Published 12/23/2021, 5:00 AM EST

Belal Muhammad is coming off of a stunning victory over fan-favorite Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson at the last UFC event of the year. With this win, ‘Remember The Name’ has cemented himself in the top 5 of the UFC welterweight charts. On the same night, former UFC champion Tyron Woodley suffered a loss that caused many fans to dismiss his future in combat sports.

The MMA community subjected Woodley (19-7-1) to a lot of trolls because of his performances in the last couple of years. However, the rising welterweight prospect, Belal Muhammad, is all respect for ‘The Chosen One.’

“He’s like a such a good guy. So, like you never want to see one of your guys lose or get knocked out in that fashion,” Muhammad said in a brief chat with ESPN. “But, like you know, he’s been a fighter for so long, been a champion for so long, I just don’t want to ruin his or tarnish his legacy. Where people forget about how good he was and how much of a champion he was.”

“But, like, I mean, he seems like he’s taking it very well. I know that he’s definitely getting paid very well for it. I just don’t want him to be there for too long, where you’re like- now this guy’s lost 10 in a row or and now he’s just getting embarrassed type thing.”

Jake Paul versus Tyron Woodley 2 was a blast of a fight. The bout came to its conclusion in the sixth as ‘The Problem Child’ caught Woodley off-guard with a thunderous right-hand hook. Interestingly, Woodley didn’t stand a chance against Paul as the latter was leading all rounds before the last one as well.

This development has led ‘Bully B’ to believe that Jake Paul is actually a boxer in disguise. In the same chat, ‘Remember The Name’ continued, “I mean, maybe just proves that Jake Paul is actually good. He has power, obviously. He’s obviously working hard, and he’s training. Maybe, like I said, he’s just probably like a hidden boxer that’s just playing the YouTube part. Maybe he actually knows how to fight.”
