The welterweight division is by far one of the most exciting divisions in the UFC. Fight fans have a lot to look forward to in this division in 2022. Fan-favorite fighters, hype fighters, teammates turned rivals, all in all, big names in the sport are going to go toe to toe this year, and Belal Muhammad is here to give his opinion on it.

Recently, Belal Muhammad appeared in an interview with ‘The Schmo.’ While talking about the Colby Covington-Jorge Masvidal fight, Muhammad also talked about Conor McGregor’s infamous baseball pitch in that interview.

The Schmo compared Muhammad’s baseball pitch to be better than the one that Conor McGregor had. On which, Belal said – “Yeah, I mean Conor’s a fighter. I’m an athlete and a fighter. I do it all. I could throw the first pitch, I could uh shoot a basketball, I could do it all.”
