Belal Muhammad has now fought his strategy to the highest and earned a real title shot in opposition to the present welterweight champion, Leon Edwards.
Success can deliver variations in how folks deal with you. For instance, when Muhammad was on the surface wanting in on the welterweight title scenario, he referred to as out Colby Covington quite a few occasions. Covington by no means took his battle gives severely, and he mocked Belal Muhammad.
Now, the tables have turned. ‘Bear in mind the identify’ has lived as much as his nickname and totally cemented himself as a real welterweight title contender. Now that Covington feels the consequences of being far too inactive, he’s calling out many large names. Muhammad doesn’t care, although, and it’s all very comical to him.
Belal Muhammad goes ‘scorched earth’ on Colby Covington
“That was actually the funniest factor,” Muhammad instructed MMA Preventing. “I’m not even going to deliver consideration to it (The callout by Covington) as a result of then I’m going to have a back-and-forth with him. This man’s a joke now. He understands he’s a joke now. So he’s attempting to go on the market and name out these greater names now. He’s calling out me, he’s calling out (Charles) Oliveira. Ian Garry’s not price it. Why, as a result of Ian Garry’s a foul matchup for you?”
“He is aware of that if he loses another battle, it’s over. How horrible that final battle was; he’s determined for one thing. He’s determined for a win. I feel he’s going to take a seat there and wait. Perhaps he’s going to name out a [featherweight] or any person and hope a kind of guys bites the bullet.”
Clearly, not permitting himself even to entertain this Colby Covington callout, Muhammad has moved on to greener pastures. He’ll rematch Leon Edwards at UFC 304, and this time, it is going to be for the UFC welterweight championship.
Do you suppose Belal Muhammad will defeat Leon Edwards this Saturday at UFC 304?
