UFC welterweight, Belal Muhammad is thrilled after his recent win against Stephen Thompson. The 20-3-0 record holder wants to fight again soon and hence, has been calling out fighters. Muhammad was seen four times in the octagon in 2021. However, his bout with Leon Edwards did not end the way either of the fighters had imagined.
Edwards accidentally poked Muhammad in the eye and the latter fighter was quite injured. Thus, the referee Dean Herb ended the fight in a no contest. Muhammad was disappointed because it was his first UFC main event and it ended uncertainly. But after this incident, he fought Demian Maia and Stephen Thompson and won both bouts. So his spirits are quite high.

It would be interesting to see whom he ultimately faces in his next bout.
