“Gilbert is Fighting Masvidal and Colby is in Witness Protection”: Belal Muhammad on His Inactivity Inside the UFC Octagon

There is not an ounce of doubt in the fact that the welterweight division of UFC is packed with skilled fighters who have the capability to deliver high-quality and entertaining matches. Leon Edwards, Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington, Khamzat Chimaev, Gilbert Burns, and the list goes on and on. One of those names who has been impressing the fans with his exceptional talent is Belal Muhammad.

Ever since he trained with the MMA legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, Muhammad has impressed a lot of fans and critics with the change in his style. But many minds wonder why this amazing talent is not getting his fair share of ‘Big Fights’. Belal Muhammad answered this question on Twitter recently.

Belal Muhammad’s Retweet

A UFC fan recently tweeted Belal Muhammad, telling the 34-year-old fighter that he wants to see him fight someone like Khamzat or Burns. “Honestly dude, I’d rather watch you fight Khamzat or even Burns instead of wait in line; you deserve the hype of a BIG fight against a top name.” The fan tweeted.
