belal winning by KO tbh

Easily broken? He literally got beat up for three rounds and came back to win by KO. That is mental strength.

Mojahed’s videos peaked my interest on Belal after so many years

3 minutes jn and im already reminded why everyone hates Belal, I’d rather watch grass grow than watch this guy talk

DID BELAL JUST DO AN INTERVIEW ON ARIEL'S CHANNEL?

i typically make it like halfway through damon’s interviews but this one’s too rough i gotta back out early. engaging for belals sake tho

5 seconds in and I’m done!!

Remember the name " because his fights are the cure for your insomnia.

No way belal said that him beating 40 year old maia and wonderboy is better than leon beating the WW goat twice😂😂😂😂

You don't get to not losing for over 8 years winning 2 times from Usman and 1 time from Colby and being weak.

Islam was sparring Leon at AKA few years ago and he knows him well,Islam will teach Belal on which mistakes of Leon to capitalize

I do like BM but I really wanna see Leon vs Islam that’ll be such a great super fight.

Damon pls stop shouting into the mic

Ah the mic guy. Another potentially good video I don't get to watch 😞

100% team edwards

Call edwards mentally weak is hilarious 😂😂😂. Belal is dumb for that comment

12:56 I cannot believe an MMA journalist is spouting casual nonsense Colby didn't fight? That's because Leon absolutely dominated him and pressured him backwards. The one fight where Colby couldn't apply his pressure. That's also why Leon didn't finish him. Why would he if he's absolutely dominating him in every way? It would be stupid to force a finish. Absolutely casual take

anything can happen in the fight. he has a chance but i think Leon will win this fight

Leon came from being 3 rounds down to head kick KO one of the best WW ever and then beat him again, all Baele is remember for quitting when they last fought!!

Mentally weak and easily broken but if memory serves it was belal that was on his knees literally crying when they last fought 😂
