Following Dana White’s Assurance of a Title Shot, Colby Covington Reminded of Recent Troubles by Belal Muhammad: “Lawyers Can’t Help U”

The welterweight division of the UFC is a battleground of skilled fighters with intense matchups and thrilling moments. Ever since Leon Edwards defeated Kamaru Usman to win the title at UFC 278 and successfully defended it against him at UFC 286, fans have been waiting to know who the next title contender is.

One fighter who has been in the conversation for the next title shot is Colby Covington. He was the backup fighter for the Edwards-Usman rematch, and UFC president Dana White promised him a title shot. However, there are other fighters with impressive win streaks and performances waiting in line for a shot at the title. Belal Muhammad is one such fighter who has been making a case for himself.

Belal Muhammad tweeted a warning against Colby Covington!

Muhammad recently defeated Gilbert Burns at UFC 288, adding to his impressive win streak. Dana White has assured that Muhammad is next in line for a title shot after Covington. To add fuel to this fire, things have not been well between Muhammad and Covington. Both of the fighters have been going against each other on social media and in interviews.

After his recent UFC 288 win, ‘Remember The Name’ tweeted a cryptic warning against ‘Chaos’. “Lawyers can’t help u with what I will do to u in that cage”, the 34-year-old wrote. In the tweet, Muhammad apparently alluded to the legal matter that arose after an alleged altercation between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal near Papi Steak House.

Muhammad made it clear that lawyers would be of no help to Covington if they were to meet in the octagon. Both Muhammad and Covington are apparently getting a title shot in the future. Therefore, there is a big possibility that the two rivals meet each other in the octagon soon.

The longstanding beef between Muhammad and Covington

Problems between Muhammad and Covington have been going on for a long time now. It all started at UFC 286 when Dana White promised Covington a title shot. Belal Muhammad stirred up controversy when he suggested that Covington might be getting a title shot due to his skin tone.

Muhammad even wore a T-shirt with Covington‘s bruised face on it to UFC 287. ‘Chaos’ replied to this by calling him a racist and demanding an apology. The 35-year-old even questioned Muhammad’s win streak. “He hasn’t beaten any top fighters; he hasn’t beaten a top-five guy”, Covington said in an interview.
