at this point damon martin and the microphone have become one
you're not even supposed to talk directly in to it (above it is better to avoid pops)
Remember the spice girls... When two become one.
All I hear is him slating Leon like everyone else. The guys a chump and Leon’s a champ. If he goes and higher up Bellals back side he’ll come out his mouth. 🥱
@@nathankirby4612 as long as it ends with damon martin stepping away from the mic i agree with you
😂😂😂😂
Who else came here to read the comments rather than listen to the interview.
Come on Leon.
just woke my entire family up because damon martin cant step away from the mic
Someone should tell Damon his interviews don't have to be louder than people's reaction to Edwards headkicking Usman.
😀😀😀
😂😂😂😂
Man bro got that mic in his throat 😂
i think damon martin doesnt even have a mouth.. its just microphone
He's just hungry
“He only beat Kamaru twice, I’ve beaten LUQUE”
😂😂😂😂👍🏻
😂😂😂😂
🤪😜🤪😝😝🤣😂😂
I think he’s doing this on purpose.
belal is in for a surprise when leon dominates him and send him packing back to chicago😂
Like how they use the unpopular interviewer to interview belol
Belol is not funny but he can win split decision by crotch sniffing
hater hater pumpkin eater 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Toddpicogram-aka-Satan unanimous decisions, he doesn't do split
I'm sure he wouldn't want to be interviewed by Helwani
when you thought Belal was the most hated man in MMA and then you remember this guy exist Damon "the mic eater" Martin exist.
2 billion Muslims hate Conor😢
@Toddpicogram-aka-Satan hey that's a generalisation, just as offensive as saying they don't like soap
@@Richard-zp3ok they use their left hand to wash their arse
@@Toddpicogram-aka-Satanand you use your husband to wash it lmao
damon martin? immediately shut off. stop eating the mic
Must be unable to read too bc that's all the comments section ever talks about lol
I can hear the inside of his mouth
How on earth does someone see the second Usman fight and think Leon is mentally weak lmfao
or the Colby fight after all that about his dad and Leon performs like a seasoned vet
lmao, crazy right. One of the dumbest interviewers I've heard.
belal just looking for anything bad he can say about leon😂
Delusional
@@isaacpepper5224 well, the performance in the colby fight wasn't that good.
Brings up Colby’s foot but doesn’t bring up Gilbert’s shoulder super biased interview smh what a joke
Funny thing is there really wasn't nothing wrong with colby's foot but burns really did get the injury
Belal has truly come up with some of the strangest critiques of Leon… “his coaches have to give him motivational speeches” every coach and fighter relationship is different. Belal saying Leon is scared and has a weak mentality certainly makes me question how much film he truly has watched of Leon lol
It's just innocent trash talk. Don't overthink it.
@@boldottoman it doesn’t make any sense lmao
Belal comes across like a genuinely wholesome guy. The guy is a beautiful human being and a great example to others in my opinion. I wish him the best!
Dawg deep throats the mic 🤦♂️
I can’t finish this interview with Damon’s voice ruining it
Which voice bro??
Belas is low key funny af. Don't know why people hate on this dude so much
Because he's a muppet
@@thewraithize🤣
@@thewraithize😂😂😂😂
@@thewraithizehes going to beat Leon all the hate belal gets will just fuel him more I mean he hasn’t lost in a long time
@@Mockelchef And Leon hasn't lost in longer
This fights going to be underrated, I think it’ll be high volume war
Fight between two babies
The interviewer was certainly high volume
@@Toddpicogram-aka-SatanThey are both Colby’s fathers
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.
Kamaru Usman was also literally dominating and had Leon broken until the last 20 seconds of the fight. The head kick sent him to the shadow realms lol...My point this excuse don't work my friend.
@@ralphmadrid6982 That's not a very good example because Leon won the first round against Usman as well, then went on to win in the fifth after losing the next few rounds. It wasn't like Leon lost the first and went onto win. Plus Belal has never ever shown single shot KO power so hard to see him doing what Leon did with that head kick.
@@ralphmadrid6982but then Leon dominated the second fight 80% of the time and beat Usman's ass.
@@H4mmis we aren't talking about the 3rd fight where Leon won..The whole point was that you can't say just because Leon won the first round against Belal that he was going to win the fight. 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. 😊
@@michaelhall672belal doesn't have ko power with his hands but tbh anybody can get a KO with a well placed head kick
Damon Martin….. what a journalist 😅 a really challenging interview here
THANK YOU! I literally posted a similar thought. Every interview he does is like this.
Belal got the title shot and made everyone cry, imagine if he beats Leon in Manchester!! That may lead to WW3!
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.
No thanks.
Who said Leon isn't working hard?
Two decision merchants fighting and honestly don't care who wins
@@Sheamusownscena10 casual take
@mateohodge6998 Yes anyone who doesn't agree with you is a casual. How many finishes do they have combined, Mr. Hardcore fan?
How did a guy that just got in to the ufc get a Title shot wtf?
Shuuuuut uppppppp😡😡😡😡😡
Free palstine🤫🤫🤫
😂😂
@@Brucelee-pv6uf Palestine 😂
Just happy for belal to get his chance
This is the softest most slurped up interview of all time
This dude be Chat GPT'ing questions
"Colby just didn't perform" ... with a broken foot? LMAO. There's reasons why Journalism qualifications exist.
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.
Great input
w take man
Finally someone else said... Leon won the Colby fight more cause Colby didn't engage as much... Leon has too many moments he's on cruise control
What's this guys name again?
Everytime i hear Damon talk in the microphone, i skip 😄
Even the journalists who interview belal aren’t exciting
That's what I'm talking about BullyB!!!...Happy for you and although it took longer than expected but Dana White and the UFC team kept there word. Looking forward to your title shot!!!!.
LFG Belal... Leon lost his first 7.5 rounds vs Usman but wants to claim victory after 1 round and a disgusting eye poke with Belal
Clicked on interview and then stopped playing instantly once it was Damon Martin. Leon wins.
People don’t realise if Belal wins he’s gonna be a massive star. People will pay to watch him lose.
People will stream to watch him lose*
@@JohnDoe-pm4bgno lies told.
A focused fighter or athlete in general doesn’t complain about his opponent
100% reason to remember the name.
Bivol Blachowicz REMEMBER THE NAME 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
belal got the middle east behind him at least some of them😂
WHO?
Mentally weak and easily broken.....by the guy who asks people to remember his name and is always complaining..
Fun fact, Damon has no mouth 🤭
Fire this guy. Completely unsuitable setup for broadcasting.
Microphone Man and halal Muhammad is a crazy combo
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?
I see mic guy, I click away
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.
Hilarious reading this from the guy who quit in a fight where Leon was tooling him - talking about Leon who came from behind to KO the then p4p no. 1 to become champ. So that statement doesn't quite add up to me.....
did you watch the first fight ? leon really messed up his eye with those eye pokes the fight had to be stopped
Coming from a guy who's never had a full knuckle in his eye socket
I am so happy this fight is happening! Once Leon beats the brakes off this dude he'll finally shut up.
Bro I'm sure you look fine. No need to hide behind and DT the mic, that's amateur insecurity. Get a good set up, face your fears and you'll feel like a million bucks.
Lets gooo belal
22:48 yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah😭😭
24:39 yes pleaaase pleaaaase
24:57 this chicken can sit and wait his turn😡😡
he will have more fans and love in Manchester than Leon Birmingham Edwards
Happy for him. Dont waste this opportunity
I see Belal winning this fight. Leon is a good fighter but there is something about belal at this moment, this time that leon won't be expecting. We keep writing people off. Belal wins by stoppage.
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 😂
