Given that you had Belal to win by a decision and you're surprised Belal outstruck him over 5, how did you envision him to win a decision?

Belal did to Burns what I thought Burns was gonna do with him. Props for him though. 

He deserves a title shot.

I bet both those guys are shaking in their boots. Belal might actually beat Colby or Leon if both break both their arms

I did envision Belal largely shutting down Burns, but I expected more of a clinch + occasional takedown and control type of approach. Like Usman vs Masvidal 1.

Colby vs Belal would be horrible. Double KO would be the only good result

Do companies really think putting obese people in their commercials are going to sell more product? Not so sure about that myself.

That was probably plan B but then he found that he didn't need to go there.
