Keeping an eye on Dana White's recent statements, Belal Muhammad | did not hesitate to share a theory about the alleged privilege that the organization is giving to its rival Leon edwards. When commenting on the president's speech in which he stated that he had offered three opponents for the welterweight champion (up to 77,1kg.) to face in the UFC 300, the Palestinian believes that everything is to enhance English.
“So for me, I think it was more about promoting Leon. Leon doesn't go on social media, doesn't give interviews, doesn't promote himself. So, it's like Dana White is a prosecutor. He has to promote this guy and say, 'This guy is a killer! He said yes to every fight!” But if they really wanted him in the 300, they knew they could have called me and I would have said yes. This just tells me that they didn't really want him in the 300 or that Leon is a difficult guy to deal with. For me, all of this was just to promote Leon and make it seem like he's a bigger attraction than he really is," Belal said in an interview. 'SiriusXM's MMA Today'.

When continuing with his speech, Belal cited scenarios that go against what Dana declared.
“I know they offered it to Islam and I know Islam turned it down. But I don't believe they offered it to Shavkat because he was injured, and I don't believe they offered it to Khamzat because he wasn't making weight,” he concluded.

Currently second in the welterweight rankings, Belal is hoping to become the next title challenger. At a great moment in his career, the Palestinian protests that he did not receive an opportunity after fighting 10 fights without being defeated. So far, Dana White has not indicated who he will face Leon edwards to follow.
