UFC fighters are known to face an array of backlash from fans and disrespectful callouts from fellow fighters. This is not a new culture to the UFC but has been prevalent forever. In fact, it is embedded in the MMA culture itself. Fans also enjoy the callout to an extent, giving them exciting hope for the upcoming fight. Recently, the Chech fighter Khamzat Chimaev was also called out by a fellow fighter. The fellow Welterweight fighter is none other than the undefeated Belal Muhammad. The call-out was pretty obvious.
While calling out the Chech fighter, Muhammad also insulted another Welterweight fighter. He tried to share his views on Leon Edwards. While talking, he said, “Nobody thinks Leon Edwards is the best right now.” Different fans have different opinions on the callout.
