Why are we saying this? Well, recently Muhammad stated that he met with Team Edwards in the elevator and they were scared of him. The statement was a bit absurd, but Muhammad’s coach’s confession regarding his boxing training got the entire UFC community laughing. What’s the statement? According to Team Muhammad, his boxing skills are now on par with Canelo Alvarez after training with Mexicans.

“We got him the Mexican boxing style. If you guys watch Canelo, Marquez, all those guys – Belal has the hands like that right now. So Leon better be ready for that.” said Muhammad’s coach. Canelo Alvarez and Juan Manuel Márquez trained for years in order to get where they are and to make such a statement is kind of ignorant of Team Muhammad. Well, the statement was meant to be a threat to Edwards but quite the opposite happened.

As soon as the statement found its way to the internet, Conor McGregor jumped on the bandwagon to add a single laughing emoji to the post.McGregor later deleted the post but Edwards took cognizance of it and added a dual laughing emoji to McGregor’s reaction. In addition to the UFC star, even the fans attacked Muhammad for the quote.

The MMA community called out Belal Muhammad for his antics

Since Dana White announced the match, Belal Muhammad has been poking Leon Edwards by making statements about how he is going to defeat him. In one of his statements, he even stated that after winning the clash he would jump into the cage and challenge Edwards’s brother just like what Khabib Nurmagomedov did back in UFC 229. Well, looking at this kind of statement, a fan wrote, “With each passing day it seems that Belal himself wants to embarrass himself more. “

Furthermore, a frustrated fan emphasized the difference between the realm of boxing to Muhammad, “breh mma boxing v actual boxing is totally different.”

Well, that’s not all, Muhammad even explained that the entire Team Edwards was afraid of him, “I just saw him right now in the elevator, he looked like he was afraid. Him, his brother, and his coach all looked afraid.” A curious fan appears to be done with Muhammad, “LMFAOOOO na cause all this shit is genuinely funny as hell.”

Moreover, a fan has a request for the promotion, “Man if Belal gets slept early I stg I’m calling the ufc and asking if he can be released. He got all this shit talk and bro couldn’t sell a ppv to Palestinians.”

Belal Muhammad has been making statements that are quite working against him as in their initial face-off, Edwards was dominating him until the eye poke, ” Belal gotta be self sabotaging cus there’s no way they be putting this shi out and expecting to be taken seriously.”

Last but not the least, a fan used a bit of sarcastic tone, “Yes Belal also has Mike Tyson power, Khabib Wrestling, Pereira’s left hook, Henderson’s overhand, Jones Fight IQ he’s the best fighter in the multiverse on paper.”

Their rematch would prove, who is the best in the welterweight division. What’s your take on the statements? State your thoughts in the comments below.
